Random Thursday: Childhood Memory

Yet another Random Thursday .... waaa waaa waaa

The topic for the week:

Hmmmm..... 

Ok so i am going to consider under 18 as childhood! 

If you disagree then maybe we can have a chat about age! 

I am gonna have to see if i can dig for some photos... hold on... i'll be right back! 

I'm back! And just like i thought, I do not have any pictures handy to share with you. Sad face! 

(For the record.... I am super tired and so much to do before bed tonight!) 

So, my one favorite memory from my childhood was an entire trip to Europe with my church during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school in 1997!

We went to 4 different countries in 2 weeks and it was awesome! 

Here are some places we saw:

(Pictures were obviously found elsewhere!)

Amsterdam

Ignore the person on the bike, that is not me, but i was there once!

Rome

It was so hot when we were here! I remember thinking "can this tour be over?" Stinks that i didn't listen more carefully! 

By bus we traveled through Italy and got to see Assisi, Florence and Milan! 

Switzerland

Paris

Along with the places that we traveled to, it really was an awesome tip with a great group of friends! I am even still friends with some of the people i traveled with! It was definitely a combination between the places and the people to make this memory a great one! 

So, what was your favorite childhood memory?

Catch the Rage

While I am gone and making so many new memories with my hubs, i thought i would share some memories of my childhood!

When the question goes around "what is your favorite toy from your childhood?" 

I totally remember a silly ball tht i played with for hours! It was called the Orbi! And it looked like this:

Basically, i would hold the ribbons together and throw it as high as i could! I would do this in the front yard and looking back i wonder how my ball never landed on the roof. Maybe my memory of how high this ball could go were a little skewed. I probably thought it was flying much higher than it really was. I totally have memories of getting excited when the neighbors would come join me and play with the Orbi with me! I felt like a girl in the commercial! This was my favorite toy and I played with it for hours and hours.

So did you catch the rage? Do you even remember that commercial? I totally do.... but some of you might be just a touch to young to remember it! (Totally showing my age!) 

What was your favorite toy from when you were a child?
