Making Memories Monday: Memories

Remember this Making Memories Monday post, the one where I talked about how much I loved camping as a kid and how excited I was to be going camping with my boys in a few weeks.  Well, this is the week!  So, as you are reading this post, I am camping with my boys, and about 3,000 other Cub Scouts, at a Boy Scout Centennial Camp-o-Ree!  I am sure I will have some great stories to relay when I return home, but for now, please go ahead and link one of your special memories for Making Memories Monday, and then come back tomorrow night to see if I made it home in one piece!

Remember:

  1. Please leave a link back to Adventures in McQuill-land on your Making Memories Monday post!
  2. Add your name to MckLinky at Adventures in McQuill-land and enter a 2-3 word subject to give blog hoppers an idea of what we’ll find at your post.  Like this:  Jennifer (playing dress-up).
  3. AND… Please be sure to link to your individual Making Memories Monday post, not your home page.  This makes it easier for blog hoppers to find your shared memory!
