I finally got to check out the world’s longest timber-towered suspension bridge at boyne.mountain . I highly recommend it! The colors right now might be some of the best that I can remember!

We saw the sun! So we went people-watching to explore what “ski culture” looks like in northern Michigan. Spoiler alert: not for me. But many excellent uses of “haus.”

Life is funny isn’t it?
It involves twists and turns and never quite follows a straight line.
But here’s the thing, the good stuff is when you ignore the arrows pointing straight ahead to the easy road only to find that the magic was in going the route you never imagined. I’m pretty sure that both of the families involved would say that that route let us to hanging here at the bottom of the mountain together laughing over life’s path and being reminded how grateful we all are to share a bond unlike any other.
Yep, life is funny.

Pictured here:
Two moms bonded by their biological children enjoying a little spa time at the resort. We snuck away to chat about life and kids and our adoption stories.
It was cut short after I received a text from the big boys (aka, the dads), who decided it was time for the four of us to sneak away and have a cocktail around an outdoor fire while we let the kids loose on the slopes.

#tbt to last weekend’s Boyne trip! #boynemountain #powderrangers ...

Northern MI did NOT disappoint! Had fun in almost 4 ft of snow tubing, skiing, and sledding! Enjoyed some QT time with Dana & Steve too! ❤️ #allthewinterthings #boynemountain #waloonlake ❄️ ...

#Deserve2Preserve Tuesday our weekly co-challenge with oldhouselove starts with Carrie's pick. A gorgeous golden brick home waiting for some love. Hoping she is restored.
Regran_ed from shmemilys - I’ve wanted to photograph this house since the first ski trip to Boyne Mountain probably 12 years ago. I finally got gas at the station across the street and started to ask the guy about it. He said people are sometimes there and sometimes theyre not. It would be a cool bed and breakfast but who knows what they have in store for it.
I would kill to get inside and I think I would die if I had the opportunity to restore it. I’ve never asked the insta world anything... but does anyone know anything about this beauty?

#micamp #gis #conference had a great time at #boynemountain the past few days. Met some great people and saw beautiful sites #puremichigan ...

Made it over to the Skybridge at Boyne Mountain. Pretty cool experience. Weird to ride a chairlift in the summer and then to ride it back down. The view was pretty spectacular. #skybridge #boynemountain #puremichigan #girlsdayout #suspensionbridge #notafraidofheights #itswaysthough 😱#viewforever #summerchairlift ...
