Now THIS is summer

We've had beautiful weather for the past couple of days and everything is starting to get color. The UP has to be one of the nicest places to be in the summer, since its rarely unbearably hot. There's water all around for swimming, fishing, sailing, kayaking, etc..
In my mind, there's no better place to be. I'm already bugging Shannon about buying property up here. Ideally, I'd have 40 acres of wilderness right next to some national forest (maybe throw a creek or a pond in there). We could just build a cozy cabin and retire. This is my goal in life.
Vern was showing a particular interest in a Tulip this afternoon, so we snapped a few pictures.
