Fun things I did when I was a kid

Way back in the early 1960's my dad used to take my brother Rick and me skiing. One other thing we used to do was going to racing at Meadowdale Speedway Race Track many times which was sports car and stock car racing.

Another thing back in the late 1950's our family did was boating on a catamaran sailboat my dad had built. One other thing was way back in the early 1960's our family went on a vacation on the cabin cruiser we had. We lived on that boat for 2 weeks up in Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin. Another nice memory for me is that what Rick and I did then was when my Dad docked the boat we would always jump from the boat onto the pier and tie the boat to the dock. Also we went through many canals that had lochs where we went into the loch and held the ropes they had while they closed the loch doors and changed the water level in the loch to get us to the proper level on the exit side of the loch.

The other thing we did every day on that vacation was fishing to catch the fish we would clean and eat for dinner.
