Smoky Mountains

About two months ago I told Adam I wanted to the Smoky Mountains for my birthday. We didn't think it would actually happen, but we did and it was one of the most amazing trips I have ever taken. We decided to go a week before my birthday in hopes of seeing the beautiful fall colors the park has to offer in October. And it was gorgeous! All the regulars to the park kept telling us the colors weren't as beautiful this year, but I surly thought it was still awesome colors everywhere. It even snowed while we were there! How perfect it that?! Here are somepictures from our trip.

Campfire Banana Splits...don't worry we liked these so much we had them everyday!

That's a black bear, but I made the mistake of giving the camera to Adam and he didn't know how to focus using my dad's camera

This mouse woke me up before daylight scurrying around over our tent for over an hour, I found it in the wood box when I finally gave in and got up
