My family and I just got back from a camping trip to the mountains. We camped in a campground that I camped in every year growing up as a child. It holds so many wonderful and special memories for me. I can't describe the feeling I still get when we enter the campground. It is so nice to leave the world behind and enjoy the peacefulness of nature. I love cooking, making a campfire, sitting around doing nothing, going to the creek, watching for deer and bears and riding a bike.
I was walking along while my daughter was riding her bike through the campground as I used to do and it hit me-I saw me in her at that moment. At that moment I couldn't believe that so many years had passed in my life and that here I was a mother watching my daughter ride her bike making the same memories I have. It was a special moment for me and I had to fight back the tears.
Tears of happiness and tears of times past. I hope that my daughter will someday look back at these days and think of how wonderful this time in her life was. I know I do.
Let us know if your child is making "Your Memories".
