FlashBack Friday



I love looking over old pictures and remembering all the great times I had as a kid. The picture that I chose was from when I was nine years old. My family, as well as many Aunts and Uncles and a whole bunch of cousins, spent some time at a cabin at the lake. It was so much fun. It was also where I learned to swim. Great memories. In this picture, I am holding my two cousins. This was a very common thing. I loved taking care of the babies. I still do, which is probably the reason that I have five children and would like more. What a great flashback!



If you would like to share a flashback from your life, go visit Tara!

  2. Oh sweet. Already mothering at age 9... love it! I'm so glad you're playing along with flashback fri. I think it's going to be so much fun to remember where I came from and I find out about everyone else too!

    My family had a lake where we gathered in the summers too. I love doing that type of thing. It creates a strong bond between cousins. So sweet.

  6. Sweet picture! The baby lost a sock:) I loved babies at that age too.

    We didn't have a place by the lake when I was younger. Though I did have a pool. My Hubby's parents have a place by the lake, so my kids will have those memories.

    What a fun thing to do. But, I don't have old pictures of me:(

  8. Sounds like you have a wonderful extended family, Sandy. That is so great. So do I. In fact, we are having a big gathering for the Superbowl this weekend that I am really looking forward to.

    Big families make for really good holiday celebrations, wouldn't you agree?
