Well, I don't know about best... I had a pretty sweet childhood, but one of my favorite things was camping.. every summer my family and my friend's family would go camping together by the ocean either at the Cape or in Maine. We'd cook griddlecakes for breakfast, have smores over the fire at night, we'd collect seashells, and go climbing over the rocks. One time us kids went clamming, created "clamming" songs to the tunes of the New Kids on the Block songs, and got ourselves so muddy and scraped up... we were stuck in the mud up to our knees (one of my friends was up to her thighs and we almost didn't make it out... We of course would go to the beach, go bicycling, hiking, and when we were older, our fathers bought a Hobie-Cat and we would go sailing, too. I looked forward to our camping trips every year... It was our real "vacation".. where we would just go away and have fun.
Something that I remember from when I was little that happened right around this time of the year - was the barn dance. There was a barn dance at an Audubon place in Sterling?, Mass. We would go every year with some friends of the family... there would be fiddle players, everyone would be doing square dances, line dances, swing your partner dances... older people who knew how to dance would teach us kids some of the dances and then we would take it away on the dance floor. When you got tired of dancing and wanted a break there was always hot mulled apple cider, homemade apple pie and other goodies awaiting you... and when it got too hot inside the barn, you could go outside into the crisp autumn air and stargaze while listening to the fiddles and the feet stomping until you were ready to go back in for more. They actually stopped having the barn dances quite a few years ago, though I'm not sure why, but it was so much fun... everyone who went was there for a good time and was friendly and just enjoying the night..

Mine would be the year we had Christmas and everyone got a whole bunch of presents under the tree but me. I got like 1/4 of what everyone else got until............my mom made me go upstairs to get something from my room and I found this Victorian doll house all lit up and furnished as I entered my room. It was magical. Best Christmas ever.
I might add that I'm into miniatures now and soon will have my 54" dollhouse on display at the miniature fair.

My best memories of childhood would be when we went to visit my grandma in the south. We would play in the creek all day, eat watermelon, and spend time with my whole family! Grandma always kept the things that we liked on hand and let us run around like wild banshees! I miss her and those times alot!

I can't really say I have one. I had a terrible childhood that included violence and abuse by my father. I learned a lot from that though, and I am a stonger person for it today. I have made dramatic changes in my life to ensure that I do not continue this cycle and MY KIDS (when I have them) will have pleasant childhood memories.

My Mom used to take all the sheets in the house, move the furniture around and build tents inside the house on rainy days when I was a kid. I was very lucky because I had a GREAT childhood.

Taking long walks with cousins and friends in our neighborhood , picking berries from trees, playing tetherball , eating candy all day long and not gaining a pound, when my family would gather around and sing their favorite songs together, Thanksgivings, Christmas' , and when my Grandma would cook a big meal on Sundays' and everyone we knew would show up to eat with us... those were the days....

particular. i replaced into bullied in favourite college extra besides, yet that did no longer remember. existence looked as though it would develop into extra complicated and harder as I have been given older. i'm ok now, adulthood has its reward besides, yet i think of what I ignored approximately early existence replaced into no longer having to think of too a lot approximately issues and stuff, no longer having to make too many judgements, etc.

That I grew out of it. I had a horrible childhood and I am more than glad that I don't have to go threw that again.
