Fall Is Here!!!

This past weekend we (Karra, Nikki, Shannon and I) went up to the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the beautiful fall colors. We walked around a lake on the Parkway near Blowing Rock.


Here are some photos that were taken by our resident photographer, Nikki!






The map that will help guide us..... if we can read it! We got on the wrong trail that if we had kept on it, we probably still would have been walking!
Karra was instructing us on which way we needed to go................ (good thing we followed her instruction!)
Some photos of the beautiful leaves.





Now, we had to walk through the swamp to get around the lake....


But isn't it a pretty view?
Nice red leaves


This is one of my favorite pictures!


Karra contemplating life....

One of the bridges over the stream that fed into the lake.


Looking out over the rolling hills
The photos can't begin to show the rich colors that we saw or the beautiful rolling hills! Hopefully these photos show that we had such a fun day on the Blue Ridge Parkway!
