I was 2. Youngest one there. They had to use empty milk gallon jugs as floaties because my arms were too skinny for the blow up kind.

I was eight. I nearly burned down the house though. I had a paper napkin too close to the burner. It went up pretty quickly. Lucky for me my brother was there and put out the fire before it spread. Best noodles ever.

I was 7. We got a shih tzu from a pet store. I wanted to name her Muffin. My brother wanted to name her Sugar. He won. Sugar was the best dog ever.

I was six, and I picked orange, because I felt sorry for it. No one else seemed to favor it, so I made it my favorite.

I was 10. My brother taught me how to ride without them in our driveway and then down the street. I remember he made me put toilet paper in the seat of my pants to protect it. :D My parents wanted to wait until later on, but he decided I was old enough. They were a bit over protective.
