Fabulous Fall

We decided to take advantage of the warm 80 degree temperature in October and make a trek out to the beach since Tim was headache free. These occassions are rare, so we try to make use of them to build some family memories.The drive from Cascade to Grand Haven was like taking a mini color tour. All the rain in September has apparently helped the trees hang on to their leaves longer as they change color. 

We love North Shore in Spring Lake. You can walk along the shoreline for miles and enjoy the sand dunes, beach, and  bathe in the light that dances across the water. One of the best times to visit the "Big Lake" is in the fall. The wind creates such interesting patterns, there are less people, and the colorful tree makes such a nice backdrop to the sparkling watrer and blue skies! The fresh produces stands were all open so of course we brought home some prize pumpkins. Fall in Michigan is a delight for the sensesw.
