Brown County State Park

Don and I recently took a trip to Brown County State Park, outside Nashville, Indiana, to meet up with his family and spend a few days with them. Since they came from Iowa and Michigan, and we from Tennessee, this was a good central location for everyone.

The park itself is very pretty. I think of Indiana as being flat and full of corn fields, but this area was hilly and wooded, with lots of hiking trails and wildlife to spot. We stayed in furnished cabins, but they also have a nice lodge. There is an indoor water park as well as an outdoor pool, and horseback riding is available for a fee. We prepared most of our food in our cabins, but they also had some picnic areas with grills, and we had a cookout one night and celebrated Don’s mom’s birthday. My only complaint was that they didn’t allow dogs in the cabins, so we had to leave ours with my brother and sister-in-law. ) :

I didn’t take many pictures, but here are a few I took of the kids. The two in the picture with Don are Daniel and Cara, children of Don’s twin brother, Dave, and his wife Tricia. The other little boy is Luke, their younger brother. The little girl is Annabel, daughter of Don’s older brother, Doug, and his wife Amy. Don’s parents, Charlie and Marcia, were also there.

I have been blessed with a wonderful family of in-laws, and we had a very nice time on this trip.
