A Day Trip to Linville!

This past weekend, we headed to Marion since it will be the last weekend for a long while before we can go again. We hung out at Mom's and then headed to Linville for the day on Sunday. The leaves were beautiful, but not as vibrant as they were last year. Here's our weekend in pics!!

Punkins, Punkins everywhere!

Love fall! Love decorating for fall, especially outside. Check out all the punkins!

This is what I created at Mom's house on her front porch, inspired of course, by Southern Living. My Daddy would have loved this as much as Mom did!

Love this....a field full of pumpkins at Carrigan Farms.

At my house!

Stone Mountain, NC!

Sunday's beautiful weather lured us into the mountains for a day of hiking. I had always heard of Stone Mountain in North Carolina, but had never been there. I had been to the Stone Mountain in Georgia on my senior trip.....oooohhhh, SEVERAL years ago. Anyway, we took off Sunday morning for a day trip.....and only an hour away, we started our hike....and we hiked....and we hiked...and a gazillion miles later, or so it seemed, we conquered the mountain. Really, it was only five miles. A good workout too, which with me, is mandatory!

The beginning of our hike. Cammie forgot her jacket, so she wrapped up in a blanket...but shed it soon!

At the bottom of the falls.

"Rotten Bananer". It's really a leaf, but Brooke was in rare form.

She decided she wanted to be a super hero. Glad she didn't think about jumping off the rock to see if she could really fly! Silly Goose!

Holding up the rock!

Resting after 3 million stairs....and 1.5 miles to go!

We did it!

Yes, we did it. Now, can we please take a nap or go home.....either would be fine!

What a day!!
