The stay-at-home order in Michigan has been lifted and our mitten state is looking pretty good as far as new coronavirus cases go — and that means some in-person events for families are returning.
Still, some families may not be comfortable getting out and about just yet, so we’ve tweaked our roundup of things to do this weekend to include some virtual activities, at-home options and a few in-person events (when we can find them) to keep all families covered all weekend long.
Remember, if you choose to head out to an in-person event you should still be practicing social distancing, washing your hands often and wearing a mask whenever possible.
