Beginning of Autumn

We did have a few things going on in September...

First we went up north to spend a night in Traverse City while Jeff was attending a conference. Maya and I tested the pool several time at the Grand Traverse Lodge.

Then we headed to Mackinaw for the weekend.

We did the obligatory activities on Mackinac Island.

Carriage Ride.... check

Butterfly Gardens....check

fudge....check

pasties...check, gag

Last week the Carrolls visited. Maya had so much fun with Aunt "Corntee" and happily played the star of the show for Grandma & Grandpa.

Maya has been so hopped up on horses after Mackinac (a car-less island) & visiting Shipshewana (Amish Country) with the Carrolls.

Now she is constantly announcing to us that "I like Hoses!"
