As fall rolls around I am reminded that I am not a fan of "all things scary," so this season for me and other scaredy cats is particularly troubling. Instead of being the "boring one" in the friend group, try some of these out to make October a little more tolerable.
1. Apple Picking
This is fun in general. Not only do you have great photo backdrops for your ever-important selfie, but afterwards you can make and eat caramel apples with friends.
2. Harvest Festival
3. Non-Haunted Hay Ride
A daytime take on the classic “haunted hayride” but significantly less scary. Take in the autumn views and beautiful scenery while drinking some hot apple cider.
4. Making Fall Recipes
There is always the go-to classics like pumpkin or apple pie, but this year try a twist on the old recipes. Pumpkin cheese cake is a delicious, festive treat that will have your friends and family going back for slice two. Pinterest and Buzzfeed can give you a lot of ideas for anything pumpkin related, which is what every white girl loves during fall.
5. Halloween Pet Parade
If you thought kids in costumes were cute, wait until you see pets in costumes. This fall grab your furry friends and deck them out in Halloween garb. It will be a laugh for you and everyone else, not to mention a great picture for the fridge!
6. Pumpkin Picking
If you go pumpkin picking and don’t take selfies with the pumpkins, did you even go?
7. 13 Nights of Halloween on ABC Family
A fantastic marathon of family friendly Halloween movies for you and your friends to be nostalgic about. Not as fantastic as the Harry Potter marathon, but that will be on next week, don’t worry.
8. Pumpkin Carving
This is the part where you carve that pumpkin that you took a selfie with.
9. Bonfires
10. Corn Mazes
These are significantly less scary during the day, so bring a friend and try not to get lost. Yet another backdrop for a fall photo shoot.
