What time is it? It's FALL time. If you don't love every second throughout September all the way through December, you're doing it all wrong. Fall is the best time of the year and here's why:
1. Pumpkin Patches
You can go to a pumpkin patch with your friends, family, significant other (an adorable date idea) or just about anyone else. Walking through the fields, hearing the crunching of leaves, warm cup of coffee in hand, nothing else will put you more in the fall mood. Once you leave the pumpkin patch, the fun doesn't end! You can carve them, paint them, whatever you want!
2. College Football
The perfect Saturday is sitting at home with your friends/family, eating good food and watching a game of college football on TV. While being at the actual game is an exhilarating experience, watching it from your couch at home is just as good. Even if you aren't a football fan, knowing that it's that time of year will get you in the "fall mood."
3. Corn Mazes
A Sunday afternoon corn maze, the ideal family activity! They don't have corn mazes year-round, so you have to make sure you go during fall season while they have them! Most corn maze places have a variety of activities to do, so if the maze isn't a success with your group, you have so many more options!
4. Fairs
The most prominent time to go to a fair is in fall. The weather isn't super hot, but it isn't super cold. It's cold enough to drink a warm cup of hot chocolate but still warm enough to wear your favorite short sleeve t-shirt. You can go during the day time or at night; both give an enjoyable fall experience.
5. Pretty Trees
During fall the chances of driving down the road and not seeing at least one pretty tree are very unlikely. You have to take advantage of all the lovely-looking trees now before they lose all of their leaves in winter!
6. Pumpkin Spiced Lattes
You wake up and drink your boring cup of coffee every morning. However, when fall swings around, we get a burst of new flavors! The cool thing about these flavors is that this is the only time of year you can get them, so again, another reason to love fall.
7.Backyard Bonfires
Sure, you can roast marshmallows in the backyard anytime of the year, but there's a different vibe that comes with it during fall. If you're feeling overwhelmed or just want some idle time, you can go outside with your most cozy blanket, a good book and just curl up by the fire.
8. Sweater Weather
It is finally sweater weather again! We have finally passed that awkward stage where you need a sweater for anywhere you're going to be inside but then the second you step outside you're dying of heat stroke. Not only are sweaters super comfortable, but they are totally fashionable during this time of year.
9. Candy Corn
Even if you don't like candy corn, just seeing it being sold in stores or in bowls on people's kitchen tables delivers a happy feeling.
Fall is overall a happier season. It provides loads of family activities, things to do with your friends, date ideas for you and your spouse. It also brings along a whole new selection of food choices. We step away from the summery salads and move into the warm and yummy stew. We go from a cold ice cream cone to a toasty slice of pumpkin bread. Fall is just around the corner, and it's time to get excited!
