My favorite summer memory is picking fruit and vegetables from our garden then after dinner we would go outside and eat the watermelon or cantelope that we picked. Now that my parents are gone, we don’t do that anymore. I have yet to find a way to get anyting to grow in my yard because it floods several times a year. You don’t know how much fun it really was until its gone.

When I was in high school, I had a flat chest. Ugh. I felt like a little girl and the guys didn’t see me. The summer between my junior and senior year, for some reason, my body decided to play catch up. They ached and hurt but I grew 2 cup sizes in 3 months. When I went back to school for the first day of my senior year, WOW! All the guys were doing double takes! I finally felt like I belonged and I enjoyed watching all the guys make fools of themselves cranking their necks around looking at me. It made me laugh and it set the stage for a hilarious and fun senior year telling all the guys no!
, What I wouldn’t give for a flat chest now!
Now they just hang low.
My favorite summer memory was when I was 8 and I spent the summer at the beach with my sister and our Grand parents.It felt like the whole summer but it was only a week.

My favorite summer activity was taking our 2 year old and 1 year old to the community pool. They have water slides, buckets that drop water, squirt guns, a lazy river, pretty much just water flying everywhere. It was priceless to see them playing…so much fun! Everyday is a new memory with them!

and my favourite summer memories? wow. i don’t think i can choose just one. i loved the odd trips we went on, shopping for back to school supplies, and spending all day in the pool. the last day of the schoolyear was always so sad for me, i kept hoping for year-round-school schedules. we never needed more than a 2 week break from classes! any more than that and you just get lazy and forget things. i’ve always been strange.

A favorite summer memory is camping on East Beach in Galveston. We had a van and would pile in our three girls, stop at Krogers (of course!) to pick up hot dogs, charcoal, soda etc and head down to Galveston. We camped down there. The girls had a tent while we slept in the van. Spent many weekends falling asleep & waking up to the sound of the surf & the gulls calling. Bliss!

Favorite summer memory… staying at the pool without my parents during the day and playing ALL day!!!
My favorite summer memory is watching my mother get all the garden vegetables and fruit ready for freezing and canning.

My favorite Summer memories revolve around spending time at my Grandmother’s farm. She taught me how to cook using fresh veggies and how to can and freeze produce. She taught me how to pet (yes, pet) honey bees and catch lightening bugs. She also taught me to always bring the salt shaker out to the garden, because you never knew when a watermelon might “accidentally” bust, or when a tomato might be so ripe that it “needed eatin’ right away!”
My favorite summer memory was camping with my parents and sister and brother. We went to a place in Canada one summer and everyone was catching fish but me. So my dad told everyone to pull in their reels but me and see if I could get a fish. Finally one bit the bait and I was so excited that I almost baptized us in the lake !!!
Thanks for the giveaway. My favorite childhood memory from the summer is going bike riding all day and not coming home at all except to check in and then for supper.
My favorite summer memories are all wrapped up with my grandparents. I spent a lot of time with them every summer, helping my Grandfather in his garden ( he wouldn’t let anyone help him but me) and then helping my Grandmother, who was crippled with arthritis, can and bake. She always told me she couldn’t do the things she did without my help. As a child, they made me feel I was the most important person in the world. As I have grown, I realize they were doing what grandparents do, make over your grandchildren, loving them and making them feel special. I thought that for so long. Now, I have 5 grandchildren of my own, and I am trying to pass along all those good feelings that my grandparents gave to me, to them. My husband and I have a garden and everytime I go out to work in the garden, I remember them and the wonderful time I had with my grandparents.
