Apple picking is a fun way to spend time outside and get a delicious treat.

1. Go Apple Picking
Apple picking can be a fun activity to do with your family. You get to be outside and in the crisp fall air and you get the satisfaction of picking your own delicious apples. Most orchards also have delicious homemade apple treats to enjoy like cider donuts or caramel apples. Even if they don’t, you can continue the festivities by baking apple pies or making your own caramel apples at home.

Corn mazes are a fun outdoor fall activity.

2. Corn Maze
There are many farms that host autumn festivals and have corn mazes for people to wander through. This year we even found a five-acre corn maze that is created in the shape of Derek Jeter’s face. Spend sometime getting lost and soaking in the autumn air. Also if scary stuff is more your thing, there are also haunted corn mazes to take part in.

3. Fall Hiking
Even though it’s a little cooler outside, fall is a great opportunity to spend sometime outside. It isn’t too hot or too cold so you can really enjoy yourself and the beautiful sights around you. Put on some books and a light jacket and go on a fall hike.

4. Tasty Treats
The pumpkin obsession is now a sign of fall. Don’t be ashamed! Rejoice in your love of everything pumpkin. Drink pumpkin flavored coffee, eat pumpkin pie, pumpkin swirl bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pie ice cream or whatever else you discover this year. Embrace your love for everything pumpkin this fall.

5. Carve a Pumpkin
Pumpkins are just good for eating, they are also a fun art project. While you’re out discovering the farm festivals in your area, why not pick of a pumpkin or a few. Make it a group activity and carve some pumpkins. If you have a younger group that wants to take part you could also paint pumpkins. Be creative and have fun decorating for fall!
