Now that Labor Day has come and gone, it’s time to look forward to my favorite fall activities. I thought I would share a list of my must-do’s for the season, just in case someone out there is looking for something new and fun to do!
Favorite Fall Activities
I think autumn is probably my favorite season. I love that it starts to cool down without getting cold. I also adore the look of the mountains with colorful leaves. Plus, who doesn’t appreciate a good gourd or two? I realized that I could separate this into three portions, based on the location they take place: home, at local places, and traveling away from home. So, that’s how I’m going to organize this post.
Fall at Home
These are the types of things I enjoy doing at home during this season.
- Decorate the house. For those who don’t know, we bought our first home in 2021. Since then, we’ve really enjoyed getting into decorating our home for each season/holiday. We also host the holidays and family birthdays now. So, I really like going all out for Halloween and Christmas. We decorate the outside of the house with lights for both holidays as well as put up decor inside.
- Watch seasonal movies and shows. This usually includes “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” as well as some other supernatural shows. I also sometimes watch some classic horror movies.
- Bake. I love to bake anytime of the year. However, baking with pumpkin (like my Pumpkin Fluff Pie Recipe – Easy and Healthier) or sweet potato is particularly fun. I also enjoy decorating any seasonal cookies or houses I find at Target.
Fall at Local Places
We are lucky enough to live in a location that has several fall happenings. We typically:
- Visit a pumpkin patch. I love attending the pumpkin festival at a local farm and picking out pumpkins for our home.
- Try fall foods. Truly, I’m a sucker for pumpkin flavored food and coffee drinks. I also like apples and baked goods made from them.
- Look at leaves. We’ve been known to just drive around and look at the leaves on the mountains.
Autumn Away From Home
I also enjoy traveling away from home to visit other fall events. This includes:
- Visiting theme parks. There’s just something unique about experiencing fall fun at a theme park. This includes everything from Dollywood’s Harvest Festival to Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights.
- Eating more fall foods. Self-explanatory, but I live to eat.
Fall Festivities
So, that’s a good idea of my favorite fall activities. What are some of yours?
