"Getting my 'big kid' bike when I was nine. From then on, summers meant riding around the neighborhood with my siblings all day." - Crystal A., Texas "Definitely when I bought my first car, a 1992 Nissan Sentra. I grew up in a small town, so having a car allowed me to take day trips to the bigger cities with my friends. We made awesome memories going to concerts, water parks, and more!" - Ian O., Michigan "My siblings and I would spend summers with our grandmother in North Carolina. I learned so many things on those visits, including how to cook some of her signature dishes, like baked mac and cheese and cinnamon rolls." - Jeannie B., California "I miss going to summer camp. It was a great way to make new friends and try new activities, like oil painting and archery." - Mateo M., Florida "Going to Disney World with my family. Thanks to the thrilling rides, kind characters, and delicious food, it's an experience I'll never forget." - Claudia R., New Jersey "I would do jobs for my neighbors and then use the money to go to the movies.

We visited a different part of the country each year, from Theodore Roosevelt National Park to Niagara Falls and the White House. It's part of why I love traveling now." - Josh D., Nevada "I was born in August, so when I think of summer, I think of my birthday. My parents always made sure I had fun, whether it was a big celebration or just a sleepover." - Amy P., Washington READERS REMINISCE ON THEIR MOST‰LOVED TIMES. Summertime What's Your Favorite Memory?
