4. What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special?
This is a hard question to answer. I had a happy childhood all around. I have to choose an event that occurred more than once.
My happiest memories are boating with my entire family. There is just something so fun about packing up a lunch and spending the day at the river. I loved every part of it. I loved tubing behind the boat. I loved swimming in the water. I loved building in the sand. I loved riding in the boat. When I think back to all the time we spent on the boat, I'm always happy. Everybody was always having a good time. There was lots of laughter and fun. It was a time when we all came together to get things done. We all helped load and unload, pack and unpack, and we all worked together.
I can still close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun, smell the exhaust from the boat, taste the sunchips, and hear the fun and laughter. I can remember the happy, tired feeling driving in the car on the way home. If I could recreate one event with my family, it would have to be a day on the boat.
