This week's personal genealogy & history challenge is to write about your winter memories from your childhood. My winters as a child are very similar to the winters I still experience as an adult. I live in the same town and neighborhood as I did back then. I live in western New York near Lake Ontario so we get snow!!! I hate snow, but as a child it wasn't as bad as I perceive it today. My childhood winter memories make me think of snowmen and sledding. We had and still have a great sledding hill. The hill is part of my family's property and many generations of my family have spent quality hours and trips going up and down the hill. A day spent on the hill always means hot cocoa when you are finished. Gotta love the cocoa!
Probably the thing that I like best about winter is making snowmen. It is my favorite thing to do with my boys on a snowy but sunny winter day. I used to make them with my mom when I was little. We also spent lots of time making snow forts and playing tag games in the snowy yard. I remember wearing snow mobile boots and having to put my feet in bread bags before putting them on so that they would stay dry. As I got a little older I had a really cool pair of white and blue moon boots.
