Here are pictures from before Halloween to mid November. We had a great time on our vacation to the Smokey Mountians. We did lots of hiking and touring. We stayed in the National Forest about two miles away the National Park so our cabin was right in the middle of the mountains. We could not have picked a better place to stay. The time of year was perfect. The leaves were the most beautiful colors and the Mountains looked like they were glowing with orange, gold, brown, yellow, red, and green. It was breathtaking.

This was the drive to our cabin. We stayed on a little creek called Caney Creek.

Veteran's Day

Garrett at this mirror maze. He kept running into the mirror thinking it was the right way. It was super funny.

We took him to the aquarium and he LOVED it. He was so excited to touch the sting rays. He wasn't scared at all.

Our view on the hike up to the highest point in the Smokeys.

At the very top.

Abbey had the best ride of all. I was thankful I had been working out. It was a tough hike.

Garrett and Abbey hanging out in our cabin before bed time.

These pictures are a little out of order but on the way to TN my sister was passing through so we got to meet up with her for dinner. It was a total suprise but I was glad it worked out.

In Winston-Salem.

I love the fall so much.

Abbey is saying "Mom look at where Daddy put me". He thinks it's funny to put our kids in confined spaces.

Happy Halloween 2008
