What was it like growing up in the Willowcreek area
Allison
I remember wanting a slurpie and grabbing my friends, we would walk for miles just to get one. The 7-11 we went to the most was the one up by Brighton High School. All just for a drink!
We explored the area a lot. We would go up to big rock and look for old indian and pioneer remnants. There was an old stone building that was abondoned right next to the ROCK and that was the best place to look. If we saw pieces of ceramic, we would make up all sorts of stories about where and who had them back then. I truely think to this day that they were from back then. We spent a lot of time walking around the area. Back then, there were no houses past Brookwood elementary school and it was a great place to hunt for treasures. Mostly we only came upon a lot of cactus and sagebrush. I am grateful that there was not many houses back then, winding paths to big rock, playing in rivers and had miles and miles to explore.

Some rules at our house were
Allison
Sunday was a big rule day. No friends over. No Television except the occasional PBS, National Geographic fim. If we were to go outside, it was on a blanket reading. No homework on Sunday. Only Church music. This actually made for some great memories playing with my siblings. Playing church, library, etc..
I also remember going to bed-- on time! Now, since we had a room buddy, that meant hidding your giggles and chats.
I am sure my family will chime in with more-

Easter traditions we remember
Allison
I remember it being warm on Easter and we would go outside in the backyard for pictures. Mom always made a new dress for me. My favorite one was a long dress with blue polka dots and eyelet lace down the front like an apron. It was my "holly hobby" dress. A few of my dresses came with hats. At church it was fun to wear a hat, it made you feel all grown up. We hunted for baskets that were well hidden and always full.
