Higgins Lake

The first weekend in October John, myself, the kids, one of my sisters, and my parents all went to Higgins Lake for the weekend. It was a nice relaxing, stress free weekend and we had a great time. The cabin was also great too, we had our own bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, etc. not what a normal cabin is (mine kind of vacationing, a home away from home) Loved It!!!!

This is the lake it was beautiful especially with the morning sun refelecting off of it. Apparently it is the 6th most beautiful lake in the world, and the locals don't let you forget, everywhere I looked there was an advertisement about it being the 6th most beautiful lake in the world.

This is the view from the back door of our cabin, notice in the background how far away the boat is docked. All the boats were like that because it was so shallow at the shore. At the end of the dock the water still wouldn't have come up to the kids knees. (this happens to be the only picture I took all weekend that contained Carter :( in my defense the kid refused to be in pictures!)

The local town was having a "Harvest Festival" so we decided to check it out. It actually wasn't much of a festival at all, they had the pony rides and antique tractors, no hay rides or anything that would say to you Harvest Festival. Oh well the girls had fun riding the horses. The horse that Ash is on was the lead horse he always did the opposite of what the trainer wanted him to do. If the trainer commanded him to go he would stop and vice versa, it was really funny!
Hannah absolutely loved riding the pony, she had a smile on her face the entire time, and now all we hear about is the ponies. We had to get her one of those horse heads on a stick, and she loves it never puts the thing down, money well spent on our part :0)


I just had to giggle when I found Ashleigh in the hammock, she bought a harmonica at one of the local gift shops and just hung around all afternoon in the hammock playing her harmonica. All I have to say is thank goodness the hammock was outside because she's a little rusty with the harmonica.

Can I just say one thing, notice how every one had on coats and a sweatshirt, and sometimes even gloves IT WAS SO COLD UP THERE!
