Summer is my favorite time of year. We here at Hub World have such a diverse group of people from all over the world and it got me thinking...what is your favorite summer time activity or tradition?
Thanks and Peace

We love vanilla ice cream with fresh, sliced peaches! Yum!! Reminds me of my childhood.
Family vacation. We always have so much fun together on holiday and they grow up so fast. I cherish those times more and more every year, cause they're slip, slip, slipping away.
But... they'll always be grandkids!
My favorite summer activity must be -- waiting for winter! Yark Yark Yark
Barbecues by the pool. Very Australian I know, but that is how family and friends spend a lot of the hot part of summer.
Agree and will add riding in the Jeep with the top down
Yeah barbecues by the pool! I like your style earnestshub Well I gotta agree with the barbecues part...but the pool sounds great too but I don't have one of those.
We only have one swimming pool in the family, at my daughters house, but my uni student son is a lifesaver with our largest indoor water sports arena where Melbourne holds major swimming events, so we spend some time there too. Great high pressure spas to massage a tired back... little fountains in shallow water for the ankle biters, a wave pool several warm pools for the disabled, plus a few very big swimming pools and a water slide...... it's all good.
You mean like the fish do Misha? That white cloud in the water ain't always krill ya know!
Picnics in Parks with friends. There are lots of beautiful parks with flower gardens around.
Awe yes the beautiful parks, we have great metro parks in Ohio and the walks in the park are amazing. Great Reminder...
Thanks
Long motorcycle rides (2-3 weeks at a time); have taken various trips throughout N.America. It's not the destination but the journey. amazing country to travel through in N.A. and able to meet interesting people along the way.
I have done the same a few times in Australia. Just take off with some spare time, a decent bike and go meet your fellow countrymen and women! Nice times.
sometime in the next year or so - i will ship my bike and travel in some other country/continent - mind you there is still a 'little' bit more for me to see in NA - not much though - have seen quite a bit of it by bike. I want to do it on my own bike when I travel outside of NA.
Love the pool , my kids love water...
Biking for long periods of time sounds great
Lying underneath the air conditioner until summer turns into fall- that's my favorite activity.
just enjoying the outdoors with my family.
Watching my grand kids and playing in the pool with them.
Having a few drinks poolside.
I love the summer.
Summer is so hot in here.....i enjoy sleeping in the AC during the day and going out at night!
my favorite hobbies during summer is find a whitesand beach, cook b-b-q with friens
summers are hot here, the backyard pool is where I live when I'm home. it's easy to get dressed, just put on a bathing suit!
or off to the beach in late afternoon/evening. late sunsets on the gulf. we perk up in the evening.
I can't be bothered moving the lawn anymore - waste of my time. I pay someone to do it for the first while and then I just let it turn yellow.
Eating ice cream sounds much better!
These are all good okay add on from the #1 if you like... I love catching fire flies with my two daughters and putting them in a jar, for a while then we let them go.
I enjoy most sitting in the morning sun in a reclining sun chair, reading a good book, until I'm too warm, then going in, having a lovely salad lunch and then napping for an hour. This will maybe happen, oh, twice all summer long. but I am looking forward - - - :
Playing on the beech with my kids, swimming and splashing around the fountains. And, backyard barbecues with cool friends.
Reminds me of the big fountain at Easton all the kids play in the fountain while the parents set around chatting and laughing all the while enjoying the kids fun in the fountains.
That's exactly what I do. I must say if it's hot enough I enjoy playing as well, but I usually meet friends at the big downtown fountain for some "mom time". Great topic, by the way.
I enjoy making ice creams and cook food for my family.. It is a very interesting idea and I love it!
I enjoy drawing out in the parks,water parks,cooking outdoors. I am learning to skateboard and roller blade
Going to the beach! Or when I'm really bored it's fun to make a little extra money and do stuff for neighbors. <3
Sailing on the ocean under a full moon...skinny dipping....but then again, camping, hiking, horse back riding, cycling... anything outdoors are my favorite things.
Sitting outside on my parent's deck, it backs up to woods so the scenery is perfect and her perfectly coordinated outdoor patio furniture is so comfy we would rather be outside than in! All the grandchildren play in the pool and the grass, and we grill out for dinner
Going out to play beach vball or heading out for a walk along the beach

I, personally, have two breeds that tie in my heart- the American Pit Bull Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier. Odd picks, I know, but eh I love em... Can't wait for another. I currently have 1 of each. When my APBT pup is no longer a pup, I'm split between which to bring home. I'd love to find a...
