Little People

While at my parents' house, it was super fun letting Madi play with all the toys that I entertained myself with as a little girl. Growing up, one of my favorite things to play with was the Little Peoples. Back then the "peoples" were much different- a lot smaller than they make them now, but just as fun- if not MORE fun!! The other day I had such a great time setting up a Little People's town.

My town included a house.....


The school house- complete with a bus to get the kids to school!


The Farm.....



The parking garage- we had an especially fun time racing cars down the ramp, watching how far each car went!



The zoo train.....



and even an Airport!



What a great time I had setting this all up. It was a tough job keeping the kids away as I organized my town! Oh, the memories it brought back from when I was younger and would do the exact same thing! Thanks mom and dad for holding on to all these great toys!!

Wow memories!! I had the farm, parking garage, and the airport. It provided hours of entertainment then, and I'm sure I would have a great time playing with them now too.

I hope that you will keep those forever. Did you know that that they are worth a small fortune. I just love how our toys we loved growing up is loved by our own kids now.

So retro... That is so awesome that your parents held on to all those toys. That makes me not want to get rid of all my kids toys so my grand babies can play with them! I can totally see you trying to set up the little people town and fighting Madi off from messing it up. That's so funny!

I have the barn and house from when I was little and Luke plays with them everyday. I looked on Ebay and they fetch a lot of money, but they're too sentimental to sell.
