Hey Pandas, Share Your Cool Childhood Photos!
Looking at old photo albums makes me think that kids were way cooler back in the day. We built majestic snow castles in our backyards, climbed trees, wore fashionable sunglasses and had crazy haircuts. I think it's safe to say that most of us were about a hundred times cooler than we are now.
Share your cool childhood pictures and bring those old days back. The best pictures will later be featured in a separate post that will be shared on our Facebook pages, so give yourself the chance to become Internet-famous.
