The wonderful world of SEASONS!

So one of the great things about having seasons is the seasonal activities. One of which being Cider Mills! Last Monday my roommate Kate and I went to a couple of cider mills. Shortly after I moved here I started hearing people talk about these cider mills and the more I heard the more I wanted to go to one. For one, I heard they had cider which the grocery stores also have but it doesn't get better than getting it straight from the source and I also heard they have homemade doughnuts and well, lets me honest once I heard that I was hooked on the idea. We had a little break from school and took advantage of it by going to not only one but TWO cider mills. They were great! From the first one I got three doughnuts, some cider, and some corn kernels to make popcorn with. The first one didn't have a whole lot going one since one of their big things is apple picking and apparently we were told the apples fell early this year so there were no more on the tree. We were a little bummed but were able to find another cider mill not to far away that was a little bigger. The second one had some fun picture spots, a little farm type thing, and a store where I bought another doughnut. We were also able to watch the whole doughnut making process which was cool. Bottom line cider mills are great and would be a very fun family activity. I kept wishing I could bring all my cousins and family there, to bad we don't have them in California!

Doughnuts fresh out of the maker. They were soooo good.

Making doughnuts. YUM!

Bags and bags of apples. I had just got a bunch at the store so I didn't get any but they all looked great!

Michigan roads in general are pretty crappy but they also seem to have a lot of dirt roads which have LOTS AND LOTS of holes in them. We had to go on one of these lovely dirt roads to get to the cider mills and I was cringing the whole time. This picture does not do it justice but seriously it was like being on the Indian Jones ride at disneyland. I was feeling very bad for the mini.
