day three of the ten day challenge

today marks day three of this challenge and i am suppose to write about my favorite childhood memory. the thing of it is, that i dont just have one memory of my childhood that is my favorite. there is plenty of my memories that are my favorite. so i just can not choose one. so i will be naming a few. 
i was born in the 1980s so we really didnt have computers or video games and so on. i was always outdoors when or as much as i could as a child and no my parents didnt have to make me go outside. i went outside because i enjoyed it. while outside i would play hide and seek, tag, baseball, basketball, kickball, rode bicycles,  and so on with my brother and sister (well that is when my sister would go outside with us. she used to like the indoors better then the outdoors. dont know why lol ) and with some cousins and a few friends. those was some fun times. i remember once (i use to live in alabama) it came up a blizzard like in march (i think it was march i think it was around the time we was out for spring break so we didnt miss too much school) my brother and i stayed outside to play in the snow. our parents had to make us come back in every so often to keep us from getting frost bite. we use to live in the country and we had a drive away that was pretty long. and my brother and i tried to see how far we could walk in the snow and we carried a tape measure with us to see how deep the snow was. we tried to get our sister to come out side to build a snowman with us and build forts and have a snowball fight but she would barely step out the door.

so as you can see that i have a lot of childhood memories. it would probably take weeks or longer just to write them all down. and i really do not have time for that haha. but i will say this growing up in the 80/90s was the best. it isnt like it is now. where most kids just wants to play video games, be on their cellphones constantly, is always on the computer, and so on. i really think that we need to take away  video games, cellphones, and computers away from kids now days but then again i guess if you did they wouldnt know what to do haha. but i think they need theses things took away from them. or they are never going to know what the real world is really like. they will always want to live in a fantasy world. if they want to live in a fantasy then we need to teach them to pick up a book and read it. they can learn so much more from a book.
