Water skiing (slalom by age 6)
Riding my bike to some old cemetary and having a picnic lunch there (7 or 8?)
Riding my bike the 5 miles into town to get a chocolate malt sundae
cup, eaten with a wooden tongue depressor spoon, then riding right
back home (11?)

Yes. I have very clear memories back to the age of 4. My sister has
clear memories back to 3, and some fuzzy twos.
Never get into an argument with my sister about what happened in the
past. I have yet to catch her out in an error.
Most are just flashes of happenings for me (all tied to action,
Hell yeah. I can remember visiting places like Carlsbad Caverns when I
was 3. But I think my brain is full. I couldn't even find my keys this
morning.

First question what does the kid like to do?
One thing - local zoos frequently have special summer programs you may
want to check out.
Also what about camping, fishing or hiking - I caught my first fish
when I was 6, that was memorable.
Also look at living history events in your area, not just
Yes, fishing is what my father did with us all growing up. We still go
fishing, and have been doing it a lot recently.

Last weekend my daughter (4 1/2 years old) and I spent the Saturday
night camping out at the Zoo. It was awesome. She loved it. It was
about $45 per person and included tours of the Zoo in the evening and
morning, watching animals being fed, and dinner, breakfast and a snack
for us. There was
Not to say it gets boring in Guam, but I remember going to McDonalds and
watching the gecko's gather on the windows looking to catch bugs
attracted by the light. We'd bet on which gecko would get a bug next.
Paul when were you in Guam?

OK, so this kid obviously needs some sleep since he's the most involved
6-year old ever.

What's wrong with video games?
When I was growing up, my father and I didn't get to see each other a
lot. On the occasions that we were together he always tried to make
sure that there was something cool and fun to do. Sometimes it's fun
to do stuff, but it does get exhausting after a while.
not adjust your TV...

When the water starts to really heat up this time of year, bass go deeper
and become less active, especially during the day. At night, when the water
settles down, is the primary feeding time for larger bass.
Morning and evening are your best bet for catching more fish, but smaller
fish,

Trust me, I wish I could get him to sleep more.
He goes to bed strictly by 7:30. Which means he gets up at 6:00 or
7:00 at the latest. He is good about playing in his room by himself -
unless I am sleeping over. At which point he hops out of bed and comes
running down the hall full speed and
I think that unstructured time may be the best thing you can give a
kid. I remember swinging on a swing and picking Queen Anne's Lace with
my mother when we liked on a farm in Bolton (which sooo does not have
farms anymore). I would have been three or four. At five or six we
were in Edmonton and I
i do not remember crap from my childhood, maybe i blocked it all out..
the only thing i /do/ remember is sitting in mo's with my dad.. and
insisting on having a beer. i was 6... my dad was like.. ok.. if you
want one you can have one... (things were different back then) He
ordered me a Pabst
One very poingnant memory I have is a day I went to the beach.
I remember it as a lovely, almost magical experience, with the sand on
the beach etc. We went into a store on the beach to buy a toy, I still
remember the toy.
A Big red plastic toy with a button to push that would shoot air

I can remember back to when I was 3 years old. Certain memories just
stick with you.

I actually remember back to when I was in the crib..but that wasn't a
happy memory.
My Aunt's dog came into the room and barked at me whilst I was
standing up holding onto the mesh that was the 'walls' of the crib.My
parents were amazed when a while back I was relating the story, and my
aunt said
Me and my friends used to build scooters from a 2x4, a wooden milk crate and a

Most of my memories come in fits and starts, I get a flash of

was just over a year old), french doors in a livingroom
