It is challenging to think of just one childhood memory to
write about. I can vividly recall a gallimaufry of parties, family vacations,
sporting events or even just small, random things that have happened. A
significant amount of these memories involve my brother and other family
members but since Jasper (jazpaah.blogspot.com) is sitting right next to me, I’m
going to do this blog about one memory
that wasn’t all the crucial in my life that was a fun experience. Back in the
days of Elementary School, Jasper would come over to my house about 3 days a
week so that my mom could watch him and his sister while their parents were
working. On these days, Jasper and I were never bored. Spending most of our
time outside, running around with sticks and using our insane imaginations to
play a certain game. I don’t really remember what we did but I remember
building little forts out of sticks, leaves, rocks and whatever else we could
and run around with our sticks. We spent countless hours doing this but one day
we decided to not play the game and build a tee-pee in the woods. The base of
the tee-pee was a thin, leaning tree that was thin but sturdy. We leaned a
bunch of other fallen branches and sticks against the tree forming our own
little shelter. We were so proud of what we had built. The tee-pee remained
standing up until a few years ago when the hurricane came and knocked it down
for the most part. Although some of it still remained, I was still a little
disappointed that it was gone. Even though I never went inside it anymore ,it
was always something I could look out the window and see this cool thing that Jasper
and I made back in about 4th grade.
