Walking/balancing on curbs, retaining walls, downed trees in the forest - pretty much anything.

I have summers off from work (am a teacher), which I COULD be using to get tons of errands done, renovating the house, working out, etcetc. However, I am currently spending it sleeping in, playing too many video games, staying up late, crafting, reading, etc, which is exactly what I did during summer as a kid as well. It's been nice :)

I don't get to do it much anymore, but watching cartoons on Saturday morning.

Sandwich biscuits (like Oreo and the likes, but there are plenty local brands) are extremely popular among kids where I live. I still eat them, the same way as I did as a kid: split them in halves, eat the filling-less halves, and then join the halves with filling so I get to eat biscuits with 2x more filling.

Me and my wife (no kids) have recently decided to do the 'stuff you enjoyed being a kid' type outings. Such as dino parks, castles, zoos, theme parks.

If you are an adult having kids is usually how you end up in those places and we decided just to do those things for ourselves.

At home I exclusively go up-stairs on all fours

DINO NUGGETS

Panther run up the stairs :3

At home my main mode of locomotion is skipping, it's just fun, also it's faster than walking

Laser tag. Shit's great, the shine does get taken off somewhat when I do really well and rank top but all my opponents are small children and their parents look vaguely annoyed.

Running short distances for no particular reason. Like if I'm a short distance from the car and realize I forgot something in it, I'll run there and then run back.

Sometimes people are like "what's wrong?? why are you running??" and I'm just like why not? It's fun.

Stepping on crunchy leaves

I still play with my old Legos, albeit very rarely.

I (38 m) still have a blanky I sleep with - mostly because my cat will only sleep in my bed if it's there, she will (mostly) only sit in my lap if it's there and she pretty much just hangs out in whatever room it's in... Yeah... It's her blankly, I'm just its mode of transport to make sure she hangs out with me.

Even though it's more of a stress reducer and to help me calm down, I like to snuggle and cuddle with my favorite stuffed rabbit. It also brings me back somewhat to when I was a kid and had tons of stuffed animals.

47 and I still try to get out to a skatepark at least twice a week.

No idea how long I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to make every session count.

Splash in puddles

I’m a stay at home dad so I’m constantly playing house and building towers so my kid can knock them down. Good stuff.

During spring time when snow is melting I like to dig small ditches to drain puddles and watch the water flow. Some of my mountain bike trips take twice as long because I can't help but stop for every nice puddle

EDIT: Also run! From my house to car or shed to house etc. I could walk but running is faster and more fun. I don't get why adults only run to excersice.

TIL I must still be a child. I do most of the things mentioned.

Eating candy whenever I god damn want to.

The swings.

Some of my fondest memories are of swings. Not just from childhood either. I vividly remember an intense session in university, and another from only a few years back was special for a variety of reasons. And now, my daughter is just old enough to really start appreciating them. I don't think I'll stop swinging until I'm incapable.

My freezer doesn't go a summer without freeze pops/ice pops and it never will.

a bit weird, as a kid I developed a habit of making "tape swords" by taking a long piece of clear tape and rolling it into a thin tube. I still do if if I find myself with a roll of tape, it's a good fidgeting tool.

Laugh at farts, fart noises, fart jokes. Farts are funny heh heh

I always wanted a cat, but my parents never let me. Now I have two, and getting a third.

Also, I always wanted to wear colourful, pastel jfashion or edgy goth clothes, but I had neither the money or the style and now I wear both daily (sometimes at the same time, I guess)

Also dessert as dinner, video games whenever and playing Simba with the cats.

Listening to bedtime stories, well now its audiobooks but its just the best way to fall asleep

Holding a plate of food or a cup of coffee and pretending it is a spaceship flying through the air, dodging the chair, the table, the house plant, over the couch, down the canyon of the coffee table and chair and carefully up onto its landing pad at the end table. A few times I've had some near misses and hit a wing or the underbelly on an obstacle. Once or twice, I was witness to a terrible tragedy as I lost my ship as it spilled out onto the living room floor. Perhaps it was the lack of airplane noises that caused these terrible mishaps.

I drink A LOT of chocolate milk

I like to crawl up stairs on all 4s when no-one is home.

Blowing soap bubbles and accidently spilling half of the fluid.

Jump in puddles. I'll never stop.

I don't think I ever really stopped being a child, cuz I still do pretty much everything I did when I was 10. lol

I watch cartoons, I play with toys (mostly Lego) and video games, I blow dandelions, I do the hand out the window thing in a car, I'll dress up like a ninja and prowl around in the dark, etc.

Edit: Reading this a second time, makes it sound like I am Charlie from It's Always Sunny...

Leave the marshmallows to the end when I eat Lucky Charms... And still eating kid's cereal for breakfast.

This is more of a highschool childish, but occasionally I like to smoke weed and stay up till 3am playing video games. Then call in sick for work the next day of course

As spring come, breaking down the ice crust that forms near the sidewalk.

Riding the grocery carts through the store if nobody is around to hit. Ive slammed into a display once, took almost 5 min to get it back together, and no employees came to help the entire time, but i dont blame them.

Singing made-up songs.

I still make random noises for no reason
