I love Fall! The weather cools off, the trees change color, and the type of season-specific Fall activities you can do with the family are so fun!
Here’s a list of my 30 favorite fall activities that you might also enjoy with your own families:
- Visit a local farmer’s market and find all the best pumpkins
- Apple picking at a local orchard and homemade caramel apple making
- Backyard bonfires with s’mores
