Michigan Weekend {in September}

Back in mid-September, Tessa and I took a mommy-and-me trip to Michigan for a weekend. It was a lot of fun and we got to see so many extended family members during our trip!

The first day we had a family gathering at a hotel/water park to celebrate my aunt's birthday. Tessa had an absolute ball and was quite the daredevil on all of the water slides.

The next day, we headed to my Dad's and took a trip to a nearby farm.  We loved the scenery there -- not to mention the cider and donuts!

Tessa also got her first guitar lesson with Poppa's new guitar!

And, before we left, we had one more visit with my Grandma.  She left to spend the winter in AZ a few weeks later. 

So long, Michigan!  See you next time!
