I remember one year that we were at Grandma Eardley's house, Heather and Hollie were there too, and of course Russell and Kyle were over there and we were playing good guys and bad guys (cops and robbers- in my memories we always seemed to play that game).
Kyle figured out how to get on top of Grandma and Grandpa's camper, and was using it to "shoot" at us (our guns were our hands and we made sound effects) We all started to get up there and Grandma came out. I'll admit it wasn't the safest place to be in hindsight so it wasn't a surprise that she yelled at us. We all got down but we were snickering because of what she yelled at us. She said, "You kids better get down from there! If your grandpa saw you up there he'd skin ya alive!" Somehow we didn't believe her that Ferle would actually do anything but tickle us. I think he had seen us up there before her and didn't say anything actually.
The other thing I remember is how badly Hollie was teased by Chad and Russell about her gun noises, "Pe-oom, Pe-oom!" Sorry Hollie, but I can't share one memory without the other.
I remember the boys on the camper but didn't remember the rest. Funny to hear about the teasing... I always remembered playing in the tree (think it was a bush.) but my memory is a tree. We set up house and played for hours. Back behind the driveway.

I am going to guess that was the row of Pomegranate bushes you played in. I usually played on the swing set, or around the big tree in the middle of the yard. I was definitely too afraid to go behind the shed because of the giant red ants.
