My favorite childhood summer memory was going to the beach with my parents and sisters and having a wonderful lunch on the sand after a swim in the Pacific.

Ohhhh, definitely those picnics at the lake! My Aunts & Uncles would come out, we would have traditional picnic baskets full of food, and the lake near our hometown was right there .. ready for cool splashing & swimming! Fabulous memories!

Love this sneak peek! I just love baby things!
My childhood memory of summer would have to be getting together with my family and cousins. Go fishing, camping, and just enjoying the outdoors. Thanks

My favorite summer childhood memory was spending our vacation at my grandmother’s farm–all the animals and her wonderful baking/cooking and spending time with my cousins too.

My childhood summers were spent joyfully visiting with my grandparents. She helped me to develop my creative crafty side. I have many fond memories of the extra time and love she shared when me teaching me how to knit!

Family reunions. Gunny-sack races, picnics.

Mary R. | June 30, 2009 at 4:24 am
My favorite childhood memory is all the neighborhood kids walking to the creek in our cutoff jeans to swim. The walking and talking was nearly as much fun as the swimming!

Taheerah | June 30, 2009 at 4:57 am
I think it’s got to be going to the park and just spending ages on the swings. I still do it now when I can!

Fondest childhood memory is the family baseball game…the 4 of us would play in the vacant lot next door, at least 1 time each summer…like a tradition…my Dad and I would always whoop my Mom and younger brother!

Cindy Cook | June 30, 2009 at 6:09 am
Going to the pool nearly every day!
13.
Trina Kuriger | June 30, 2009 at 6:31 am
Family vacations, definately. My Mom, brother and I would all pile into the car and Dad would drive us all over the US. It was always an adventure!
14.
Billie Dee | June 30, 2009 at 6:46 am
Going to our swim club every day is my fondest memory. We didn’t have neighborhood pools back then … We’d go early in the morning with Dad and then Mom would join us in the afternoon.
15.
Alexandra | June 30, 2009 at 7:40 am
going fishing with my Dad is easily my favorite!
16.
Pat | June 30, 2009 at 7:46 am
Those special trips to Hershey Park. My parents wouldn”t tell us where we were going until we were there. What s surprise.
17.
Darsana | June 30, 2009 at 7:59 am
I remember staying out WAY past dark with my cousins from Texas and playing on the swingset in the backyard. I couldn’t believe that we were up so late and not being called inside! It must have been 10:00 or better.
18.
Sue Clarke | June 30, 2009 at 8:35 am
Going to North Conway with my parents for one week each summer. My other and I would sit out on the porch for weeks prior to leaving just planning what outfits to bring.

Teddie Meier | June 30, 2009 at 8:35 am
My favorite memory is sleeping out on the back porch.

Tessa Alanis | June 30, 2009 at 9:27 am
My favorite childhood memory was when my dad took us “crawdadying”. It was so fun to catch them with liver on sticks.
22.
Michelle A. | June 30, 2009 at 9:42 am
My favorite childhood summer memory is spending the entire summer at my Grandmother’s beach house… the land of sun & fun!
23.
Lynne | June 30, 2009 at 9:42 am
Staying at the lake with Grandma. If you caught and cleaned the fish, she would cook them and she had a wonderful garden and raspberry bushes.
24.
Susan B | June 30, 2009 at 10:11 am
My favorite memory is driving up to Lake Erie in the summer to spend the day at the beach with my parents, brother and sister. We always stopped at a little diner for our breakfast going there, packed a picnic lunch and then stopped again at the diner on the way home for dinner. Things were so simple back then.
25.
Debra V. | June 30, 2009 at 10:11 am
Going to the beach with my family for a week each summer-hunting shells, fishing, swimming, eating shrimp fresh from the sea.
26.
Jessica | June 30, 2009 at 10:30 am
I used to love to go swimming and tubing on the lake with my dad on his boat.
27.
Lenore V. | June 30, 2009 at 11:09 am
My favorite childhood summertime memory, was with my grandma “ging” out on her back patio. I would play in the pool, while she looked like a 50′s pinup girl and tanned. I would try and copy her by putting on sun tan lotion and big glasses! I miss those days!
28.
Candace | June 30, 2009 at 11:09 am
Looking back I’d have to say it would be the time my family got together and had a picnic behind my grandparent’s house. We had crabs and watermelon, and the kids went down by the river to chase the hermit crabs.
Lazy long days spent surrounded by love.

