Since Bee and I grew up in vastly different cultures and in different parts of the world, there are many things from our childhood that the other wasn't able to experience. After developing a relationship I learned many  of the great Western style activities as a child I experienced that Bee hasn't been able too. I have compiled a list of the top 10 memories of my Childhood that Bee hasn't experienced that I would love to share with her! I hope that we can share them soon or perhaps someday with Kids of our own!

 

Top 5 Western Childhood memories:

 

1. Christmas:

 

-Okay not a surprising choice and also something that is generally celebrated around the world.But nothing is quite like Christmas in Canada. The snow, hot chocolate, the familytogether at home by the fire, makes for a pretty magical movie like experience. Not to mention the adrenaline toy rush feeling as a kid, haha.


The ginger bread house we made last Christmas!(joy for fun, taste bad to eat)

2. Trick or Treating, Halloween:

-Always my second favorite holiday, trick or treating was always a thrill as a kid. It was exciting to get free candy from your neighbors all while competing with friends on you can fill their pill case with the most chocolate.  Only downside is the frozen hands from carrying the heavy bag during the cold October night. 

 

3. Summertime Boating and BBQ:

-Hot dogs, steak and baked potato.....yum! Plus tubing (being pulled by a speed boat while in an inflatable tube) at the family cottage, was a lot of fun. Even though you were scared of falling off the tube but didn't want to show in front of the cousins. 

 

4. LaserTag/Paintball:

-I loved LaserTag as a kid and still do. Which later progressed to a love for paintball once my mother allowed me to play. I have actually gotten to play LaserTag with Bee, when she came to visit last December. We had so much although she killed me too much. I have a feeling paintball might be a lot harder to get her to play. 

 

5. Calgary Stampede:

-A big tradition here in Calgary, Stampede was always a highlight of my youth. It really kicked off the summer as the first big event after school was finished for the summer. I always loved the Rodeo and riding the horses among the western syle activities. Another favorite was the food! Deep fried Oreos, dip-n-dots ice cream and mini donuts, Yum!
