13 & 19 are my favorites
These are great. Takes me back. I loved my beanbag chair — until it started leaking beads. Duct tape was not enough to fix it!
Just FYI the third from the end (the child with a blanket fort) has the wrong caption. It was already used on another photo.

The quotes sounds super fake though haha
Good pics. Remember some of the clothing and decor very well
High quality post. Thanks for posting.
The giant fork and spoon! Those memory cells didn’t know they were being called up today. What was with that trend?
We not only had color photography then, but we lived in color.
Love the art in the background of picture 5, and the look on the woman’s face in 16.
