Today marks the first official day of summer and I'm sure you already planned your summer vacation with your family with lots of water. Who wouldn't, right?! Summer is all about fun, relaxation, and a lot of family oriented activities. 

We are lucky that Indiana has tons of events and fun activities for kids and of course, events for adults to go to every week, or every month. I can definitely say that our summer won't be boring. However, if you do not have any summer plans yet, you can just plan a trip and cool off the summer heat in one of the Water Parks around Indiana. 

Since today is the Summer Solstice, I would like to share 5 Fun Facts about June Summer Solstice, 2016:

• Today is the Summer Solstice, which would mean, we have a longer day. Read more at www.ibtimes.com.
• This year, the summer solstice matches up with a strawberry moon. It's just a full moon that occurs in June and the first summer solstice since 1967 that coincides with the strawberry moon. Read more at www.ibtimes.com.
• The earliest sunrise happens a few days before, and the latest sunset takes place a few days after, the June Solstice. www.timeanddate.com.
• The June Solstice is the only day of the year when all locations inside the Arctic Circle experience a continuous period of daylight for 24 hours. Read more at www.timeanddate.com.
• The Earth is actually farthest from the Sun during this time of the year. Read more at www.timeanddate.com.
