Go Apple Picking
In our small town, we have an apple orchard where you can either go buy already picked apples or you can pick your own! The children absolutely love this!
Pumpkin Carving/Painting
Now this is an obvious fall activity! We do this every year. My daughter is 5 and my son is 1. So they aren't old enough to carve their own pumpkins. My husband and I carve and hand the kids paint. They go to town and love it.
Watch Football
I personally don't like football but my husband and family are avid football fans! Every Sunday, we go to my parents' house, watch football and eat good food. It's a fall/winter tradition!
Pumpkin Patch
Every year, we go to the pumpkin patch, usually twice. The first time, to get my decorations for outside..the second time, for us all to pick out our pumpkins for carving/painting. The look on the kids' faces while they have free range to pick their own pumpkins is priceless!!
Hayride/Corn Maze
We love hayrides! One of our local farms make a corn maze and have a hayride around the farm every year in October and my family enjoys going there!
Trick-Or-Treat
Now this is an obvious one!! What kid doesn't love dressing up and getting sugary sweets?? Haha I know my kids do!
Rake/Jump in Leaves
Let their imagination soar!! We rake our leaves up to bag them and clean up but can NEVER do that without letting the kids jump and play in them first!! I mean, I might too. Haha!
Have A Camp Fire
We have a fire pit in our back yard! We love building a fire, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows and having cook outs in the summer. Although, nothing beats having a fire on a fall evening in the fresh crisp air.
Halloween Movie Night
Every year, I record Halloween movies on the DVR and we have a movie night complete with snacks, hot cocoa or apple cider and many laughs!
Mountain Ride
One of our favorite passtimes is going for a ride in the mountains. In the fall, it is so much better with the leaves changing and the crisp mountain air.
Make a Pumpkin Pie
Fall simply would not be the same without baking a pumpkin pie!! My daughter loves helping too!
Fall Picnic
Alright, yeah I REALLY enjoy spending times outdoors in the fall. Pack the kids, the husband and the food and get out there and have a picnic!
Decorate
Nothing makes a child more happy than being able to help decorate the home for fall/halloween.
Go For A Walk
My family enjoys going on a nice walk. Baby in the stroller, dog on the leash and we are ready for some family fun and ahem...excercise.
Give Thanks
It is simply amazing talking as a family and finding out what all your husband and kids are thankful for...even when your daughter is thankful for her door, her window and her windows! Haha.
Fair/Festival
My family also enjoys going to a good fair. Hello...fair food!! The kids and husband play games, the kids ride some rides and I go to feed my inner fat kid. 😂😘
Hot Cocoa/Apple Cider
My daughter loves apple juice but apple cider? Not so much...but she can tear up some hot cocoa. I can't choose which one I like more!
Collect Leaves
We love collecting some leaves. They are so pretty! Afterwards, my daughter likes gluing them onto paper!
Cook Thanksgiving Dinner Together
Nothing tastes better than food made with love! Let the kids help you make Thanksgiving dinner this year!! They love helping in the kitchen!!
There you have it..my families must do activities in the fall!!
What do you enjoy doing with your family during the fall?
