As I get older I stop and look back at all the childhood memories I have and also remember. Since we all lived by each other all of us cousins would get together on the hillside and play and just spend time together.
There was a lot of things we done while we were growing up. There were times we would go and build many playhouses in the woods including teepees.
Our parents always taught us no playing in the house so therefore that left us no choice but to stay outside.
When we built out playhouses we couldn’t be satisfied where we wanted them, so I bet you there wasn’t a spot on the hillside that we didn’t build on. We would always get daddy to either mow or weeded our spots for out houses. Either way we always had fun.
I remember we would act like we owned a restaurant by shoveling up mud-pies as our food and getting jars of water for our drinks. We would get rocks and act like they were our steaks and hamburgers. Whatever we used we always had some kind of food at our restaurant. Now that I work at one I realize it’s a lot harder than just shoveling up mud.
We would always ride out bicycles up and down the hillside. We knew they were just our bicycles but we pretended we were policeman, taxi cab drivers and so much more. Also we pretended that they were our cars. Needless to say we stayed busy doing something even though we were out for the summer. Something was always to be done on the hillside.
Now that we are older we have our own lives and we can have a chance to grow up and have children and teach them how to be hard little workers and playful children.
Also now that I am married and got my own life it isn’t as easy as it was back in those childhood days. I really enjoy married life and would go back to being a child for nothing.
Childhood memories are so dear to everyone’s family. When you stop and think back at all the times you and your family have shared it can really put a smile on your face.
In closing just remember to cherish every moment with your family cause time flies when your having fun.
