My favorite childhood memory is going to our cabin in Cross Fork, Potters County. My family had a cabin there and it was one of my favorite things to do. We would always go spot lighting for deer and bear and spend time by the fire making mountain pies. When I heard my favorite childhood memory this was the first one to come to mind.

My favorite childhood memory was going to Lancaster every late September to pick pumpkins and gather fall garden items with my mom and sister. It was such a great tradition that I will always cherish and continue to do when I have children some day. It made me love the fall season and especially Halloween!
