What's your favorite childhood memory?

My favorite memory of growing up in Detroit is when I first went to Tiger Stadium to see a baseball game. I got to see Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris (the year he hit 61) play - and stomp - my beloved Tigers. I remember going through the tunnels that lead from the street to the interior of the ball park. Then walking up the ramps to the proper section. Then walking out into the seating area and being greeted with this astonishing array of colors. There were the bright orange, reds and whites of the crowd, the bright green of the freshly manicured field and the colorful baseball uniforms of the tigs and yanks. Every time a Tiger got a hit the roar of the crowd was an ominous chord shaking the very rafters of the park. Then came the moment I had dreamed of. Rocky Colavito, the then Tiger left fielder hit a ball. It seemed to go a mile in the air and just hang there as the Yankee left fielder (Blanchard that day) went back, back, back, and the ball finally landed in the upper deck. It was the first of many homers I would see at the old ball park. A memory I will treasure as long as I live.

I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade, pedalling my banana seat pink huffy bike that I had just learned how to ride with no hands... and I remember coasting down the hill, with my hands in the air, breathing in the smell of Spring, laundry hanging on clotheslines, and fresh grass and thinking to myself "I'll never forget this moment... this HAS to be what life is all about"  It was the last day of school for the year... To this day, on those perfect spring days, refer to it like.. "Ahh, it smells like the last day of school"

Happiest.....long rides to the mountains to cook breakfast in the campgrounds. I can still smell the bacon frying and the coffee brewing (though we, my sisters and I had hot chocolate).  We would spend the day hiking and playing and then drive home that evening, but breakfast with the whole family in the mountains was the best!!  Saddest.....loosing both of my parents within six years of each other, I miss them terribly.

When I was around 2 I remember laying in my crib and someones dog got in the house. I was just laying there watching it. This was in a small village my family spent the summer in. They stopped going when I was 3 but I have a lot of memories of it like picking wild berries and mushrooms, dad taking me down the river in a boat, and grabbing a handfull of stinging neetle (I think thats what its called) lol. \n\nSpeaking of food memories. same place for me. I used to eat berries as i picked them. My grandmother made string "necklaces" of wild mushrooms and dry them in an earth cellar. I loved the smell there. To this day mushrooms are one of my favorite foods.

I remember bit and parts too. One thing that does stand out is this: We were living in a small town. I have 3 older sisters and 2 older brothers, basically I am the youngest of 6. Anyway. My oldest brother had to go down to Dairy Queen (probably about 1971) and was going to get us all ice cream cones. Well, as far as I was concerned he was taking too long, so I slipped away and went looking for him. I got all the way down to Dairy queen (5 block away) and he wasn't there-took a different way home-So I asked the guy behind the counter if my brother had been there and he said yes and that I just missed him. He must have noticed I was sad because he gave me a free vanilla ice cream cone. In the mean time everyone was looking for me. So I walked back home and when I got into my front yard everyone came running out happy that I was back and I dropped my ice cream cone on the lawn. I cried. My mom wiped my tears and she said that is ok honey, we have one in the freezer waiting for you. Happy ending.\n\nThis incident has always reminded me of a song called the "Ice cream cone song". Ask your parents or grandparents about it.

I remember that day like it was yesterday... I was seven (7) years old just entering the third (3rd) grade.        \n\nHer name was Miss. Handshell and she was my home room teacher.\n\nTo this day I can still close my eyes and vividly view those smooth long legs that goes on forever.\n\nGive me a moment plz, am all choked up.

Watching my kids bounce on the trampoline with their little cousins, seeing my oldest daughter assist my youngest niece and nephew finding eggs, seeing my son have a full basket, and carrying more in his shirt, my youngest daughters ponytails getting static from jumping so much that her pony's puffed out in the air.\n\nSeeing my brother and his family together, my sister and her family together, my parents, having great BBQ that I didn't have to cook.\n\nThen after returning home, seeing the Dogwood Hill and deciding to click off a whole roll of film of the different things I saw in appreciation of Spring.\n\nHaving my husband FINALLY home from work.... and now I get to have a beer and enjoy time with him!!WOO HOO.. Yay Me for having the best day!!

a book named "The Little China Pig" from my husband!  When I was 4my Grandmother bought it for me and I had it till I was 12 then my sister tore it up when she was mad at me! I was devastated! I looked for it most of my life - as I wanted to  buy a replacement and could never find it. I mentioned it years ago to my husband & Last year for Christmas my husband had found it on line, bought it & gave it to me! I was shocked that he had remembered! I am not sure why it meant so much to me to replace it - I just know that it was special to me and always has been and always will be! It is the greatest gift I will ever recieve because it truly is a gift from the heart! My husband gave me back a memory that was precious to me!
