Labor Day Tournaments with my family at my summer house. Every labor day weekend, my grandmother would put on a tournament for all of her grandchildren. We would compete in different activities like mini golf, bocci, horse shoe, darts, balloon pop, and arts and crafts. Everyone would win a prize for different things because the competition didn't really count. All the cousins always had so much fun!!

Passover dinners at my great aunts house. We use to have so many people the kids (and I think I was 21 when I got a seat at the table) would have to sit on the stairs for the sedar.

One of my FAVORITE childhood memories is going to New Jersey every summer with my Dad and my 3 sisters. We would always hangout with my cousins and have so much fun! We would play pool and sega's donkey kong in their basement I just got it for Wii and it reminds me of those days so much!! -- At the end of our stay we would always go to Seaside Heights and the Jersey Shore!!!! Maybe thats why I love that show so much
great question!

i use to live across the street from a park...so my favorite memory would be every day during lunch time. my grandfather would go across and buy a hot dog from the stand it only cost 75 cents. the park was always crowded and so i had my own swing set in the backyard. i would swing then enjoy the hot dog ;)

Re: ----QOTD Feb. 8----
I have many memorable family trips, especially to Disney World. There is one in particular though when I was about 11 years old when my mom and dad pulled us out of school for two days for a long weekend down there since my dad was going for business. We stayed at the Grand Floridian which is where his conferences were. I just remember feeling so cool getting pulled out of school!
I also felt very grown up because it was the first time my siblings and I got to go out to dinner alone with no parents since they had a business dinner to attend. We just went downstairs in the hotel to 1900 Park Fare and my parents told the restaurant we were coming and we charged it to the room, but we felt so gown up. And all the waiters made a big fuss over us!
