The time has come, when the leaves change color. Shades of yellow, orange, red and so much more begin to devour the ground. I am not complaining, because this is an absolutely beautiful time of year. There is no denying that we become a bit calmer when fall is near. No more sweating when you first walk outside (kinda). Even though the weather isn't super cool, it is better than the July heat. Fall comes with so many fun activities. Try these out if you are super bored!
Hayrides
Who doesn't love a good hayride during fall? I personally can't go one year without going on at least one hayride. Find a local farm or maybe even a family friend who hosts a hayride fest. While you are riding remember to take in all the sights and colors around you. Have some hot chocolate while you are at it, if it is cold enough outside, of course.
Haunted houses
I am a HUGE advocate for spooky season. I know there has to be multiple haunted houses around you, so no excuse on this one. If you aren't a fan of scary things, no shame we have all been there. Still try it out, maybe you will conquer your fears and have fun doing it!
Corn maze
Most likely wherever you go for a haunted house, a corn maze will be near. So this one is so easy to check off your list. I know it sounds SUPER boring, but you would be surprised. Walking through a corn maze is more fun at night, if you ask me. It falls in with the haunted house category, and gives you an adrenaline rush.
PUMPKIN PATCHHHHH
Went a little crazy with the caps, but for good reasoning. Pumpkins smell and are a hassle, I know I know. Hear me out, if you don't get some type of joy from decorating tons of pumpkins I understand. Maybe carving and painting pumpkins isn’t your style, but doesn't mean you shouldn’t show them off. Snap some pics of you and the girls or guys, at the pumpkin patch and let the pumpkins capture the essence of fall.
Bake
No, I don't mean bake your face with makeup. I am talking about the real, stove in kitchen, baking. With fall, comes two awesome holidays. Halloween might not be the most known for food, but doesn't mean you can't make some pies just for fun. Popcorn balls, brownies, cupcakes, or anything; pumpkin, cinnamon and of course chocolate flavored.
Festivals
Coachella is over (for this year), but many small towns have some very quirky, festivals of their own. Choose wisely, you might just end up at festival way out of your element of fun. On the bright side there are hundreds of festivals this time of year. Many are for shopaholics who will buy those pumpkin socks and the matching scarf. Definitely not hating, because I am that person. Just look up some new festivals in your town or close by, and even ask a fellow member of your community.
Football football and football
I could never forget about you. Wether you prefer junior high, varsity or college football; go out and support your team of choice. Tailgating is always something fun and entertaining for your weekend plans. Friends, food, football, fun = fall. It only makes sense to put the jersey on and ring your cowbell (or wave your pom-pom). Rooting on a team and staying till the end for a hopeful win is always an incredible feeling. Get out there and make the most of your fall!
