Summer is finally here!

It seems like spring drug on forever here in Northern Indiana, not that we would complain. A few days ago was the official first day of summer and we have been feeling it since! A high of 92 degrees, grass fading to brown as well as some storms rollin' in tonight from Illinois prove that summer has arrived. Crops are popping up all over the place and everything seems to be doing well compared to last years drought.

This is what the whole northern half of Indiana is looking at for tonight...

So far in the NoCo area we have had one canoe trip as well as a few mud bogs here and there. Not much lake action happening so far and we all most definitely forget to take pictures! This year has flown by so fast for most of us here, we cannot even keep up with our own lives let alone try to share it!

Our cousins just got home a week ago from their Austria trip and it looked like it was a blast! You can follow their adventures on https://www.facebook.com/pages/GSE-Austria-2013/137719339728169. She had some amazing photos from Untersberg Mountain, the Alps...

Isn't she awesome!? 

Camping season is in full force and Chain O' Lakes is hoppin'! Pink tagged vehicles coming from the campground pass our house at least once a day. If you have never been to the state park, we recommend it! In fact, we encourage you to check out the nature center activities, the school house and canoe or kayak down the winding, wooded lakes. http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2987.htm Check out the dates for the floating campfire... pretty rad. https://www.facebook.com/chainolakessp?fref=ts
