Sunday after church we took a trip up to Shenandoah Park to see the Fall leaves. Thankfully they held on much later than "season-ly normal" this year because we didn't have a chance to get around to it before this weekend. They were still gorgeous, albeit a little more sparse than they probably were a week or two ago.
We stopped by "Little Washington" on the way there. Such a cute little town. We dreamed about being so rich one day that we could easily rationalize the exorbitant rates to stay and dine at the Inn at Little Washington.
We also stopped by one of the numerous apple farms along the way to grab a bag of delicious fresh from the tree apples.
Once we got to camp we enjoyed our hobo dinners which Blake lovingly called "cigarette steak" and finished things off with yummy s'mores.
You can't really tell because my camera is far from fancy and amazing...but the leaves were still quite beautiful behind us! 
Our fellow travel companions, Kayla and Blake
The wood foragers looking very official. Actually I think I gathered the most wood thank-you-very-much.
What a beautiful roaring fire! Good thing...because it was CHILLY as evident by my red nose.
Kayla and Blake dueled with flaming swords...we had to pull them off each other.
Kayla (much to the boys' chagrin) had tons of fun experimenting with "gourmet" campfire recipes. Here she is delighted with her creation of an M&M stuffed marshmallow. Ha ha.

It looks like you all had a good time. I love the fall, it is my favorite season, mainly because of the beauty of the changing leaves.

What great fun that must have been. Oh and I will be trying the m&m stuffed marshmallows on my next camping trip
The leaves in your pictures are so pretty! Our fall came and went in about 2 seconds here in Chicago.
