I live in Northern Lower Michigan so it gets a decent amount of cold here and we get an even more decent amount of snow, which i don't like. So, when summer ends, i literally pine away for the next summer to appear. With 4 kids, the summers get pretty crazy and even more so the older my kids get. I have a senior, an 8th grader and a 5th grader so never a dull moment (i also have a stepdaughter but she's away for part of the summer so i don't have pics of her) S
