It was a view similar to this one that I was treated to on my way home last week. A quiet street, families arriving home, and a small child on a pogo stick. The memories that came flooding back made me smile.
I'm sure the pogo sticks of my childhood were much simpler than the one in this picture. I dare say though, that we probably had more fun on them "back in the day." I must admit that I was really surprised to see a kid outside on a pogo stick. It just doesn't seem like it is a very popular toy these days - which is a sad, sad statement.
I loved jumping on my pogo stick. What one would do to have back just a few minutes of that time!
Note: Did you know that there is a sport called "stunt pogo"? According to wikipedia, some form of stunt pogo has been around for 50 years!
If only we'd known.

absolutely love you.
I had a pogo stick...and it was black and green. And i pogo'd to the moon.
I show pogo stick no love. None. Because There was something that surpassed the pogo stick. I of course am referring to the pogo ball. Yes many a sprained ankle of my childhood is due to the perfection of the pogoball grab stall. Pogo ball ftw (for the win)
Wee, you really need to update more! HOW am I supposed to get my Oregon/family fix without you. Honestly. :)
