Spicer's

Our good friend, Elina stayed with us the month of September and her last Saturday here we went to one of the many MI apple orchards. Spicers in one of my favorites because it has everything! You can pick all kinds of berries throughout the summer, apples in the fall. They have a corn maze, a nice kids play area and hay rides that take you out to pick the apples. Their cider and fresh doughnuts are to die for.
Elina, Adalin and I had never done a corn maze before, so that was the real reason for this trip. The weather was gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better day.

Adalin the Brave

So, Adalin's first day of school was today. It is just preschool (because she misses the cutoff for kindergarten by 2 months) but seems more like for-real school because she actually rides the bus! All who know miss Adalin know that new things to her are always very difficult to conquer. I made a bet with Adam that she wouldn't get on the bus, he bet that she would. Adalin's track record definitely predicted that I would win this bet, but I didn't! She was SO excited about riding the bus that when it finally came (20 minutes late) she just climbed right on and hardly looked back! I am so proud of her!
