The summer months seem to be filled with family vacations with immediate and extended family.  And, as much fun as they can be, they can also be stressful.  The stress is usually an indicator that there is something "undone" in a relationship.  If you are not in the place emotionally (or perhaps it may not be the right time to address the situation) a good solution is to walk away for a moment, collect your thoughts, and figure out what you need to do to take care of yourself until the time is right to address the issues. Sometimes you might need a third party to help sort it through. Objectivity is important in order to maintain and grow a relationship. 

Don't let undone issues get in the way of good family time this summer. At some point, take the time to work them through.
