My mom came up this weekend, and boy does she have good timing. It was our annual Harvest Fest Weekend here, and it's the best time of year to convince someone to move to this area. The colors haven't changed completely yet, but I think all the fun activities and the Farmer's Market more than made up for that.
I took this while my daughter was petting a baby bunny (is there a name for that? Bunling? Little bun?) at the petting zoo.
Speaking of my daughter, this is her as a kitty. Her little "meow" made my heart melt!
My son (ever so cool, of course) went with the black widow. I think it looks like he got punched in the face, but I didn't share that with him. ;)
Proof that I exist...
At 2:00, all the store owners came out and passed out candy to the Trick or Treaters! Because I'm a bad parent, my kids didn't dress up (we literally went and got their costumes that night).
However, the store owners became witches, bunnies, and princesses. It was fun to see!
And finally, I'll leave you with some North American eye candy.

Thank you for your small town tour....I live in a small town too and it is the best. Have a great week. B
Such pretty fall pics - now where are you from? And I'm a sucker for a cat - your daughter looks adorable!
Really pretty! I love fall and am a total sucker for changing colours!!
What a gorgeous town!!! Great pictures and looks like you had a lot of fun!!! I LOVE living in a small town, there is always so many fun things the town does that you just can't do in a big city!
That's fun! The trees are beautiful!
We live in the county seat, so we have a courthouse square with all of the cool antique shops, bars, diners, etc. They do "Scare on the Square" for the kids, similar to your area.
What a beautiful town! I love the little festivals in the small towns. Your kids are adorable!
Thats the kind of life I like too! I live it everyday also. Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see the Christmas Life.
You chillins are so cute!
Oh great now I want to pack my bags.... Wish our town looked liked yours... need a neighbor?

SO pretty! I loved Michigan in the fall!! I hope it's as pretty in November when we are there...or at least a nice blanket of snow. :o) Your kids are so cute...your daughter is a mini-me of you!
Be-utiful!
what a beautiful little town USA! I love it! I would move there-if I didn't love my great state and if my family wasn't here. Lets be serious-I don't want to move cause my family is here. I love and NEED my family WAY to much! It looks like you all had a great time! Candy YUM!

Trick or treating this far away from the Big Day? You really do live in a cool town! Ever heard of Stars Hollow? (Gilmore Girls reference).
we live in a small town and i love it!
I love small town USA. Makes me really homesick for PA. Enjoyed your pix!
Love the fall colors. We don't have that here in So. California. Glad I could enjoy it through you. I love small town USA. I am a country girl at heart, I think! Love all things country but have been a city girl all my life. My mom grew up on a farm in North Dakota so I think she shared the love of country with me. Connie
I love your Fall pictures. Sounds like you all head such a wonderful time.
When you get a chance please stop by my blog I have an award for you.
Congratulations!!!
Have a wonderful evening,
Tam
Oh, your little piece of fall heaven is making me jealous! No fall here in Houston, ever! Lucky you! Enjoy and have some apple cider for me, please!
Those pictures are great!
I would love to live in a small town again.
Right now we live in the largest town in Massachusetts.
What wonderful pictures! I need to start looking at my small town and appreciating it the way you do. How fun!
Hi... We just recently bought a house in the Grand Rapids area... I think we went to your home town for dinner... and we walked around the dam after wards... Such a cute town... want to go back when the shops are open..!
