As the leaves start to change colors, and the air gets a little…let’s be honest, it’s still HOT! Like it or not, the calendar tells us that Fall is indeed approaching. Every year, we have some family traditions and activities that we partake in, no matter what the temperatures say.

We encourage you to rip this page out. Put it on the fridge as a reference, and get to having the best kind of fun: Fall fun!

We want our kids to look back at their childhood and be filled with fun memories and things that we did together as a family.

We can only hope to instill ideas that they enjoy and will eventually pass down to their own kids one day (far, far in the future).  Somehow, Autumn flies by in a flash. We blink, and it's Christmas! We like to take advantage of the weather and beautiful foliage with this list of fun things to do in the Fall. 

Get out and have a blast, and be sure to tag us in your bucket list photos on social media. ■
