My biggest adventure as a kid was the summer where there were a bunch of tadpoles in the stream behind my friends house. We had so much fun watching them grow.

My biggest adventure as a child was moving cross country at the age of 10. New home, new school, making new friends.
I know kids move more often nowadays, but back in the 1960s it was more of a challenge!

My whole childhood was an adventure. We moved every 3 years and would stay in a hotel for a few months until we found a house -because of the job my father had. There were 5 of us kids so we made our own fun. We loved to explore the new towns with our mom. My dad also made sure we hit every civil war battlefield that we were anywhere near. I didn't know what a blessing it was at the time but I look back on it and I am very grateful!

My favorite childhood adventure was going right around the corner to my childhood best friends house..... She had a HUGE magnolia tree where we would climb to the top and play that we were on a MASSIVE ship with water surrounding us. I was the ship captian and we had first mates with all our team on board, amaginary of course!!!!! We would take people captive and some times we would be on rescue missions! When a thunderstorm was coming it made it so much more fun and realistic, like we would be trapped out in the sea! O to be a child again! Now I try and have that same fun with my 8 yr old daughter. In hopes she will be able to have the same amagination that I used to have! Nowadays kids are stuck on the computer or in front of the t.v....... we as parents should incorporate more active and outdoor activities in our childrens lives.

my biggest adventure was when my cousin, my brother and i were at our familys summer house upstate. we decided to go fishing at the lake and my brother had a tackle box full of fireworks and fishing lures. when we got to the fishing spot ( a large rock that sits it the water) my brother started to light his fireworks and toss them. he then had a grand idea. he took a bobber and attached a firework to it. he threw it out as far as he could. we all watched it fly. the bobber that is! the firework detached and fell right into his open tackle box and ignited all of the others. pop! pop! the whole box, lures and all fell and sank in the lake that day!

My biggest childhood adventure was when myself and a group of friends camped out in a friends back yard. We spent the entire night cruising several miles of our local neighborhood on our bikes. There a numerous adventures that we encountered that night. Back then getting things were much different and a lot more fun!

My greatest childhood adventure would have to be nights out with my Dad. Since he's passed, I like to remember the great childhood memories I had with him. We used to go into the woods and make smores and he'd tell me some of his childhood stories. Those the most important childhood memories that I will pass on to my baby.

My biggest childhood adventure was whitewater rafting on the Lehigh River without any adults in the raft. We were told to stay on a certain side of the bridge overpass, and, being kids, we ignored that rule. Only learned later that there was dangerous metal on the side we traveled on which could have deflated our raft and left us stranded.

My greatest childhood adventure is all the Girl Scout outings we went on. From camping to NYC, I did a lot of things that I otherwise wouldn't have done if I wasn't in Girl Scouts.

My biggest adventure was looking at cliff painting with my brother.I was 12 and he was 14. My family drove all night into the Canadian wilderness to go hiking. This one path led out to a lake but it was up really high and there were ropes with waist secures so people could scale the cliffs to see the paintings. My parents wouldn't let me go alone so my big brother tied his rope to mine and helped me down the cliff then back up. It was such an amazing discovery we made together. We felt like Indiana Jones! My brother is like my best friend and seeing the cliff paintings together was so special I will always remember it.

My greatest childhood adventure would have to be around 10 years old when the family and I went down to a state park in PA for family reunion. That trip stands out because it was the first time that three (of four) of us children were allowed to "explore" the park on our own so long as we all stayed together. We managed to stay safe and out of trouble... just barely!

Every summer as a child my sister and I would go with my grandparents on their boat up to the Canadian San Juans. My greatest adventure was the summer we met a group of loggers at a camp on one of the islands. They took us all for a ride in their humungous truck and let us help cook dinner at their mess hall. It was a very unique experience. My grandfather seemed to find all of the unusual places to go, leading his "all girl crew" through some very special times. God bless him.

My best adventure was (living on a golf course) getting all the people we lived near together and having golf cart parades. We would decorate the carts with lights and flowers and streamers and drive down the whole golf course blasting dancing music!