helen scott | June 30, 2009 at 11:10 am
My fav childhood summer memory has to be the first time my parents let me go to the pool by myself on holiday, I think i must have been ten or eleven.
The pool was only about 12 yards away from the apartment door, and my parents joined my with my two little sisters minutes later. I felt so grown up, proud and happy to be trusted.
Hope I can let my boys enjoy that teeny bit of freedom and trust when they are old enough.

gina | June 30, 2009 at 11:20 am
It was riding my bike to my friends house, we would ride our bikes all over the place.
31.
Lynn | June 30, 2009 at 11:25 am
I lived on a cul de sac in California, and all of us kids from the cul de sac would write and perform a 4th of July play for the parents. Sometimes it would be serious (the signing of the Declaration of Independence) or it would be silly (a puppet show called Dinky the Duck with a toilet cap as a prop). Those were such fun. Then we would have a BBQ and pool together the fireworks and have a show. Every year the pinwheel would fly off the tree it was nailed to and sail into the cul de sac. It was a blast!
32.
Jackie Kuriger | June 30, 2009 at 11:25 am
My favorite memory as a child was going to the gulf coast to go crabbing with my family.
33.
Brandi | June 30, 2009 at 11:55 am
It would have to be after going to church, getting some take out and heading up to the mountains with my family. Colorado has some great little day get aways.
34.
Gina Wrona | June 30, 2009 at 1:11 pm
I’d have to say staying at Grandma’s house in SCS w/her built in swimming pool, playing cards, & her delicious home cookin’.
35.
Jane Harrah | June 30, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I seem to be on a theme here, but really it was cooking out. Hot dogs on the grill? Nothing better. Even now, my favorite meal.
36.
Nancy DeGilormo | June 30, 2009 at 1:58 pm
My favorite memory was VBS at our little church in the town we had our summer cottage at the lake. Kool aid tasted so good there!!!! I would sing all those songs all summer long and drive my siblings crazy. To this day 40+ years later I can still “smell and taste” that ice cold kool aid. Grape was my favorite flavor!!

Kerry from PA | June 30, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Between 6th and 7th grade my family took a 6 week tour of the midwest, pulling our little pop-up camper around behind our old chevy station wagon. There were lots of “icky” memories (hitting the deer, the camper leaking when it rained, the AC in the car only working on low) but there were lots of good memories too – - it was quite a fabulous experience.

Linda C. | June 30, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Sitting on the floor of my Grandparents’ home eating homegrown tomatoes while watching tv! I could eat til my hearts desire! Of course Grandma was canning in the kitchen.

Pat | June 30, 2009 at 4:35 pm
My favorite summer memory is going to my Grandmother’s.
We always had the best time doing everything together.
41.
Lavonne | June 30, 2009 at 4:36 pm
My favorite childhood memory was tubing down the river. It was sooo cold but really refreshing too. We’d spend hours in the water.
42.
Mary B | June 30, 2009 at 5:17 pm
I grew up outside of the US, so in the summers we would come home to visit and stay with grandparents. Two of my aunts were very creative and crafty, and I loved watching and helping them.
43.
Beth Mak | June 30, 2009 at 6:24 pm
We had a neighborhood full of kids. I remember playing baseball until dark in an empty field behind some of the houses. Lots of kids ranging from 5 up, enough to make to teams.
44.
Diane G | June 30, 2009 at 7:51 pm
My dad taking us out in his flat-bottom boat for a ride, then going to the local drive-in for ice cream. YUM-YUM!
45.
Emilia | June 30, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Beautiful baby set!!!!
My favorite childhood memory is when, at the end of the school, I could go to the park and stay on the swing for hours, play all day with other children in front of my granfather’s restaurant, and eat ice-cream every day!!!!!!!
46.
sandyh | June 30, 2009 at 9:02 pm
we lived a block away from the schoolyard playground. twice a week in the summer, we would have arts and crafts at the playground…..making potholders, popsicle stick boxes, lanyards, etc! what fun that was!

