My favorite childhood memory was hearing my Dad say come on were going for a ride. This usually happened on Sunday afternoons. We would all pile in whatever old car we had at the time and we would be off on an adventure. Those were the good old days. I've said it before here, I really miss my dad, I'm so glad I have my scrapbooks.

My fav. memory is my sister and I swimming at the local pool, and having each having $2 to spend on lunch there....which would always be a long licorice rope-a kids fav. meal!

My favorite childhood memories are the trips me and my parents made to the beach. (We live closeby the sea) Building sandcastles. And especially eating cherries and strawberries at the beach.

I loved playing outside after dark and catching lightingbugs. It has been a long time since I have seen one around. I still live in the same neighborhood that I grew up in but it is much more developed now. I often think it is a shame that my kids missed out on some of the more simple pleasures I knew as a child. Progress, I am not sure it is always a good thing.

my favorite summery memory is that we were outside after breakfast and didn't come in until suppertime...the days felt like they went on forever until it was time to watch the fireflies.

We used play hide and seek in the dark every night. We had many rules but one was you couldn't go more than two rows into the corn field. Happy memories.

It would have to be hearing that glorious sing-song alert of the incoming ice cream truck to our subdivision! Then the full speed run to the truck in panic that he wouldn't see me and would keep going :-)

My fav summer memory was a road/camping trip that we went on across North Eastern Oregon. We were gone for 2 weeks and visited Chief Joseph's grave and other fun places. The best thing was my dad was able to go with us. He was working for the state forestry dept then and always was "on call" during the summer in case there was a forest fire so we usually went camping with just my mom.

My favorite Summertime memory would be swinging on the swings until the firefly's came out and then chasing them, catching them in our hands and watching them glow. :-D

My favorite memory was the summer we rented a cabin on a lake for a month. Bliss.

My favorite childhood summertime memory is playing with my cousins. I miss playing house and kickball with them.

Road trips! We did a lot of traveling in the summertime - & I loved it. We got to see a lot of different places & I wouldn't trade the memories we made together as a family for anything.

Swimming in our pool day after day and never tiring of it.

Playing outside until the outside light was put on and then seeing who had collected the most lighting bugs!

I dig Elle's Studio. My fave summer memory is hanging by the neighborhood pool all day with my mom and little sister. My mom was a school teacher so she was off all summer and make it her priority to have the best tan in the land.

Love Elle's Studio! I have been really excited to see how the rest of the mini album on their blog comes along!

a yearly trip to my aunt and uncle's farm. of course my grandfather lived there and i loved seeing him. i just loved being on a farm.

I love Elle Studio!! My favorite childhood summer memory is having picnics with my family at our farm. We had the simplest of meals but we always had fun.

going to the beach

My favorite childhood memory was going to Mexico every summer to spend time with family. I went back for 2 weeks last summer and WOW all the sights, sounds and smells brought back a flood of memories. The bright, bold, beautiful colors everywhere, the street vendors, taco stands and even the pollution brought all of my senses back to my childhood. Can't wait to go back!!

Favorite summer childhood memories always include weeks at summer camp and trips to the Jersey shore. Those were the days :)

going to the mountains with our family every summer. my brother and sister and i felt so free to roam around and explore!

My favorite memory is the summer that I had my first job at a small local summer theater. My dream was to be on stage but I was only an usher!

My fav childhood memory would be the time we spend each summer at my grandparents. They lived on the lake. Bonfires at night, roasting marshmallows :)

My favorite summer time memory is our family reunion. The extended family got together at a lake in the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge (in Oklahoma) and between the food and the cousins it was the best time. I actually have a picture from one of those reunions that I intend to scrapbook "someday".
