My brother and I had many adventures there. Exploring the attic and unearthing lots of hidden treasures and going into the dark and creepy basement. Best of all summer meant sugar sweet corn on the cob and fresh tomatoes purchased at the nearest roadside farm stand.Allenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336773304078851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413367439833185462.post-86413145444562217672011-07-25T14:41:28.475-05:002011-07-25T14:41:28.475-05:00When my sons were younger we were still financiall...When my sons were younger we were still financially insecure. It was hot and we had no a/c in the farmhouse we were remodeling. I would take the boys to the local creek/park where we would spend the day on adventures. We hunted for crayfish, mined for gems/gold, built dams and channels, raced leaf boats, built rock castles and picnicked on the shore. Recently on a family vacation in the mountains, the guys (all grown and in college) went to the creek behind the cabin and raced leaf boats. I am glad to know that those days built happy memories for them as well as me.Sue Tokashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369068667462573850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413367439833185462.post-56782421188131158292011-07-25T12:57:24.517-05:002011-07-25T12:57:24.517-05:00one of my favorite summer memories involved one of...one of my favorite summer memories involved one of my favorite pastimes....reading !

We would play all day until the sun started going down and then plan it again for the next day. Great times with great friends, we still talk about it today, 30 years later!kayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11491219068541736988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413367439833185462.post-60770748994347555872011-07-24T11:12:14.311-05:002011-07-24T11:12:14.311-05:00My fav summer memories are getting out of school a...My fav summer memories are getting out of school and having the entire summer of fun with the farm and 4-H and not knowing how good we really had it!!rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989573943180550552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413367439833185462.post-37725801399831874732011-07-23T22:28:41.725-05:002011-07-23T22:28:41.725-05:00Summer memories...how do you choose just one? goin...Summer memories...how do you choose just one? going to grandpa and grandma's farm, the week at the cousin's riding horses, county fair, eating raspberries fresh from the garden, selling sweet corn from our garden as a kid, riding my bike to the pool, first summer as a mom, watching the kids in the wading pool, taking the kids camping at state parks, being a grandma for the first time...I just love summer for all of it...and all it's memories...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413367439833185462.post-31223675771765003512011-07-23T22:22:09.827-05:002011-07-23T22:22:09.827-05:00my favorite summertime memory is having a "th...my favorite summertime memory is having a "theater" in our backyard, hoping to get rich by charging 5 cent admission.

I lived in Florida as a child, but my mom hated the beach so we rarely went.My husbands family went to the shore for their vacation every year. Our first vacation there together was heaven! I fell in love with the boardwalk, the seagulls, the smells of the ocean and the food on the boardwalk. There was a whole different atmosphere than in Florida. That was 45 years ago and I still remember that first vacation. We have made that trip every year since then and I now have memories of our children and grandchildren enjoying our summer vacations there. I still love everything about the shore. I have a lot of such sweet memories.<br />Thanks,<br />Wandaoldecrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829910040231866567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413367439833185462.post-19147787555308791952011-07-23T17:01:12.141-05:002011-07-23T17:01:12.141-05:00My favorite summer memory is going to the drive-in...My favorite summer memory is going to the drive-in movies with another family. Our parents would park with an empty spot between the cars. They would spread blankets in the empty spot and get out the fried chicken, potato salad and watermelon etc. for supper. If the movie was something we didn't like there was always the play ground toys under the big screen for us to play on.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435455247267968395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413367439833185462.post-44246141051093827302011-07-23T16:35:02.758-05:002011-07-23T16:35:02.758-05:00I lived in the country and had a mini-bike when I ...I lived in the country and had a mini-bike when I was a kid.

Then we would get up super early and play the player piano. I still know the words to all of those songs - and now have that player piano at my house. Grandma liked to play Rack-O with us - lots of awesome memories at their house.

My favorite is when my grandmother was still alive and I spent the summers with her in Amagansett. She was a rug hooker, sewer and had a ceramic studio, so I guess I got my love of crafts from her. In the summers they always had a church fair and I loved the fishing pole game, we always got to win something. I had a lot of family there, so always something fun to do, though I really hated lobster as a child and my uncle always bought some home and we had to eat it, lol.<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413367439833185462.post-89258312382386005292011-07-23T15:06:07.006-05:002011-07-23T15:06:07.006-05:00My favorite summer memories are hanging out at the...My favorite summer memories are hanging out at the beach at our local state park with my hubby & 2 boys.

My parents owned a small farm, 160 acres, but my Dad was not a farmer, we rented out the fields for crops. My sister (4 years younger than me) and I would spend hours wandering the pastures that weren't used any more. We loved to pick tiny wild strawberries, they were no bigger than our pinky fingernail. These were ripe soon after school was out. Right before school started back up we'd pick wild blackberries - YUM! We'd love to wade in the creek and eat mint leaves that were growing by the sides of the creek bed. Another favorite stop was the spring house. All our water came from a natural spring where a pump house was built. There we had a "pet" salamander who was always doing push-ups on the concrete slab! Those were wonderful days. ~AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546132613947684807noreply@blogger.com
