Summer in Indiana 2025

I’m thankful for how often we get back to Indiana given how far away we live. Summer is a fun time for us to visit since Dad and Mom have a pool and that is a big hit with the family.

Our trip this year included:

  • A visit to the South Bend Chocolate Factory where Elijah got to chat with the owner who gave him a free shark tooth from their dinosaur museum.
  • A walk along the St. Joseph River in the evening to see their light display.
  • Visiting with Grandpa, Aunt Laura, and Mari
  • Rafting down the Eastrace Waterway
  • Exploring the beach, lighthouse, and carousel in St. Joseph
  • Roasting marshmallows over the firepit
  • Target practice with Elijah stepping up to his first experience with a .410

And all of that was interspersed with lots of conversation, swimming, and delicious food. Thank you Dad and Mom for hosting all of us!
