So sorry it's been far too long since my last post as I have been busy enjoying the beauty of summer in our Michigan! June - August bring the most ideal months of summer here and make our cold, seemingly long winters more worthwhile when we can appreciate the change of seasons that winter brings.
With fall quickly approaching, September 22nd officially, I must mention my husband and I have already enjoyed cider and doughnuts at Robinette's Apple Haus near Grand Rapids, MI. Watching them make fresh apple cider and anticipating a fresh, warm pumpkin spice doughnut tells me it's officially fall here. Robinette's can be a fun family activity as you get lost in the corn maze or you can enjoy wine tasting and a fabulous fall date with your love near the apple orchard. While there I was inspired to make my first ever apple crisp so I bought McIntosh apples. Surprisingly tasty and my hubby approved so I somehow feel more prepared for fall now.
Something fun to anticipate: Grand Rapids will host the world's largest Art Prize this fall, September 22- October 10. The city indoors and out will become an art contest for two weeks! There is so much to see, artists from all over the world will have exhibits in parks, restaurants, office spaces, the river.... (you get the idea). You are encouraged to explore and register to vote to support your favorite entry. Also, during this time the leaves will continue to be changing for what we can expect to be another colorful fall throughout Michigan. Did I mention I'm not looking forward to raking those leaves however?? That is one thing Michigan I can do without...
More to come... I have not even shared my crazy fun summer adventures with you yet! Summer, I miss you already!
