How We Like to Spend Time With Our Families in the Summer

Stefanie's summertime votes are the Peony Garden at the Matthaei Boatanical Gardens and Nicholas Arboretum, the Butterfly Garden at the County Farm Park, and picnic and water spray zone at Independence Lake Park.

Andy recommends the Potawatomi Trail in Pinckney for hiking and biking-- she says to bring bug spray! Andy also canoes on the Huron River and attends free concerts at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival/Top of the Park with her family.

Every summer, Terry heads up north with her family for a week at a cabin on Lake Michigan. She says it is her favorite part of the summer because it is a chance to reconnect, relax, and just be a family without the world getting in the way. She and her family also take walks, have picnics, and take day trips down the river in a canoe.

Laura will take her children golfing, raspberry picking, and head out to Rolling Hills Water Park.

Deanna's favorite family outings are swimming, boating on the Chain of Lakes north of Chelsea, and getting ice cream at Twisters.

You can find Julie kayaking with her family at Hudson Mills, playing badminton, having barbecues in the backyard, or listening to music at Sounds and Sights on Thursday nights in downtown Chelsea. She also recommends berry picking at local u-pick farms.

Leann's family votes for anything water-related: area lakes, including Silver Lake, water parks, including Michigan Adventure, and the swimming pool in their backyard.

Carrie heads back home to the UP every 4th of July and camps with her family. While there Carrie takes her family to all the places she went as a child, including Lake of the Clouds and the Porcupine Mountains State Park.

You can find Meghan heading to the zoo: there's the Detroit Zoo, Toledo Zoo, Binder Park Zoo, and Potter Park Zoo-- all within an hour's drive of the office.

Rachel's favorites are baseball games--Lansing Lugnuts or Detroit Tigers-- and picnics at Half Moon Lake.

In the summer Misha likes to hang out at Tantre Farm on pick up days for our family's CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share, check out new books from the library (Chelsea District Library, Jackson District Libraries, Dexter District Library, Ann Arbor District Library), and participate in art camps at the Chelsea Center for the Arts (or Ella Sharp Museum).

On Scott's list are participating in road races, playing backyard games (soccer, bocce, ghost in the graveyard), hiking at Waterloo Recreation Area and canoeing on area rivers and lakes.
