Out of the woods 

For some kids, out of the woods meant back to where the authority figures they ran to were so they could get other kids in trouble, so much fun to them, or at least they claimed it was, that they had to have popcorn for show to somebody else), so they use the expression out of the woods a lot, but for others, the woods wasn't such a bad place to be.
