Fall in West Michigan is hands down my favorite time of year. The crisp air, the stunning colors, and all the seasonal activities make it the perfect excuse to get outside. I love grabbing a pumpkin spice latte and heading to a local farm for a hayride or a stroll through the pumpkin patch. There's just something about picking out pumpkins with friends and family while enjoying the fresh autumn breeze that feels so comforting. And let’s be honest, nothing beats sipping on warm apple cider after a day of exploring corn mazes and soaking in the beauty of fall.

Apple picking is another must-do for me each year. There's something so simple and satisfying about filling up a basket with fresh, juicy apples right from the orchard. It’s not just about the fruit—it’s the whole experience. The local farms are filled with the scent of apples, spices, and hay, and they offer so many fun things to do, from tractor rides to fall festivals.
