The most fun I ever had was during my childhood in China, on the island where I was born and grew up. We watched the sunrise on the beach while waiting for the tide to go out. Then, we dug for clams and competed to see who could dig up the most. When the tide came back in, it was time to go home. I ran around in the water with my brother while my parents carried the clams back to our house. I was tired and excited.
