Daily Pattern - Red Rubber Balls

Most of my elementary school memories of recess involve a game that incorporated red rubber balls. Every game : Dodge ball, kickball, foursquare -- all of them involved that ball! I was never very good at any of the games but I still fondly remember those fantastic 15 minute recess sessions!

Daily Pattern: Spring Horse Race

Second pattern of the day - but this one is for today's theme "recess". I never had the luxury of a spring horse on my elementary school playground, but on trips to cooler parks riding the spring horse was my favorite activity next to maybe the tire swing. You don't see too many of these little guys around these days, perhaps they've been deemed unsafe - but they'll always hold a special place in my heart!
