Weekend Event Round-up: Sept 13-15

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The weather this weekend will be spot on perfect even, fully reminding me about what I love about Michigan in the fall. What makes it even better is that I'll be spending the weekend camping with my daughter and several of her fellow Brownie Girl Scouts! Do you have weekend plans? If not, how about a few of these ideas. You will find family events, and programs for toddlers through teens - Many of the events are free even!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy all that it brings!
