Fall is my favorite season! I love the crisp coolness and the anticipation of the holiday season. It’s the best time for outdoor activities. If you’re looking for some fun fall activities to do with your spouse or even for a special activity with your kiddos, here are some of my favorite fall ideas:
- Pumpkin carving contest – use a pumpkin carving stencil or free hand!
- Recreate your favorite fall treats
- Apple picking
- Autumn star gazing – if you have access to a truck, you can put an inflatable mattress in the bed of the truck and drive out to a low-light area to stargaze
- Visit a local coffee shop or bakery for fall-flavored treats
- Find a fall festival nearby
- Browse a farmers market and pick up some seasonal foods – perfect for making this butternut squash curry!
