I love that this is my backyard right now. Especially this time of year before it’s completely dead, you can still see the colors and you get to peek into the woods and see the sunrise. I still can’t believe they didn’t put the main bedroom on this side of the house though 🤔both boys get to wake up to an excellent view and we are looking into our neighbors driveway 😂

My Dad drove for a visit and brought along my nephews, Nolan and Dallas. They got in on Friday, at the perfect time since I just had taken the steaks off the grill and was starting to cut them up when they walked in. Levi was a little suspisious of everyone at first, but by the end of the night he was already trying to take snacks from my Dad on the couch and run with the other boys. While they were in town, there was a Halloween festival in my downtown that the boys got to dress up for. My dad and I took all the older boys to Lexington, Michigan while Rachel stayed with Levi so he could nap. The boys got to see Lake Huron, do their kites on the beach (apparently my dad just keeps kites in the back of his trunk… just in case) and then hit up the candy store. Sunday, we went to Activate which was a mix of games that light up on the floor or patterns you follow around and try to solve with others. That one actually looked like a lot of fun to do with just adults as well.

The last time we were here, we drove all the way to Red Rock only to be turned away because they had started doing reservations due to Covid and we didn’t have phone reception to make any. This time it looked like we didn’t need any when we googled but when we arrived we did. We went back to town for some lunch (they ended up giving Owen really spicy mac and cheese) and figured out how to book a reservation, so then headed back there to look around.
