Ten Fun Things To Do With Your Kids This Fall!

Can you believe that Summer is almost over, and Fall is right around the corner? Fall is my favorite season! I love all of the fun things that come with the season. Usually during Fall, I want to go to Halloween parties or haunted houses, but this is my second year as a mom, and I don’t feel right just leaving my son with someone while I do those things. I want to spend as much time together as a family as possible. So I made a small list of things that I want to do with my little family of 3 this year (some things may not be possible because of COVID, but a girl can dream)!

1. Go to a Pumpkin Patch! Last you we took JJ to Hawks Pumpkin Patch! I can’t wait for us to take little man to pick out the perfect pumpkin again this year, and maybe it will even start to be a family tradition!

2. Hayrides! My parents’ church does hayrides for the kids, and I think it would be fun to sit with JJ and ride the hayride together.

3. Decorate a pumpkin! I might put some paint on JJ’s hands and let him decorate a little pumpkin with me!

4. Trunk or treat! I want to dress little man up and take him to a few local churches on Halloween to trunk or treat. I feel like churches are one of the best places to go because you usually don’t have to worry about the candy or the people. No, I won’t feed JJ a ton of candy, but it’ll still be fun!

5. A Fall photo shoot! I want to do a small Fall themed photo shoot as a family. It doesn’t really need to be professional, but I just want to capture some memories.

6. Do a craft! I want to make a Thanksgiving craft. I’m not sure exactly what I have in mind, but I want to try to make something really cute to put away as a memorabilia.

7. Watch “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” as a family! I’m thinking of a relaxing movie night with Halloween cookies!

8. Go to Fall festivals! Off the top of my head, I already can think of 3 Fall festivals in our area that we will be able to walk around and enjoy!

9. Take a nature walk! Sometimes the weather in the Fall is a bit chilly, but it can also be super nice! Fall scenery is totally worth it!

10. Make a sweet treat! I want to make a sweet treat like pumpkin pie, pecan pie, or candied apples to enjoy with my family!

Even while I was writing this blog, I was getting excited about doing everything on this list. I can’t wait to spend quality time making memories with my little family this Fall! I hope this list can help you plan your Fall to do list too!
