Henry's First Trip - Port Austin, MI


Micheal and I took Henry on his first trip to Grandpa's cottage in Port Austin, MI.  We has a lot of fun together! On Friday, we visited the Flower Farm to pick out Henry's first pumpkin.  It was chilly, but we found a nice sized pumpkin for Henry and took some fall family photos. We also stopped at a local winery and sampled some local wines.  It wasn't Traverse City wine quality, but we picked up a white pinot noir.  On Saturday, Grandpa showed off baby Henry to his cottage friends.  Many people were up, closing up their cottages for the winter. Later we went to Janik's Orchard to get cider and donuts and found that they also had  a pumpkin patch. Henry wanted no part of the pumpkin patch though...he was getting hungry.  After we fed and changed him we were back on the road.  We decided to go to another orchard because Janik's didn't have caramel apples.  What's a visit to a cider mill without caramel apples??? We got the BEST caramel apples from Leipprandt's Orchard.  They were dipped in a thick, creamy caramel and rolled completely in nuts. Yum...they were delicious! After our orchard outings we went back to the cottage and hung out.  Grandpa cooked an awesome stew and Michael and I snuck out for a walk on the beach while Henry was napping.  Sunday, we took Henry for a walk down to the beach.  Henry truly enjoyed his first of many trips to Port Austin and grandpa's cottage:)
