In our family, we LOVE lists. Each season, we brainstorm ideas for things we’d love to do. Fall is the BEST for many reasons — the cooler temps, the gorgeous colors, and one of our family’s favorite holidays: Halloween!
This year, we have an ambitious list of fun we hope to have. We likely won’t get to it all, but we love having a list to work with when planning our weekend adventures.
I’d love to hear what your family loves to do in the comments. Happy fall, ya’ll!
