Oh yes, the hula hoops what fun! Our neighborhood had them and we all tried to do it. I remember going from my waist to my kness and back up. I could do it a hundred times then. I still have my old pink one. I don't think I could do it very long now but I can see where this would help with weight loss.
I too remember the skates with the keys and skating on the sidewalks. Loved your skating rink story Jawjaw.
