As I've said before, leaves are my favorite toy in the fall. You rake them up, jump in them, throw them in the air and then dispose of them. Also, we don't go to the apple orchard once, we go several times! You go once to get apples to bake pies and the rest of the times you go to wander aimlessly to kill an hour and to enjoy the weather. (I also volunteered on both boys school visits to apple orchards so we really got our fix this year.)
Another two fabulous fall things and two more checks off the damn fall bucket list was visiting a pumpkin patch and finding our way through a corn maze. Well the good old Upper Valley region rocks because this could be done at a wonderful farm just a few miles away. Even in a soggy drizzle we survived an amazing corn maze that the boys lead us through and picked our weight in pumpkins. It is neat to show the boys a pumpkin patch instead of just picking pumpkins out from a pile.

The bucket list also had some less than adventurous activities on it that could make you feel better about checking more things off the list. For example, drinking pumpkin coffee, drinking apple cider, making a fall mantel and getting cozy all are pretty lame activities but nonetheless got checked off our family fall bucket list.
Back to real items! Going for a hike and making s'mores are some other pretty easy things to do during this time of year. Hiking in the fall provides such a different point of view from any other time of year and you don't sweat to death because it is so chilly out.
The fall bucket list continues and we still have plenty of time in the season to check more things off. Up next carving pumpkins....
