Remembering the past challenge

I am challenging every one to post a memory from the past about a time you spent with not only your family but your MOM... Something you will remember for ever! i had a hard time thinking of just one good memory.

I remember back when us kids were little, mom would pack us in the car and we would head to subway... Mom would order a huge sandwhich that had lots of things on it. Yuummm. We then would all pack in to the white convertable car and head up the canyon. All the boys usually sat in the back, and i got to sit in the front with mom. Mom would have the top down and we would jam ou to the music. Usaully Indian music or Roxette(by the way i still listen to Roxette). It seemed like we would go around the twists and bends super fast(heck we were kids we thought we were driving way fast) and one of my brothers hated it. it was like you would hit one of the turns and you look over the edge of the road and was like you were going to fall over... We would end up stopped at a little meadow in the canyon, and eat our lunch and we would play for awhile. This one time we stopped at this meadow and there was this pond i remember we sat under a tree to eat and out in the middle of the pond was a moose. it was so awesome. when we were done we would head back down the canyon and head home, hoping for another adventure to come with mom. Mom took us for rides all the time it was so much fun and i will always remember the times we all spent together in the past. Mom always tried to make things fun for us kids, instead of spending tonz of money that she didnt have we would do simple things like go for rides and adventures... I am very grateful to my mom for everything she has done for us kids. We went through some rough times in our lives but mom was always by our sides to her best ability. Thank you mom for everything and i love you... I will def. be writing more about our child hood memories, there is more to come.

What a great challenge. I will do this. Not tonight. But soon. :)

I have lots of memories of your mom too. I remember driving probably that same canyon except we wrecked! I wish my memory was your memory. ;)

I remember spending hours and hours at your house just playing with you guys and having family dinners together. I remember our moms laying out to suntan. I was just telling my friend about that and how now I'm the same age they were then. Where does the time go?
