Fall tends to be a great time of year many of us love because of the cooler weather, the changing trees, and the multitude of fall events that keep our weekends packed with fun.
What are your family traditions in the fall? If you're on the search for ideas to make this season special for your family, we have an alphabet of ideas for you!
Here's our ABC fall bucket list:
Apple picking. Find an orchard near you!
Bake. Apple pie is a great place to start!
Camp. Fall is the perfect time of year for camping. Spend your day hiking under beautiful gold and red trees and cuddle close during the cool nights by a campfire.
Drive. Take a scenic fall drive and find new places to explore.
Explore a local museum. A cold or rainy fall day is the perfect time to finally explore that museum you've been meaning to take the family to see.
Fall festivals. Because they're so much fun!
Ghost stories. Pull up chairs around a backyard campfire for some spooky Halloween stories.
Haunted house. Boo!
Invite friends over for a soup or chili potluck. Everyone brings their family's favorite for sharing!
