My Favourite Fall Activities
I am so excited that I can officially say that the fall season is less than two weeks away! Even though the kick off has already started, I’m so excited to fully lean into all things pumpkin spice, cozy sweaters and cooler weather. In any season, I can find countless fun activities to do that brings me joy, but there’s just something about the activities that we like to do in the fall that bring me the most happiness and excitement! Here are some of my absolute favourite things to do in the fall months…
01. Go to a Pumpkin Patch
This kind of goes without saying, right? If there’s one thing that absolutely screams fall, it’s going to a pumpkin patch! Especially if you get to pick your own pumpkin! Though I will say after picking a pumpkin that was only the size of a small pie pumpkin a few years ago… if you want a big one, make sure you bring a cart or something to carry it. Even though we all know they’re heavy, dragging a massive pumpkin through a field is a bigger feat that you think it will be!
02. Baking Fall Treats
If you ask me, fall is the absolute best time of the year for enjoying a sweet little treat! I’ve always enjoyed the occasional baked good, but fall really has me leaning into it more than ever. I recently made a really delicious pie entirely from scratch after going to the apple orchard and picking some fresh, local apples!
03. Spend Time Outdoors
I must admit, summer is not my favourite time to be outside… though, I have come around to it a lot more in the last few years with my love of gardening, but ultimately, I don’t enjoy sweating & humidity, and least of all, the BUGS! Fall is my absolute favourite time to get outside and enjoy the fresh, cool air, especially while on a hike with my family. In fact, we’re even spending some time at a cabin this fall and I can’t wait to share more details on that when the time comes!
04. Pick Apples at the Orchard
As I mentioned above, I’ve actually already had the chance to enjoy this particular activity this year; but going to the apple orchard and picking apples right from the tree is one of my favourite fall activities. It’s always so fun to bring our dog along to the orchard, and come up with some delicious apple-based fall recipes to enjoy through the following couple of weeks.
05. Celebrate Spooky Season!
Last, but certainly not least; one of my favourite times of the year – Halloween! One thing I so look forward to the most is coming up with my family’s costume for the year (stay tuned!), decorating with all of my favourite things (check out my blog with my favourite Halloween items you can get this year!), and of course, waiting for a cool, rainy, fall day so I can wrap myself in a blanket on the couch and have a Halloweentown movie marathon!
