  1. I think the best summer I ever had was in 1982 when my parents and sisters and my cousin loaded up into the van and drove all over the country. It was the best trip ever.

  5. Summers down the shore at my grandparents' house when I was a kid - working in the garden with my grandfather, canning tomatoes in the kitchen with my grandmother, crabbing on the dock with my siblings and cousins, building sandcastles on the beach and playing in the ocean, walking along the boardwalk.

    Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!

  8. WIth a birthday in July, I'm loaded with wonderful summer memories, but my top one would have to be receiving tickets to the 1884 Olypics in Los Angeles, and seeing our US Men's Gymnastic team take the gold medal. It's the only time I've been to the Olympics, but I hope to make it again some day, hopefully somewhere overseas. I love just about every shad of blue there is, so this bundle is amzing for me. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway, and for causing me to bring that memory out of mothballs. I think I'll head over to you-tube and see if there are any videos - who knows I might even spot myself, if I could remember what I was wearing that day.

  115. I'm lucky enough to have my favorite summer memory recur every year as I float in my inner tube on Lake Skatutakee in Harrisville NH, which I have done every year since I was born. It's kind of weird to now be the mom rather than the kid on the tube, but my husband keeps it real by teaching our daughters how to run and jump of the dock for an inner tube splashdown to create what he calls "the slight spanking sensation". I just try to stay out of the way. Anyway, I would so love to win these fabrics and I promise to make some thing really pretty out of them, maybe even at the lake.

  161. ♥ My favorite summer memory was when I was a teenager and I took long road trips to North Dakota with my grandparents. The only time my grandpa wore a seatbelt was when I drove! ♥

  162. Ooh I have tons of fun summer memories-it's hard to narrow them down. For everyday stuff, one of my favorite memories is climbing trees with a bag with an apple and a book in it, and sitting up there reading and munching on that apple. For more special stuff, I remember going to the San Diego Zoo, and building sandcastles on the beach (and hunting for shells!)

  171. My favorite summer memories are the ones I'm making now with my family. I had a wonderful childhood, but my favorite memories will always be taking my children on summer vacation to someplace new every year, even if it's just a "small" trip. I love their excitement and anticipation.

  175. I would go to my grandma's for a couple of months and it would be awesome. I would get to play with my cousins and in your forest acres. It was something I'll never forget.

  183. My favorite summer memory is swimming with my sister in my grandfather's pool. He took immense pride in his sparkling blue pool and we had so much fun splashing around with our various floats and doing crazy jumps off the diving board. Thanks for asking; remembering this is making me smile.

  186. I think my favorite summer memory is the beach many years ago. Doing nothing with friends, reading amazing novels, trying to fall in love (I was all of 13).

  190. My favorite summer memory is when my father would call us to come up to the house and we would eat watermelon outside - spit the seeds out and wash down with the hose. All the mess that kids get into without any hassle by the parents and with lots of laughter and love.

  191. I guess my favorite summer memories are two trips of long ago- one to Europe and the other to Mexico. Having said that I have many fond memories of times spent with my parents and grandparents just being together. I am a teacher so summers are a different pace than the winter time. It is a great time to see old friends and to take the time to smell the roses so to speak.
    Thanks for participating in the blog hop.

  192. My mother and I spent a week road tripping from San Francisco down to the Santa Barbara area two summers ago, visiting the shore and the missions and so on in between. It was such a beautiful and enjoyable trip-- hands down favorite summer memory.

  193. We used to sail as a family. Ne year, we were gone for four weeks and sailed from port to port from just outside NYC, north to Maine and back again. Rainy damp days playing board games, lots of imagination going on - without tv, etc and 4 of us trapped in 35 feet, we had LOTS of opportunities to make memories :-)
