when you were a kid. Did they read to you, play board games? What? My mom had an acoustic guitar. She would sit us down before bed and play the guitar while she sang songs to us.

Camping and fishing. We went camping and fishing every weekend. My father would come home on Friday evenings and we would be all packed and ready to go. As soon as he came home he ate supper while we loaded the car. And off we went, to the lake to camp out and we had a boat to go fishing in. This was our favourite family pass time. We did this from as young as 2 months old till I was 17 years old and left home. I still go camping and fishing but now I go with my family.

I remember when we, I and my sis, were born, waiting for a bus, or smth, we would play a game to train our memory. Mom would say two things and we would repeat, than she would add one more and so on) This is quite entertaining and is practising your memory too)

My childhood was so great - we had horses and motorcycles and lived in old large farmhouses. We weren't rich by no means, but both my folks worked so I guess we had a few extras. We'd ride motorcycles together in the pastures, and sometimes the folks would build these little ramps and we'd jump them on our motorcycles. We'd take the dune buggy out in the fields after harvest, with a big garbage can tied to the back wheel wells. Us kids would pick up all the leftover ears of corn and throw them in the can while our father drove. We'd use the corn to give to the horses. To us kids, that was fun fun fun!

I never had much of a family, but when my parents were together, we used to go boating, and to the beach a lot. It was very fun.

I think my fondest and most memorable experience was when we all sat down as a family to sew. Although I have never mastered this it was a project that we all did as one. I am the only left handed person in my family so I can't sew still yet to this day and they tried several times. We always like doing craft projects like that. My favorite is the plastic canvas and cross stitching. Haven't done either one in so long I might have to go out and buy something small to start all over.
