Mine would have to be wakeboarding. I won't be doing much of that this summer, but anything on a boat is pretty awesome.
Others?

Those all sound pretty damn good to me YM summer party?! Although I tend to think of G&T as a winter drink.

What's a float trip?
Maybe along with activities, we can share our favorite summer drink recipes ;D Watermelon margaritas, anyone?

float trip: You drag a raft or multiple rafts out into the middle of a big body of water. bring a cooler and snacks. float until you're too drunk to keep floating.

Sounds like fun to me!! I'd think drunk people would be more buoyant.

Blasphemy, you don't know what a float trip is?!?!?!?!?! Exactly what it sounds like. You grab a canoe, kayak, raft or tube and you float down a river (with some paddling involved). We took DS on his first one on Friday. He had a blast. We were only going to let him do the quarter because our cabin was a quarter of the way through the trip. But he was having such fun, we let him do the whole thing. He loved it. We had rafts and tubes since there were 14 of us (6 kids). DS loved the tube with the mesh bottom better than the raft. Even though we had him tied off on the raft, he was a smart cookie and held on to the back of the raft. His cousins weren't nearly as smart. THe best part was that my dad, brother, BIL, and DH did all the paddling (we had a headwind and we weren't floating too fast).

"Bass Trackers, Bayliners, and a party barge....strung together like a floatin' trailer park...."
I miss those good ol' days down in Party Cove at the lake. Complete with a visit to Docknockers on the way home....
Now I am a boring old married lady with a kiddo. Ha!

We usually have at least one boat, a jet ski, a tubing tube with a cooler bungie corded in, and a really big raft.

Backyard BBQ's with good friends. I love summer activities with DS; riding bikes in the park, playing in the splashpads, outdoor movies. This morning I took DS to the local amusement park. We had a blast until DS saw a costumed chipmunk. He freaked out.. Guess we'll wait on Disneyland.

Backyard barbeques, going down the shore, tailgating Phillies games, tubing down the Delaware, canoeing. I want to start kayaking and/or canoeing, but my boring DH is all like "no, kayaking is dumb!" Sigh. I love going to the beach. DH and I like walking the boardwalk early in the day and sitting by the docks. The sounds of the waves crashing against the shore and the cries of seagulls IS summer to me.
