Your go-to source for Ann Arbor Family Fun
We went Friday afternoon/evening. We were there from 3:30-8. I found a great spot on Huron St again this year – in a meter with a no parking during the parade sign. However, Ypsi should really look into the epark meters that Ann Arbor has. We had to make a run back to put change […]

I’m hiding from the weather today & wanted to share some recipes I made with all the blueberries I posted about picking on Friday (and also the ones from the previous week). Blueberry Jelly I canned blueberry jelly using the regular Ball powdered pectin and the recipe contained in there. I used two half pint
We spent most of our day in Dexter today. We started out blueberry picking at Dexter Blueberry Farm. There were tons of blueberry bushes. The place is huge. The end bushes on the first few rows were so picked out you could hardly tell they were blueberry bushes. But, we went to rows about 1/2

Today we went to the Toledo Zoo for the first time since the opening of the new children’s area, Nature’s Neighborhood. It was also a Fisher Price play day. To start, my daughter requested the frogs inside the Museum of Science, a change since we usually start with the polar bears. On our way there,

In 2009, when my daughter was 3.5, we visited the Michigan Firehouse Museum in Ypsilanti with her friend, a 4 yr old boy. This review is from then. Hours and admission costs were updated in January 2018. The kids had fun. They loved ringing all the different types of bells that are in the main

These were my daughter’s words last year at 2.5 as we were leaving Art Fair. We had toured Main Street and stopped in a restaurant for dinner and were headed back to our car. She was expecting a fair with rides. She was quite disappointed to find out we were at the fair and there

We took a daytrip today up to Great Lakes Crossing (about an hour away). We were in search of a Disney Store. They have a Disney Store Outlet where we did quite well. They also had a Gap outlet, a Gymboree outlet, a Children’s Place outlet, Carters, and Osh Kosh stores, among others. We had

Went to the Jaycees carnival this afternoon. My daughter had a ton of fun on the rides. I’m seeing a future with lots of trips to Cedar Point & having to ride all the roller coasters with her. She passed up on the carousel as too tame to go on the yellow submarine. I rode
