While going through some old family photos I came across some photos of children at play. I thought they might be OK for a post into the Toys on Hive Community The community is about 'Toys that bring fun to life' and is hosted by 
This photo from the early 1900s is of two of my great aunts, and they are playing on a tire swing in a park that is on the banks of the Rock River 75 miles south of where I live. . That is the same river that flows past my home and It gives me a sense of family continuity to know my ancestors enjoyed it, too. Does anyone know what type of vehicle that old tire was from?
This photo from the late 1930s shows my uncle and his classmates posing for a photo on the playground side in the days before plastic slides, rubber mats and safety rails. On a sunny summer day these old slides were unusable, getting hot enough to cause 2nd degree burns.
From the 1950s an old photo of my uncle and his metal pedal car. I actually remember this toy, still in my grandparents garage although my little legs were not powerful enough to work the old rusty pedals and make the car go. The driveway was steep enough that you could get it rolling pretty good, but there were no brakes to keep it from going out into the street, so I was only allowed on the sidewalk with it.
This photo of my little brother and his shiny new Texaco Fire Chief truck that had a working water gun is from the 1960s. I remember it being too big to play with indoors and besides, mom wouldn't let us fill the water reservoir and shoot water around in the house. Maybe Jimmy had more fun with it than I did.
