It's fair to say, especially here in Wisconsin, that we live for summertime.

Shorts, T-shirts, flip-flops and trips to the lake. Brats, burgers, corn on the cob and a cold beer. Fishing trips. Vacations. Backyard parties. Summer is a time for carefree fun and relaxation.

It's also a time for ritual and tradition. Do you have an annual cookout? Maybe a yearly family vacation -- perhaps to the same destination.

This week, we'd like to know what is your signature summer tradition or ritual?
