Aloha Friday - Favorite Childhood Memory

Aloha Fridays are brought to you by Kailani from An Island Life. Over there in Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. So, for Aloha Friday, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Answer my question and put one of your own up on your blog. Link up and check out other blogs that participate at An Island Life.


What is your favorite childhood memory?


My favorite childhood memory is playing with my grandpa. He was a ton of fun to be around and he made the time to make me feel special, when no one else did. He took me swimming, hiking and to all the local playgrounds. I remember one summer there was a black lab that was so sweet, she was just roaming around the neighborhood all by herself. He told me to give her a name, which I glady did, I called her Josephine. We hopped in the car and took Josephine to the park and played with her all day. At the end of the day we came back to his house and then Josephine wandered off. I was so sad to see her go but she had to. My grandma was so mad that my grandpa let me play with a strange dog all day - name it, and then try to keep it. She insisted that the dog had an owner and it was wrong of us to take her to the park and play. I remember my grandpa fighting back saying that we didn't do anything wrong but have a good time. I loved playing with her, but I did have a family dog at home so I knew that Josephine must have had a family that loved her like I loved my dog. It was a fun adventure that day though at my grandparents house!
