Our weekend in pictures...

My nephew stayed for the weekend and we kicked Friday night off with a couple Goosebumps movies, popcorn and some Jones candy corn soda. yum.

Bright and early the next morning, we set off for the Civil War Re-enactment Camp at a Historical Mill we always love to visit.

Here's Nicholas ready for the day-

The scenery was just breathtaking. We must be near our peak fall foliage here in Michigan. I think I was annoying the family because I just kept going on and on about how beautiful all the colors were.

  7. I love your pictures! I love seeing Fall colors! I haven't seen them in over 4 years when I lived in Northern VA. Fall is so fleeting...you have to drink it all in while you can!