Visiting my Grandmother in Missouri, catching fire flies, swinging on her front porch swing and sleeping in her feathr bed! FUN-FUN-FUN! I think about it now and it is right up there next to stamping with Kitchen Sick!

Riding my bike to the swimming pool and spending the day there. Now I prefer to not go swimming at all.
thanks much
49.
MelissaR | July 1, 2009 at 7:46 pm
My favorite memory is going on a different “expedition” every weekend with my mom, and sometimes dad. We would explore different state parks, sites, or just get in the car and drive some way we hadn’t gone before!
50.
Sheryl Moran | July 1, 2009 at 8:07 pm
My favorite memory is going to California to see my dad every summer. My dad always signed up in the Dodgers fan club. I was always decked out in Dodger clothing!!
51.
Carol L | July 2, 2009 at 5:09 am
My dad worked for a company that gave their employees & families a free outing every summer at a local amusement park and we always looked forward to that! Roller coaster & amusment rides, picnic food, candy apples, family, friends and pure fun! AHhhh, I so miss those good times now!
I can hardly wait to see the new releases! I’m excited:)
52.
Anita Champagne | July 2, 2009 at 8:00 am
Oh my, I just found this…WOW, how exciting does this look…my favorite childhood summer memory has to be going to my grandparents…climbing in trees, eating halfed sandwiches while sitting on the steps leading into the house, eating peeled apples, fresh peaches and watermellon…just being kids. Memories…aren’t they so refreshing…the good ‘ole days!!
53.
Meredith | July 2, 2009 at 8:28 am
We used to live in a small town in Massachusetts. Every July 4th we’d go to the town lake for fireworks and go enjoy Greek pizza at thelittle restaraunt in the center of town afterwards. Such good memories. Thanks for the chance to win!
54.
Bethany Paull | July 2, 2009 at 8:52 am
Setting up the tent in our backyard for “camping”.
55.
Shirley | July 2, 2009 at 4:55 pm
My favorite summer childhood memory was going on Sunday drives with my parents – we never knew where we would end up, but it was always fun
56.
Liz Williams | July 2, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Going to church camp every summer was always the big highlight of the summer for me. Making new friends was always fun!!!
57.
Nelda Deakins | July 2, 2009 at 7:14 pm
Going to Beech Lake with my Dad & Mom! Wonderful!
58.
Lori Garrison | July 3, 2009 at 11:18 pm
As a young child, i think it was just playing outside & running through sprinklers with friends. As a teen it was hanging out with NO SCHOOL! Sleepovers, sleeping in, going to the pool & trying to be ‘cool’! LOL!
59.
Sigrid | July 5, 2009 at 5:59 am
Visiting my uncle and aunt in Munich Germany. My brother and I looked forward to that every year.
60.
Sheryl Dickinson | July 5, 2009 at 5:34 pm
My favorite childhood summer memory is going to Idaho and visiting my grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. It was such a different life than we had in the city–loved it!
61.
Janice Webb | July 5, 2009 at 6:55 pm
My girlfriend and I sneaked away to play in a nearby stream instead of picking strawberries (to earn money). The day was extremely hot and it just seemed that goofing off was a better choice on how to spend our afternoon. What a wonderful cherished memory—we had so much fun and it felt so good to be splashing around in the water without a care in the world.

Catching fireflies was almost magical to me when I was a child.
