I'm interrupting the last post [or two] about my recent trip to Paris, France to write about last weekend's outing. My hubby and I left Sunday morning to pick up our granddaughter, Isabella, and her college roomate, Grace, at Michigan State University and take them to Zeeland with us. They had a four-day break from school. Grace is from Virginia - too far to go for a four-day break - so Izzy invited her home.
The drive was beautiful with the trees displaying their fall colors. They're not quite at their peak, but close. I had to be quick to get the photos while traveling on the expressway.
Izzy and Grace kept busy in the kitchen making 'pizza pumpkins'. I made an Apple Crisp to add to their culinary achievements.
Landon and Ellie were on hand for support and taste-testing!
Jerry and Jeremy watched football in the 'man cave' while Sam and I watched 'All Things Great and Small' [PBS Masterpiece Theater series] in the living room.
On Monday we went to a local blueberry farm market and bought some yummy doughnuts made fresh on the premises.

Then it was back home where Izzy and Grace made 'cinnamon pumpkins'.
After dinner the 49er fans donned their team clothing to watch the 49ers game. Sadly they lost to the Vikings. Landon finished a great season with his school's football team and had tryouts for the basketball team earlier in the day.
On Tuesday Izzy got up at 5:30 a.m. to go boxing with her Dad. [She said it was fun.] We left to come back home at mid-morning because I had a late afternoon Dr. appointment. We enjoyed our visit and will probably return soon when Jerry and Landon celebrate their birthdays.
To inject tea in this post, Jeremy enjoyed Harney & Son's Blueberry Green Tea while we were there. I see a tin of it tucked inside his Christmas present. I sipped Harney's Citron Green Tea.
I'll close this post with fall photos from Jeremy and Samantha's backyard. Happy Fall, as we approach the end of October already!
What fun! I'm so glad you could spend time with your family during this lovely fall season.
