This morning I was reading over at Simple Mom and discovered some great outdoor fall activities. I am hoping to borrow some of hers and add some of mine to create new fall traditions for our family.
1. Visit a pumpkin patch
This one is for the whole family. Picking out pumpkins to dress up our front porch, to carve with friends and to say "oh we will roast the seeds" will be fun for us all. Its a good excuse to get outside and feel the cooler temps too!
2. Make caramel apples
This is one mainly for the adults. Not a usual every day kind of craving but caramel apples sure are delicious. Make mine green underneath please!
3. Collect leaves
How can you not smile and take in the beauty that our Creator made when designing the annual leaf change. The red, orange and my favorite - yellow can be stunning. I know that Molly will love finding ones and holding them in her hands as we discover different shapes and colors -all made by nature.
4. Trick or treat
We are not big into Halloween at our house. You will not see many decorations ( I think a pumpkin is about it) but we don't see the harm in letting Molly dress up and have fun with other friends in the neighborhood. It gives us a chance for community with those we live near and for molly to have a special night to stay a few minutes up past her bedtime. She won't
5. Take a hike
Thought of for Allen but really for the whole family. I am so thankful that I married someone more outdoorsy than me. Otherwise, Molly would only know activities inside and not have the pleasure of experiencing outside play. Whether it is here in GA or somewhere in NC we will definitely plan a fall hike in the upcoming months!
What activities do you love to share during this beautiful season?
I loooove FAll too! Really want to pick apples and go to a pumpkin patch with baby in tow. Never had a caramel apple. Can you believe that? And we want to do our annual Halloween/chili/trickortreat night. Not big into decorations around here either, but the food and friends are fun.
