We still have a couple more weeks until fall is officially here, but we are already celebrating over here! We just love this time of year, and we absolutely love all things fall! The crisp air, the Halloween decorations, the football games, all the get togethers. It really is such a fun time for kids and families alike! And we have plenty we are adding to our fall bucket list! We have just recently started crossing items off our list, but we are sure excited to finish our list over the next couple months!
1.) Go apple picking. We haven’t been yet this year, but we did go blueberry picking and absolutely loved it! The kids had so much fun picking fruit along the way and eating it. They did save some to take home too though. = )
2.) Visit a corn maze. This is another one on my list to take Leighton to this year since she’s getting older.
3.) Go on a hayride. The kids love hayrides, and there are several pumpkin patches where you can go for a ride, pick out a pumpkin and check out the haunted woods.
4.) Jump in the leaves. You’re not living your best life until you’ve jumped in leaf piles.
5.) Go to a fall festival or fair. I crossed this one off a few weeks ago with Leighton and Grayson. They always love the Delta Fair, and Grayson loved the ferris wheel so much!
6.) Visit a pumpkin patch. We go to Priddy Farms every fall, and the kids always have a blast picking out pumpkins, riding the train and hayride and seeing the animals.
7.) Have a family movie night outdoors with popcorn and spooky family-friendly movies. We have already been watching the Nightmare before Christmas nonstop!
8.) Have a scavenger hunt with leaves, rocks, acorns, and pine cones. As a bonus, make art with it after you find it all.
9.) Go on a hike. We got in lots of hiking together in Asheville and Hot Springs, and it is always such a fun fall activity for the entire family.
10.) Decorate or carve pumpkins. The kids recently picked pumpkins from the patch, and we will paint them next week. It’s a lot safer and less messy!
11.) Go on a fall picnic. This is another favorite of ours, and we plan to cross this off this weekend with some nice cool weather!
12.) Roast s’mores over a campfire. We checked this one off our list recently while in North Carolina. The kids can never get enough of number 6.
13.) Decorate the house together for fall/Halloween. The kids had so much fun helping me to add bats on the mantle.
14.) Go trick or treating. We are counting down! The kids have their costumes picked out, and we can’t wait to go together this year. It will be Matt’s first time trick or treating with the kids. = )
15.) Go tailgating at a football game. This is an easy one to cross off our lists with Leighton cheering again this year. We love football season!
We already decorated the house for Halloween back in August, and next month we will do some trick or treating at Disney World, woohoo! We have several of these on our list for some of our trips coming up with the kids too. It’s just so fun to get outdoors in fall and enjoy nature and the weather with the kids! Do you love fall too? What’s on your fall bucket list?
