Hopefully I'm not the only parent that remembers pogo sticks. I used to spend hours on mine in the summertime - hopping all over the neighborhood. I think my pogo stick got left behind on one of my family's multiple moves and I sort of forgot about it. I never really thought about them again except in passing as one of those "old school" toys that you probably couldn't buy anymore.

How wrong I was! Recently I came across pogo sticks again and just had to buy them for my kids - and myself! I've been having the best time getting reacquainted with this old toy from my childhood...and my kids don't think they're half bad either! Althought I'm not quite as good as I used to be - must be the passing of 20 years since I hopped around on one. 

If you're looking for something different and fun for your kids to do outdoors this summer, here's some more information on kids pogo sticks. They're definitely good for exercise and lots of laughs too! 

Now if I could just get my hands on some old-fashioned roller skates and a set of stilts my life would be complete again!
