Eating blue crab with friends on Eastern Shore of Maryland while Drinking Margaritas and watching the water.
My favourite Summer tradition is eating dinner in the patio in the evening with friends over.
My favorite summer tradition is having cookouts during the season.
Every Summer, I look forward to inviting family and friends to gather on our front porch. Long talks and laughter fill our hearts as we slow down, relax, and reconnect. It’s fun to send everyone home with fresh picked bouquets from our old-fashioned, cottage garden. Summertime and front porches make such sweet memories! ?
I love lazy summer days with my family, especially watching my kids run through the sprinkler during the day and roasting marshmallows for smores with them at night.
I am not sure this is a “tradition” but there is a recipe that my entire family really enjoys, so I do make it at least one time each summer. It is apricot brandy slush…a very refreshing and delicious drink. I suppose a more “traditional tradition” would be planting my garden each year, something I really look forward to.
My favorite summer tradition is having a neighborhood barbeque and potluck. We do this several times during the summer and it is always a lot of fun.
Making summer fruit pies, cobblers, and cakes; cutting fresh zinnia bouquets from my flowers garden and giving them away to friends and family; and hanging out with my family with a more relaxed schedule.
Hi! My favorite summer activity is to be with my best friend, because no matter where we are or what we’re doing, we laugh a lot, reminisc, and figure out new waysto help someone. We’ve always been that way since 1971, when, by happinstance, we ended up as
roommates in college!
Whether we’re on the phone online or in real time, I always come away with enthusiasm, affirmation, and inspiration!
My favorite summer tradition is going to the beach with my family.
My favorite is getting the porch furniture out, unfolding the awning, and beginning to spend time on our back porch enjoying the garden and watching the world go by!
My favorite summer tradition is summer in general, having down time and not being in so much hustle and bustle of the school year!
Every June we head over to a u-pick strawberry farm to get strawberries. We always laugh that it’s a good thing they don’t weigh us , because there is nothing better then a fresh ripe strawberry straight off the plant. We call it quality control!
I don’t know if it’s necessarily a tradition, but I always look forward to hanging out by the pool and barbecuing with family and friends during the summer.
We have a very large vegetable garden and our favourite tradition is when the first tomato is ripe to bring it in and have a toasted tomato sandwich. Taste of pure summer. Thanks for a chance to win. Cheers.
I love playing croquet in the backyard with my kids.
Beautiful and very inspiring release ! I love the idea of the look book.
As for my favorite summer tradition, I would say the picnics ! I love spending time outside and doing it with good company is even better.

Oh my goodness; everything is sooo beautiful!! I love it ALL! My favorite summer tradition is catching fireflies with my son 🙂

My favorite summer tradition….hmmm. There are so many things I enjoy about summer….picking the fresh blueberries and raspberries from my garden for breakfast each morning…. Fires in our chiminea with marshmallows to roast and s’mores to create and of course crazy campfire songs to sing when the guitars come out…Walks on the beach near our home as the sun goes down and the waves serenade us with their songs….

No special traditions for summer – just enjoying it!
Summer is pretty hot and humid here in the south, so probably making things for Christmas in july. I usually start making a few items at that time to get a head of all the things that go on in the fall that take my time away from crafting.
Night swimming – at least once in the season we ignore the risk to life and limb of the voracious mosquitoes and swim under the stars. It’s magical, even if the next few days we all smell of sarna!
My favorite summer tradition is huge family barbecue get-togethers!
It would have to be going to the Hollywood Bowl. We usually picnic first and then see a show. We’ve been going for years now and it’s always something we look forward too every summer.

For the last 21 years, we have gone to a Family Reunion on my husbands side, in Siesta Key, Florida. We just got home from it yesterday, and even though it rained every day and we couldn’t go to the beach, we had awesome visits with family we only get to see once a year. (Plus fabulous food and some shopping fun!)

