My favorite summer tradition is the 4th of July when we light of fireworks and eat lots of nummy food. The kids get to stay up late and love the magic of the night.

Whipped cream! Once during the summer, I buy a bunch of cans of compressed whipped cream and either let my kids squirt them at each other in the yard (whipped cream war) or fill a plate and let them eat a plateful without using any silverware or hands. Always a good laugh and something silly they look forward to.

My favorite summer tradition: spending one on one time with my three sons. It's something that gets lost in all of the hustle and bustle of the school year. it's a blessing to just have them come into the kitchen one at a time and make breakfast together or bake cookies. I alternate the days so that they each get to be the special helper.

Campouts on the trampoline! My kids love camping and the trampoline- what better way to combine the two?! We also love the lazy days and staying up a little later. And otter pops!

Our fav tradition is picking as many sour cherries off our tree as possible to save, freeze and make pies with. We picked a ton last week and another huge bucket today!! I will be making some pie tomorrow, YUM!

I'm hoping that we will start a new summer tradition watching the 4th of July fireworks from our yard with our boys. Last year they were infants so hopefully this year they will enjoy them. :)

After vacationing in the Caribbean 2 yrs ago we realized we really enjoyed relaxing in the sun, eating and drinking and just having fun. We made firm plans to start to use our deck outback more and soon had the first of many 'deck days'.
Being married 7 yrs this August, we are still beginning to make traditions together. Deck day is great. It always includes a special drink, food, reading materials, and our spouse.

My favorite summer tradition is our annual summer adventure that we go on every year. Every summer, my husband, son and I pick a place we want to visit in our home state of Michigan, or another surrounding state, and we just take off for a long weekend, totally spontaneously. We don't really plan too far ahead, we just wait until the timing is right and pick the place we're going to visit right before we leave. This past year we went to Muskegon, MI to visit Lake Michigan and a family amusement park, Michigan Adventure. I look forward to these trips every summer! = )

Letting go and moving on is a recurring theme for me right now. This includes the physical stuff around me and I find with each thing I let go I become lighter, more free in spirit. By fall, I hope to have rid myself of the physical and emotional stuff weighing me down so I can move on to a new, more exciting chapter of my life as I return to school.
