Summer always brings lots of fun to the Greater Lansing Area. With many events in and around the surrounding areas
The class A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, The Lansing Lugnuts, has a full schedule. They provide great entertainment beyond baseball, from the Friday Night Fireworks to Thirsty Thursdays. A night at Oldsmobile Park is great fun for the whole family.

The areas many golf course offer an array of challenges. From the difficult links style course Eagle Eye to the up north style Timber Ridge. Visit Brookshire Inn & Golf Club in Charming Williamston on Lansing's East side for a round of 18 and some of the areas best Steaks and Ribs.
Lake Lansing in Haslett (I know its strange being named Lake Lansing and located outside of Lansing in Haslett) is a great place to take your family to picnic, play Frisbee or just lay on the beach with a good book.
Potter Park Zoo is relaxed pace zoo. A great place to take kids of all ages as they offer many educational classes for children in the 1st through 7th grade.

I know that sports are not what schools are all about but I still enjoy watching the games and the kid's accomplishments. Williamston Schools have enjoyed a phenomenal success this past school year. This small town in the East suburbs of Lansing has won 5 state titles with 1 still to be decided. This past fall the Boys Cross Country team won a state championship (they have been 1st or 2nd 7 out of the last 8 years and the only year they weren't 1st or 2nd they were 3rd or 4th). This spring the Boys Track Team won both the MiTCA and the MHSAA state championship. The girls have won a state Tennis championship, the MiTCA state championship and play for a possible 6th state title on Saturday in Soccer. In the Lansing State Journal High Scholl Power Poll 3 out of the top 4 teams were from Williamston. Not only were the kids excellent on the field but also in the classroom as both the boys and girls cross country team were in the top three GPA's for the state. I know it doesn't mean anything but I am still a proud parent of a Student at Williamston high school (who by the way is a straight 4.o student way to go Josh).
If you would like your kids to go to Williamston and you need to find a home call me.
What a great place to raise a family!!