Opening the pool! We gave up vacations afar to build an oasis in our backyard that brings us many hours of summer fun and relaxation. We are in Pa., so we even have solar panels to lengthen the swim season. Love it!
Going on vacation! We decided several years ago, that with only 10 years left before my eldest leaves for college, we would commit to taking a vacation each summer as a family. We’ve been alternating between foreign and domestic vacations, and it’s been such a special time to have together.
One of my favorite summer traditions is making homemade ice cream!

While my family doesn’t have any annual summer “traditions”, I always enjoy a day at the lake having a picnic with family and friends when the weather is beautiful!
Floating in the pool, blasting music and sipping on something cold.
Going to the annual family picnic at the end of July.
Sitting on my front porch watching the fireflies lighting up the twilight, like little twinkles of hope and joy!

It doesn’t sound like a summer tradition, but my favorite tradition ever is going out of state for a school clothes shopping trip with my girls. It’s the best, most precious time just us girls!
For the past ten years or so, I make a trek to New England. So much to enjoy on these trips: a slower pace, seafood and sea views, historical sights, and recollections of many happy memories.
Every year we go to Ennis, Montana fly fishing the Madison River. We have been going to Montana to fly fish the beautiful rivers for over 38 years with our boys. For the last 18 we have stayed outside of Ennis at the Rainbow Valley Lodge. We go around the 4th of July.
It is a festive time with some of the same people coming every year from all over the United States and other countries. We have made lasting friendships. Now our grandkids come and are learning the art of flyfishing and have made friends with other ‘grandkids’! I have even gone to a card making party on a cattle ranch high up in the valley mountains. It was beautiful and fun being with crafters. It is not the only thing we do during the summer but it is surely a lasting favorite.
Now that my children are grown, I look forward to summer to take photos of the Milky Way and wild flowers, and of course it is swimming season for our Golden Retriever– we take him daily to a local state park for a walk and a swim–best days ever!
Great release!
It’s a newer summer tradition, but we have been visiting a friend in Seattle for July 4th. Summer in Seattle is beautiful. We couldn’t go this year since the airfares were doubled/tripled due to the Boeing Max 8 flight cancellations, but hope to make it next year.

My favorite summer tradition is watching fireworks. We watch them in one town on July 3, another on July 4, and then on three different nights in late July/early Aug, we go up to Vancouver, BC, and watch fireworks in the international competition they host. They are spectacular!

EACH YEAR MY FAVORITE DAY IS FLOWER SHOPPING DAY. THE GREENHOUSES ARE FILLED WITH BLOOMING FLOWERS IN TRAYS OR POTS OF VARYING SIZES; ALL BEGGING TO BE CHOSEN FOR THAT TRIP TO MY GARDEN. BUT, NOW THAT I AM LIVING IN AN ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY, I HAVE ONLY A BALCONY FOR A FEW BEAUTIES. A FLOOR LOWER HAS A BLANK HILLSIDE SURROUNDED BY LIVE HOLLY TREES AND SMALL EVERGREENS. THE ONLY WAY TO ENTER THIS SPACE IS BY A CODE….THEREFORE IT HAS THE NAME “SECRET GARDEN”. SOME FRIENDS AND I NOW BUY SEED PACKS AND PERENNIALS TO GLORIFY A FORMERLY DRAB AREA.

Catching (and releasing) fireflies is a great tradition I share with my grandsons and brings many happy memories from childhood.
We would catch them and put them in jars with holes punched in the lid for air. After we went to sleep Mom would turn the fireflies loose and we would start again the next evening.
Every year we take a road trip up north, with my kids taking a couple friends. We do a little novelty shopping, have pizza, then spend the day at the beach. A little McDonald’s stop on the way home. We look forward to it every year!
When I was a kid it was going to visit our relatives in Minnesota. They had a little resort on a lake & we would go fishing. Now I look forward to the 4th of July when we have a potluck dinner at my brother’s. After shooting off fireworks my sister in law serves her fabulous Oreo ice cream dessert!
