Best Childhood Memory?

My best childhood memories would be my summer vacations on my grandparents' hometowns. We always have such happy times especially the time when I learned to ride a bike.

My Grandparents use to have me at their home without my siblings. Its was fun to have that much action to just me. I loved all the railroad cars and watching the trains go around the track. We would build them together.

I have one specific story that makes me smile up to this day. My friends in grade school discovered that a certain tree in school was a starapple tree, and it had plenty of fruits. There were many non-fruit-bearing trees all around school and nobody really paid attention to them, so finding the starapple one was a surprise. All day long we sang a song we invented which went "It's a secret! It's a secret" coupled with a dance we made for it. All the other kids in class did not know what we were so happy about. We stayed late, up until 5pm when almost every student in school had gone home. We befriended sa school janitor and he went up the tree. He picked the fruits and dropped them to us, who were waiting at the foot of the tree. We caught the fruits with our skirts (school girls here wear long, pleated skirts.) It was such a fun day which ended with us eating starapples and taking home a lot of the fruits. I remember the very good feeling of that day and I would like to have another day as fun as that.

Here is one I never will forget, and when I tell my relatives about it, they all smile. We had an orchard behind our house, and there were many different fruit trees. My uncle kept telling me that I get so excited when I see the fruits on the ground, and that I would run around from tree to tree picking them and eating.

Hi Andrew, Mine is when my aunt used to take me on vacation with her to an old farm house turned into a resort called Pleasant View Farm. There were lots of farm animals across the street and up the hill on the same road. It had a large hay field in the back of it. Often the farm machinery would turn the hay into bales while we were there. It was fun to watch that. There was a large barn there that they had turned into a game room on the first floor of it. There were billiard tables, a ping pong and card table, shuffle board games, etc. Lots of fun for children and adults. There was also a large lake nearby where we went swimming and hiking. At night we went to a place called The Old Mill Stream which served food. Their specialty was ice cream desserts. There was a stream out back that was beautiful to watch in the moonlight. It was also near a small downtown with a few stores and a movie theatre. There was a gift shop that I liked to go to and browse around it. I always sent lots of postcards back home from there. It's a really pleasant childhood memory.

I have lots of best childhood memories...like when my father brought us to circus and amusement parks with lots of balloons and candies and ice cream!!
