Our summer tradition (starting this year) is to spend as much time at our cabin as possible. My family had this same tradition when I was a child, and I'm thrilled to be blessed enough to share this with our kids.!

We don't have many unless sleeping in counts. The one thing we have done since my kids were babies is to go to Great Wolf Lodge. They have a great outside pool along with the inside Waterpark in Kansas City. My kids look forward to that every summer!

A trip to San Diego, where we all just hang and play at the beach. Love it. Leaving next week and can't wait.

WOW! Cool giveaways! A summer tratition that my family enjoys is growing a garden and then eating lots of goodies from it. My favorites are fried green tomatoes, summer squash (my great grandmother's recipe), and the fresh spices (chocolate mint, basil, lemon verbena,...) yum!

there is no summer here in Singapore. But this time of the year, our family looks forward to eating DURIANS - the smelly king of fruits.

Our summer tradition is the hard work of harvest. Summer is time for combining grain and picking cotton.

Every summer we have our family reunion. We just got back. So fun for everyone to get together. We all live in different states, so to have everyone in one place is truly a blessing.

Going to a place called Lakeside which is on Lake Erie in Ohio. We've been going there every summer for sixteen years now. It's a small gated community that feels like you've stepped back in time about 60 or 70 years ago. Love it!

One of my favorite summer traditions is packing up the kids and heading to our beach house. We love spending time on the beach, walking around the small town and just spending quality time together. I love summer.

We live in a city with great neighborhood festivals and city-wide events. Our favorite tradition is going to these festivals as a family, hanging out, having fun, and eating well!

My favorite summer tradition is just being with family for our typical Memorial Day cookout. After Thanksgiving and Christmas we rarely get together all of us in one place and it's nice to see everyone once again and just have fun.

1,560 comments? Unbelievable! Anyhoo, my favorite summer tradition is going to the beach! Taking a break from the daily grind, packing up our swim suits, and heading to the Gulf. Mmmmm....nice.

Since I am a teacher, our summer traditions include sleeping late, big huge waffles in the mornings, and lazy days at the pool.

I love our 4th of July tradition. Parade in the morning, swimming in the afternoon, BBQ and then to the fireworks. It's always such a fun filled day.

Every summer we spend our Wednesdays going to the Flea Market and going to the Amish stores in Central PA. Another thing we do is go to this place in the country to pick our own blueberries and freezing them to have all year long.

We read books out loud when in the car going back and forth to the lake or on one of many car trips. In the past we have read the Harry Potter Series, and currently we are reading the Twilight Series.

My Favorite summer tradition has to be the 4th! I love that we alwasys have food at my moms and then go to the fireworks. Last year we were so early that we were the first people there! We had a blast playing catch and eating candy! I can't wait until this year!

Hi Ali,
A favorite summmer tradition is taking our son to camp. We just took him today. It's always sad for me to leave him, but I know he is going to have so much FUN!
