Childhood happy experience that you can't forget about (house, best, celebrities)

[VillageLife]

When I was about 4 years old,I went to a birthday party,the game was to put all the shoes in a big bag,toss it in a bag and throw all the shoes out.The first to find their shoes would get a toy,I had a pair of red shoes,which was really to see,and I picked it up right away,I won a big doll. It pops to my mind once in a while.
Do you have a childhood experience that you always remember?

When I was little, my Mom used to come to our school, every once in a while, not all the time, and sign us out saying we had a doctors appt. and then take us to the beach. My Mom was the kind of person who cried like we did when summer was over because then she didn't get to spend as much time with us.

My whole childhood was awesome. But I do remember how my friends would stare at my mom all the time when she came to school and say how they wanted to look like her because she was beautiful and how my friends would tell me they wish my dad could be theirs because he "knew everything about everything. and was so much fun. That is a very special memory knowing what kind of parents I had, even when I was too young or "embarassed" to realize it.

Wow, I'm so glad to hear that there are people with good/happy childhoods! That's wonderful and gives me hope for my children.

I had one of those fear based ones...I guess I'll take the "I'm a survivor" motto instead of the "I had a happy childhood experience" motto.

Take care.

Ummm, my happy childhood was over 20 years ago (I'm a product of the 70's, grew up in the 70's/80's/early 90's) I have hope for my kids now too, but it's so different for them. My kids would be thrilled if I locked them in a room with a tv and nintendo ds or some crap. Of course, I make sure they're not happy......I spend time with them But it really is different now then it was, say from the 80's backwards into maybe the 50's. Even the 90's weren't as good.

When I played Little League baseball, my team won the state championship. Riding in my parent's car on the way back to my hometown after the game, we were proceeding in a line of about twenty cars and all of them started honking their horns when we entered our town as if we had just won the war. Still in uniform, we all waved like celebrities. We were heroes for that moment.

When i was a child my parents were like gypsies, my Dads job kept us on the road all the time, we never stayed in a town for more than a month and most of the time it was days or weeks, when i was 5 we lived in Cortez Colorado for a whole year, I had friends and enjoyed it more than any place we had ever been, it leaft a lasting impression on me so much that a few years ago we went there while on vacation, I'm pretty sure it hadn't changed much and there wasn't much there but it's still my best memmory.

Tweetsie Railroad outside Blowing Rock NC - It was winter, no snow that I could recall in the great Piedmont of NC. My dad came home from the fire department early with his buddies 4 wheel drive jeep. Mom, dad, sis and me all jumped in, headed 2 hours north to Tweetsie Railroad. It was closed, it didn't matter, there was snow EVERYWHERE! Snow angels, snow ball fights, the whole family together, having fun without planning anything. Those were the good ole days, probably around 1976 or 1977, before boys, TV and friends took you away from the things that, 30 years late,r suddenly mean the world to you again!
