I have so many fond memories growing up with the McMahons there's no way I could ever put my finger on one but my greatest memory was watching my brothers and the McMahon boys playing ice hockey on our back driveway and me being the sister and the youngest I had to watch from the kitchen window my mom would never let me out there because she would say the boys are playing ice hockey. And I know I used to hear about all the football games they had out front of our houses. They were definitely a great family to grow up with.
