Summer tradition

We don't really have any traditions. Most summers we are too broke to afford to do anything. The past couple years we've been too busy because the kids get involved in Marching Band which starts in the beginning of July so there's always something going on with that. We don't have any family or anything around to do gatherings with, except hubby's 80ish year old aunt we visit each year.

Many things, swimming, hiking, cooking out, and watching the fireworks.

We don't really have any summer tradition. I never had any growing up. My husband has one - he goes "home" to see his family. The rest of us station HOME. With the girls older and working, it is harder for them to get away anyway. But because hubby puts his other family as his top priority we don't get to do anything. When the kids were little we used to try and go to a different place every year... day trips.

we really don't have one..unless you'd count "the airing of the house".it seems to get a wee..stale? over the winter,and when you open the windows a nice fresh breeze comes in to blow out any dust or whatnot.plus,the cats enjoy it :)

The tradition we have in the summer is a Labor day party every year. This year it will be Saturday Sept 5th. I hope it's a better turn out this year then last year and it doesn't rain.

Here in the Philippines it's not only a family tradition but even offices/companies and groups , have the tradition to have their summer outing . It's usually in the beach or a resort with springs and swimming pools.

There is no tradition as such. However, during summer vacations we try to go to any hill station for getting a feel of cooler atmosphere. Summer vacations starts here in May and ends in July every year. Schools and colleges remain closed during this period. New Delhi remains hot during summer and one feels like going to cooler places. However, one needs to plan in advance for summer vacations outing because every tourist place is crowded during summer vacations.

I am not sure if it is a tradition what i'll say later.when i was young, i lived in countryside, we have a summer harvest of wheat every year.We had to finish this harvest ASAP so that we donot encounter a powerful rainfall. And another reason why we are so ungernt is that we plant wheat, grain and maize together, after the reap of wheat, we have to irrigate grain as quickly as we can. If I can't finish my harvest in time, the other peoples's irritating maybe take some trouble for my unfinished harvest. So summer harvest of that time is ungent and with large labour intensity, and with high temperture!

We go to the free days at the musuem and at the zoo every year. We go to the fun p[ark at least once in the summer and swim every chance we get.
