Favorite Time of the Year (as a Child)

This is actually a really tough question!
As a child I loved the summers. We lived on a child friendly street. There were so many wonderful people to play with, but I spent most of my time with Tumpale, my best friend in Elementary School, and her family. I remember having a fabulous garden, a fantastic patio, a trampoline, sandbox and lot of green grass and trees. It was like a little paradise. I don't know how my mom ever got me in at night.
On top of that I loved playing softball. Almost every summer I played on a large city league. I made friends that would become even better friends when we ended up in middle school together. I enjoyed competing and having fun. I even remember practicing with my mom in the street in front of our house occasionally. I am glad we never broke a window.
I also loved the summer because they were filled with adventures. I loved going out to the lake with Nanny. I had a blast going to the cabin with Granny. There was never a dull moment when either of my Grandmas were involved!
Another time of the year that I loved was winter. My wonderful Aunt Amy took me skiing frequently while I was young. I loved being in the cold weather surrounded by snow. I loved going fast, but in control. I loved learning how to ski better. I loved the winter smell!
I am sure I loved the flowers in spring and the fun of Halloween (how can you not like a national birthday event), but I think summer and winter were the favorites!
