My favorite childhood memory is playing with friends after dinner - all the neighborhood kids would gather for tag, or any other silly, crazy game we could come up with and play until after dark - or our parents would call for us to come home!!! Remember those days?!

My fave summer memories involve me and my sister having swim races in our parents' pool. We really had a blast swimming every summer.

My favorite childhood summertime memory has to be just laying in the sun and reading. I would just devour books all summer long, only breaking when I couldn't stand the heat any longer and had to go jump in the pool to cool off.

My favorite summertime memory is taking my twins to the beach for the first time - one loved it - the other, not so much! Now they swim like fishes for hours. Thanks fr the chance to win this such little package!

My favorite summer time memory..this is going to sound weird. I have been volunteering, working, or/and in school every summer since 1995 until this year (and actually, i'm working on getting a job for the summer). Anyway, my favorite memory is last year when I started Ohio State. It was a long process and I love going to school in the summer when the teachers are more laid-back, the weather is nice, the class sizes are smaller, etc. :)

My favorite childhood memory is playing outside with the neighbors. We were out all day and all night, riding bikes, going through the sprinkler and eating ice cream with my friends dog Blue.

My sisters and I used to place a little swimming pool right at the end of our slide and then we had the biggest fun sliding down and splashing as much water as possible. Too bad, my parents didn´t take any pictures.

I love those summer tags !! One of my favorite memories is renting a cottage at Sisters Lake , Michigan. A lot of the families from my neighborhood woudl also do it so you woudl always have someone to play with !!!! A lot of summertime memories for me come from those summers.

As a kid I loved going to a place we called the Blue Hole. I was a tiny natural lake created from a creek. Cold water! I wish I could go back now.

My favorite childhood memory is made up of the many summer evenings my friends and I spent catching lightening bugs in the peach orchard behind our house. I remember my parents telling us that the electric company was giving a reward to the people that caught the most lightening bugs as it could save everyone money as they could use the lightening bugs to provide light. Wow, looking back I think how clever my parents were to keep us occupied for hours while they could enjoy the neighbors' company without children underfoot! Ahh...those were the days!

Favorite childhood memory was spending the summer out at my Grandparents Dairy farm in Southern Alberta. No place like it in the world.

My favorite childhood memory is of camping with my cousins. The adults spent the day sitting and sharing stories while all of us spent the day playing in the river catching crayfish, inner tubing and swimming. One really hot day the adults joined us for inner tubing and we had a blast. It was so hot the river was filled with water snakes trying to cool off too. There isn't a reunion where we don't all talk about inner tubing with the water snakes.

one of my favorite summer memories is playing 'ghost in the graveyard' with all the kids in the neighborhood - yes, it was pitch black outside, considering we lived in a new development with no street lights and YES, there were head on collisions as we chased and ran away from each other! But boy, was it ever fun!

Getting to stay up late in the summer holidays when there was no school the next day.

The highlight in the small Kansas town I grew up in was always the church picnic. Ferris wheel, tractor ride, bingo, silly games, good wholesome fun.

My favorite summertime childhood memory was seeing my mom watch me while in summer swim lessons, her greeting me, and us driving home while I ate cheez-its.
So now whenever I smell pool chlorine - I now think of Cheez-Its!

My favorite summer memory is when my dad would take me fishing. He said I caught my 1st fish, and ran across the parking lot with the fish still on the rod!

My favorite childhood summer time memory is when I was 7 and just learned to ride a bike. (little late I know)I got to explore the neighborhood at a new perspective and speed. My friends and I discovered a candy store in the neighborhood that summer. More like a mini, generic 7/11 store. They had penny and nickle candy, so to us it was a candy store. We made it our biking destination. I would get the candy coke bottles, tootsie rolls,and bazooka gum. We thought we had hit the mother load. Wish there was a shop like that in our neighborhood now. What a joy it would be to share that with my little guys today.
12 Layouts...? I would have to start with me and my mother on one. One of my journey with Christ. Mine and my husbands story on another. One for me and each of my kids together- would equal 6 more layouts. So that is 9. My future hopes for our family would be another layout. Then a "Thank you for your contribution" layout that would probably need to be 2 layouts. This would be for all those who have invested in my or our families lives. That is 12! These would some up alot, if not most of my life up to this point.
Huh, thanks for getting me thinking about this. I am going to copy this and use it now!!

My favorite summertime memory is having firework sparklers at my birthday party and seeing the smiles on mine and the other children's faces.

Oh, my favorite memory of summer is absolutely all the time I spent at the public pool near our house. My brother and I LIVED there in the summers when I was a kid. So much fun doing handstands, playing tag, eating Chick-o-sticks, laying on our warm towels!

wow! what gorgeous giveaways! my favorite childhood summer memory is our two family vacations- one to my grandparents' house on the coast of Maine and the other is our family reunion every year at my uncle's beach house in long island. so many great memories, and who doesn't love the ocean/beach in the summer? :)

I remember catching fireflies in the park across the street from my apartment. We would remove their lights (cruel, I know) and wear them as jewelry.

My favourite memory is running under the sprinkler for hours and hours in our backyard and laughing and having so much fun with my sister.

No doubt about it, it's the summer my Dad took my little brother an I on a 2 week road trip. We drove ACROSS Texas, we went White water rafting down the Rio Grande, and visited Carlsbad Caverns (so cool!). We drove to Santa Fe, New Mexico and saw so much culture as they were having some festival going on. Then we went to see the white sands "desert" and sled-ed (sp?) down the big hills of white sand. We camped in Colorao (gorgeous!), then went to do the same at the Grand Canyon. We even saw the 4 corners (so cool for us kids!). Best trip of my life no doubt. But mostly b/c of the memories w/my Dad and brother. So fun... *sigh*

I used to love playing in the creek and hiking through the woods behind our home when I was a kid. We'd build forts out of abandoned railroad ties and get lost in our make believe world for the day. If all the neighbor kids were out, we'd play kick the can and hide in places like the top of the shed or behind the treehouse.
