I’m baaaack!  It happened at first by accident, then on purpose. I needed a little blog vacation and actual vacation. I’m back from both.

We’ve just returned from Higgins Lake. It’s just north of Houghton Lake. My husband used to camp there with his family 25+ years ago and he wanted to go back (but in a cabin with lights and plumbing…Robin doesn’t do camping…but that’s a blog post for another day).

Let me just say, if you have little kids with any sort of water phobia (or are a parent with little kids who don’t have a water phobia but you are pone to water/kid related panick attacks…ahem…like me) Higgins Lake is the place to go.  No seaweed. Crystal clear water with a white sand bottom as far as you can see. At our particular cabin, the water was no more than 3 feet deep for nearly 1/2 mile from shore. Mahvelous!

I’m standing in waist-deep water here.

Our friend visited with his son for part of the week. Jim posed them for this one (after he and I got in a debate about how to line ‘em up…it’s see evil, hear no evil, speak no evil right???)

A rare moment of sibling tranquility.

And here’s one for your Monday Morning Mental Health Break. Ahhhhhh.

Hopefully, we’ll make it back there someday
