By this time, you may have gotten your fill of Summer. I can’t say that I have. I love Summer. It’s my favorite season. I like the warm weather, the freedom to just walk outside as if it’s an extension of my home, and the comfort of not having to put a jacket on. In fact, this time of year really makes me sad because I’ll miss all of the fun things that Summer offers, rather, things I thought that Fall didn’t offer. That’s why I chose to do a list of fun Fall activities. If you’re anything like me, and it’s okay if you’re not, you don’t even know where to begin when it comes to appreciating the outdoors recoiling in preparation for hibernation. But the good news is that there is hope. After writing this list, I actually found myself wanting to try each activity out for myself. Even after listing fifty things, I thought of more. I can truly say that there is something worthwhile about Autumn, and if you take the time to appreciate it, it’ll be time well spent. So, here we go.

Some are a little more child-friendly than others, but why not give a few of these ideas a go? You may find many more while you’re at it, and who knows? Maybe you’ll look forward to some of these activities again next year.
