It was a BEAUTIFUL weekend!!
Ryan, Taylor, and I met up with my parents and uncle Scott for a perfect fall weekend up north! It was peak color in the northern lower peninsula and the color of the trees were amazing! We went to the Apple Festival in Charlevoix on Saturday, along with LOTS of other people! Unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries, and I didn't get any pictures of the actual downtown, but just picture crowds of people, crates and crates of apples, lots of fresh veggies, fresh pies, food vendors, and an art festival, and you get an idea of what it was like. Ryan and I split a HUGE honey crisp apple (that we paid a dollar for :-)), and we split a really tasty apple cinnamon donut with my parents - it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g. Ryan had his first pasty, too, which he really liked! Apples were bought, and applesauce was made that same night - yum!! There also may have been an apple pie purchased that was enjoyed by all (thanks, uncle scotty!).
Here are a few pictures of our weekend!!
The view from the cottage - you know summer is over when the dock is out!

Uncle Scott had the pier to himself (leave it to Scotty to find a peaceful place to relax :-))
The boys watching football (and I was tracking my friend Andrew on my computer as he competed in the Hawaii Ironman triathlon)
Taking a bike ride with dad (we both ended up being warm enough to shed a layer once we got to the top of the driveway - it was so nice out!)

Headed out for our three mile walk
