Honestly, learning things and doing projects together brings memories too. If that wasn't the case, your family was doing it wrong. Plenty of kids jam together in a garage, have awesome memories from the school band, or otherwise. Great memories are formed. Or sitting around a camp fire playing a harmonica or a guitar. If you're learning "instead of" rather than "as a means to," well, there's your problem.
