Somehow, it's already mid-October, and the weather is quickly turning from sunny and breezy to cool and crisp. And with so many fun fall activities to choose from, this season is the perfect time to spend some quality time with your family.
When I was little, I know I used to love getting bundled up and heading out to jump around in the fallen leaves with my sister and cousins. So before winter hits and we all have to head indoors, why not do the same with your kids? Below, check out our list of the top 6 fall activities to enjoy with your kids!
Go to a theme park
This time of year, a lot of theme parks deck out their rides and holiday-related activities, like Six Flags' Fright Fest for Halloween. It's the perfect way to get in the spirit of the season while enjoying a fun day out and about with your family!
Corn maze
If you're brave enough to get a little lost, why not try to find your way through a maze of tall corn stalks? You can even make it into a game to see who gets to the end first!
Pumpkin picking
What kid doesn't love having the chance to pick out their own big orange pumpkin out of a whole patch? You can carve it later for Halloween, and pumpkin patches often offer some yummy fall bites, like candy apples, apple pie, and cider.
Apple picking
Visit a local orchard with your family to walk among the trees and pick out some yummy apples to take home. They'll be the perfect healthy snack to enjoy at home, and some places even let you grind the apples you choose into cider. But hurry, because apple-picking season ends with the month of October!
Camping
Get adventurous and go outdoors for a night underneath the stars! You can hike in the area during the day and enjoy a bonfire and roasted marshmallows at night.
Football
It's football season, so grab your family, gear up, and play! It's a fun way for everyone to get involved and spend some time outdoors—while still getting exercise!
