Fall To Do

Yes! The best season, in my opinion, is just about here! (First day of fall is in just a few days!) There is just so much to do - outside with the crisp air and changing leaves falling in piles. I have just a few suggestions for making your Fall memorable, as I would personally feel saddened if you didn't make the most of it (it is my favorite after all - even if it didn't contain my birthday.)

* Apple Orchard - I haven't actually been to one to pick apples, but it sounds like it would be tons of fun.

* Haunted House - these are so much fun - I mean it's Halloween season, you're supposed to get scared. I remember this one time, I took a couple of my friends with my Dad and I as a 'birthday party' deal, and it was awesome. I was actually pretty freaked out because this cloaked figure on stilts was chasing us through this maze with a chainsaw - he was pretty talented because he really was literally chasing us on stilts.

* Cider Mill - how can you go wrong!? Hot, fresh, tasty donuts, warm apple cider, crunchy crisp caramel apples... It's even fun when you go to a big one and can see the process they go through crushing the apples and making it into cider. You can even find places to pick up some gourds for decoration.

* Pumpkin picking - also a good time, especially when you get a great pumpkin that has the perfect shape for carving into a jack-o-lantern.

*Raking leaves into a big pile and jumping in them - of course, this is a lot easier for kids.

* Going out on Halloween, whether you are actually young enough to get some candy, or even if you are taking younger siblings out. Costume-watching is the funnest part, making giving out candy enjoyable too.

* Camping - how can you not? Now I am not a huge hardcore outdoorsy person, but spending a weekend out in the woods is one of the best stress relievers and bonding times you can get. Taking hikes, roasting marshmallows, sleeping in tents, bonfires, offroading, it doesn't get much better, especially if you are lucky enough to have some exciting adventurous friends. Ghost stories can also be fun at night, even playing tag in the dark. Exhilirating...

* And one of my favorite parts is the Fall and Halloween decorations!!! haha, let me know if I missed any big ones.
