It's that time again; the air is turning colder, pumpkin spice is a household topic once more and the Bostonians have begun to prepare for fall foliage pictures. It's time for a 2015 Fall Bucket List.
1. Apple Picking
There's nothing better then fresh apples that you hand pick and turn into yummy fall foods like apple pie and apple crisp.
2. Visiting a pumpkin patch
Grab some friends and drive out to a pumpkin patch in search for the perfect pumpkin. Make it a game that whoever finds the best pumpkin gets to pick the scary movies that night!
3. Haunted Houses
The fall season is full of fun things to do, but purposely going to a place that will fill you with frights and screams is the greatest fall activity. Make sure you go with a group and remember it's just for fun!
4. Hayrides
Nothing says fall quite like riding in a wagon over fallen leaves surrounded by pumpkins and good friends.
5. Carving Jack-o'-lanterns
Decorating for fall almost always involves those pumpkins you picked out at the pumpkin patch. Grab some tools and get to work carving a scary or funny face into that perfect pumpkin. Or if you don't want to ruin the perfect pumpkin by cutting into it just paint a face right on the side. If you do carve that pumpkin, don't forget to take the seeds and cook them up with some yummy spices.
6. Fall Cookies
When I was younger the surefire way that I knew it was fall was the Pillsbury cookies that were adorned with ghosts and pumpkins. If you aren't into pre-made cookies you can make fall cookies by adding sprinkles and sugar that are festive colors, like orange and yellow.
7. Caramel Apples
Pick just a few too many apples when you went apple picking? No problem, make those beautifully fresh apples into a not-so-healthy treat for a movie night with friends. Check out this link for a caramel apple recipe
8. Corn Maze
When a hayride just isn't enough, add a corn maze into your day! It's a great place to make memories with friends, have some healthy competition and take lots of fall-themed pictures. Just make sure you charge your phone in case you get lost!
9. Excessively watch the "13 Nights of Halloween"
ABC Family is a plethora for themed movie marathons. Don't miss out on their fall specials and spooky movies leading up to Halloween. They are a perfect distraction from all the fall baked goods.
10. Eat pumpkin-flavored anything
Breads, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, coffees...the list of things you can find and make that are pumpkin flavored is endless. So if you are in fact a fall-lover and you cant get enough of the pumpkin spiced flavor, try making some of your own goodies this year and check it off of your bucket list.
