Can you believe that fall is literally only a month or so away. Maybe, my math could easily be off. The summer around here has been incredibly mild, so I don’t find myself hoping for fall to get here as quickly. I am, however, planning several different activities for this fall. Let’s face it, there are certain things your family can only do during the fall months.
#1. Hayrides
My kids are finally old enough that we can do a hayride without anyone falling out. I can’t wait to take my kids to the pumpkin patch and take a hayride together. That is one of my favorite things about fall and I can’t wait to pass it down to my kids!
#2. Apples
I have recently discovered a love for apples and I can’t wait for fall to get here. I’m skimming Pinterest and I see so much stuff that can be made out of apples. I can tell you one thing, my family will be so sick of apples by the end of fall because I have several plans for those gorgeous green and red balls of yumminess.
#3. Leaves
One of my most favorite things to do as a child was to rake leaves and jump in them. Even today, if I see a huge pile of leaves in someone’s yard I will jump. There’s just something about seeing a pile of leaves that takes me back. I can’t wait to enjoy leaves as a family this fall.
#4. Chilliness
I know that enjoying the chilliness as a family sounds a little crazy, it’s so true! I love taking walks outside with the family and just enjoying the briskness of fall. Of course, we’ll grab our sweaters and maybe our scarves, but it will be a fun time.
I admit that fall is my favorite time of the year, but I’m not wishing away summer anytime soon.
Which season is your favorite?
YVONNE WOODSTOCK says
Fall is my favorite season! I love all the things you mentioned and pumpkin flavored and scented everything.. fall fashions, Halloween, Thanksgiving, My husband’s birthday, our wedding anniversary and more.
Heather McCarty says
Fall is one of the nicest seasons where it’s not to cold yet and the leaves are changing. I like all these ideas and the raking leaves is a child hood memory.
James Robert says
It is fun for the kids in the Fall time and remember as a kid building forts using leaves. We used our imaginations back then and had a great time doing it. Seems the summer went by too quick and fall in among us
Veronica Lee says

I love the fall season but always dread it at the same time. It means snow right behind. But, I still love the colors and briskness of it. Thanks for sharing.
Heather Garcia says
Spring!! Spring is my favorite time of year. The colors the flowers the smells, I love it all. I am not a big fan of balmy weather but your suggestions sound fun.
Ronald G says
Summer is my favorite season. But I wish I would have read this blog before we had the kids out to the lake this summer. Great ideas..thank you

We love to go pick apples and they have a special weekend at the Apple Farm where I can go and pick apples and have a hayride. I also like the hot apple pie and cider that is served at the farm. It is a great family fun day that we do every Fall.
