Chicago with Ridgewood Gals

I spent the weekend in Chicago with a couple of my college roommates.  We lived on Ridgewood together while we attended Calvin.  Those were the days!  

We did some shopping, had some good talks, and ate dinner with one of our guys.    

Love Chicago!  Love these gals!

Snowmobile Show

We attended the Snowmobile Show in Novi, Michigan earlier this month. It felt like we were a long ways off from snowmobile season, but as I look outside this morning...guess not. We're enjoying snow day #1 for this school year today.

Fall Break in Frankenmuth

We headed to Zehnders for a fall getaway.  It's a waterpark just a couple hours away, and they had fun Halloween activities for the kids.  Oh, did I mention Birch Run outlets too?  The kids swam, played in the arcade, did crafts, and trick 'r' treated throughout the hotel. Frankenmuth has a lot to offer on its own.  We should've stayed longer because we hardly wanted to leave the hotel.

In case you're considering a visit yourself, they just opened up a HUGE addition to their waterpark (a week after we went).  We look forward to visiting again to check this out.
