Things to do
Unfortunately a lot of kids today need the electronic world to keep themselves occupied.
We were at Swains Lake in Barrington on Saturday visiting friends and the childern there at 2 other cottages kept themselves very entertained without all the electonics. Just the water and each other for hours.
Way back when: I laid on the dock at night. Occasionally we watched channel 9 and the wrestling if the weather was lousy. Anyone remember doing puzzels??? We had plenty of them for those rainy days too.
As Winnisquam Guy said: as we got older we had the old fishing boat with its firebreathing 3 hp evinrude I too had the 3 hp Evenrude (1960) and 1961 Stracraft 9' pram to get around. Still have them too, stored at my brothers. No big boats as a lot of teanagers today do.
