Saturday morning, Jess and Andy had planned to go downtown Grand Rapids and visit their favorite coffee shop, Madcap. Well, as it would happen, it was closed for that day only. Apparently, they were preparing for a movie shoot by removing the windows and putting in different ones to prepare for a shooting scene. (Yes, we have been having several movies being shot in Grand Rapids and other Michigan cities, due to the tax incentives for filming.)
When Jess and Andy got back, we all headed out to the Bosch Christmas Tree Farm in Allendale. After searching awhile, we finally found "the one." The Bosch Tree Farm is so family oriented. They have a horse-drawn wagon ride for the kids, Santa was visiting, and they had a photo-op tree to have your picture taken. Inside where you go to pay, they had a snack bar of sorts and were serving hot cider or hot chocolate and donuts and other items for purchase. They had pre-cut trees there for purchase as well as wreaths and other decorations. We highly recommend it to any family wanting to cut a Christmas tree. It was so nice to also see the owners/Freedom friends, Brian and Cim Bosch.
After lunch, they had to quickly get ready for the wedding they had come home for, so they didn't take part in the decorating of the tree. Keith and I relaxed awhile and watched some football on television and even took a nap. Early in the evening, he brought the tree inside and set it up, and then I was able to get the decorations on it
Sunday after church, Jess and Andy took us out for lunch. We had a nice time visiting and then came home and relaxed before they had to head back to the airport for their return flight. Even though it was another short visit, we had a great weekend together and made some nice memories together.
