I grew up with the best of both worlds - grandparents in the city and up north (as we call it in MI) during the summer and the farm/country life. So fun to be jumping in the lake one weekend and then visiting the farm and feeding the cows, pigs, chickens, duck - you never knew who would end up on the dining room table for the holidays...lol. My grandma's two questions I will never forget were "have you had your hug today" and "how do you know you don't like it until you try" - they resonate with me to this day. I was so blessed to have my grandparents growing up.

I can’t speak for FreeBird07 but we spent summers In Harrisville, MI and oh what fun! My grandpa built a small A-frame on Lake Huron and I lived in the water, caught frogs, rode bikes, petosky collected down to the lighthouse, etc. We still own it and split time between there and Boyne City. You?
