This morning we went to Wasem Fruit Farm to pick pumpkins with a few friends. Their Facebook page said they only had Granny smith apples for picking, so we did not plan to pick apples. However, when we arrived, we found the they were picking Ida Reds as well. There were 3 families in our

Judging by the lines just to enter the door at the new Lego Store in Somerset Mall this weekend, I would say a Lego Store in Michigan was long overdue. My husband is a big Lego fan and is converting our daughter. We had heard that a Lego Store would be opening up in Somerset
