Fall Foilage

Upon a recommedation from Jessi (she got it from The Morning Show I think) we decided to drive around and look at the fall colors as they were in their prime for the state of Minnesota. I know we sound like old people, but we took off driving that afternoon and had a good time. Jason hand't ever been to Marshall (west of RWF) so we took off in that direction- we saw harvesting, but there aren't many trees in SW MN so we didn't get to see many trees. I had the map and tried to get Jason to keep driving west once we got to Marshall- we were only another 45 minutes or so away from South Dakota and I wanted to go there, but he caught on to my plan and headed south. I found Camden State Park on the map so decided to check it out. I think we missed the prime time by a week or so, but we still had fun and got to see the park. It was really nice and we walked a couple of trails, saw a deer, and I took lots of pictures.

Getting ready to head out on our drive

Many of the trees had already lost their leaves, but it was still a beautiful day at the park

One of our many poses together- thanks to the rock that held the camera! Jason checking out the scenary after using the stepping stones to get across the little creek

This was not a posed picture- Jason seriously almost fell walking back

Jason absolutely loved posing for my picture requests.

I am a little clumsy and Jason was nervous when I walked out of the rocks- I almost slipped, but only once!

A lake that was actually for swimming and had a "beach" on the other side Our poses together were based on wherever I could find an object to sit the camera, set the timer, and make it to where Jason was standing. They didn't turn out too bad though.

We had a great time in the park- we saw many people out having picnics and family gatherings- it was such a beautiful day. It was a nice break from work and a relaxing Sunday afternoon! Thanks for the activity suggestion Jessi!

Here are a few pictures on our way home of the scenary. This picture shows just how many trees there are in southwest Minnesota.
