Uncle John's Cider Mill

October 2-4 we spent the weekend in Michigan. When Ryan and I met we were living in Lansing and a little bit north of the city there was a cider mill that we LOVED to go to even as adults. I just remembered there being SO much stuff and they had amazing donuts and cider which was just an added bonus, not to mention they had a winery there too. Now that we're living in Ohio we knew we had to take Dominick since it was one of our favorite places to go in the fall as a couple. We picked a weekend that worked for us and my parents to make sure they were in town and went. Unfortunately for us the weather pooped on us with temperatures barely reaching 50 and it was raining and windy. We decided to bundle up and still go and it ended up being a great day. Dominick was a huge fan of the donuts and cider, he said, "mmmm I love this juice" with a mouth full of donut. Most of the outdoor activities weren't running (the train, hay ride, etc.), but he played on the wood play sets and had the best time. The one thing he was MOST excited for was picking out his pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. He searched and searched before finding the "perfect" one. It was 37 lbs which is only 1 less lb that what he weighs and was pleased as punch with his selection. We stopped by the winery and picked up some wine and hard cider to complete our day before heading home. I think this was a huge success despite the weather for Dom, Ryan and I.
