old timers

Let me begin by telling you that a little over two years ago my brothers and sisters and myself cleaned out the attic in my parents home. The attic was a place my mom put things, not just things.. EVERYTHING. Not junk, just stuff she didn't want to throw or give away. It was so great watching my brothers and sisters find toys from their childhoods and remind each other about good times. In those toys were fisher-price toys from days gone by. After the attic was cleaned these toys were moved to a basket in the garage. Fast forward the story...Tuesday Ethan and his friend found them and decided they would clean them (25 years of attic dust) and play with them. They weren't able to get much playing done so on Wednesday they continued the cleaning process and this time were able to play to their hearts content. Now that the toys are clean we are able to bring them in the house and this morning it has been non stop play. All three boys love them!
This one goes out to Allen, Kim, Colby and Angie. I hope you guys get a big smile out of this today :}

How fun to still have those toys! I grew up with one of those Fisher Price garages (top photo) and we loved it. Are you getting down and playing with them?
