Fun with the Family

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Transcript

The minute we got home from school, we changed clothes and went out there did whatever had to be done. We had a pretty good routine. You pretty much knew always what was expected of you. And of course when the work was done, we had that big wrap-around porch and we'd all sit out on that wrap-around porch and rest and talk and laugh. The kids would maybe play games, horseshoes or baseball. Like I said, it was a good life!
