I have so many happy childhood memories, I've forgotten more than I remember, but staying with one set of grandparents was the best!
I was always boss, and of course got spoiled rotten.
However, with that said, I remember the many sleepovers we girls did, under the stars in the backyards of neighbourhood friends places, in the likes of tent trailers and tents, what fun that was!
But wait, there's more... summertime and wintertime never fails to bring back happy childhood memories for me. The end of June meant school was out for summer, and I still remember those days well! With the arrival of summer each year, I can still smell that summery scent in the air, the same scent that I smelled as a kid, there was excitement in the air, a buzz of happiness like no other, cleaning out ones school desk and dashing home as fast as you could to start enjoying a summer all to yourself!
Then came Christmas holidays, where the schools would shutdown for a week and a bit. It was always snowy and cold, there was a build-up and lead-up to the last day of school before the holidays, watching the clock on the wall hour-after-hour in anticipation of hearing that school bell go off, then bundling up and darting out of the school doors for home as fast as we could. Christmas holidays, yay!
Too... I also remember how excited I'd get over the birth of baby siblings. As newborn as they were, mom would load them into the baby carriage and me being the big sister would take them out for carriage and stroller rides, showing them off to neighbours in passing.
Gosh, happy memory after happy memory.
