Happy Fall!

Fun Fall Activities

As a kid I remember loving Summer. Having no school, spending all my time at the pool and with friends, and getting to sleep in. The list goes on, but since growing up I have discovered that Summer is no longer my favorite season.  I have a new list that has formed: Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte, apple picking, pumpkins, the smell of fires, the beautiful colors of the leaves changing...I could go on.

Now I ask, does your child love Summer too?  Why not give them the excitement for fall that they should have?  There are still tons of fun kid-friendly activities to do that will keep you busy all Fall.  I decided to list some of my favorite Fall activities, which in all honesty, I enjoy just as much as any kid would.
