Happy Fall, Y’all! Sorry, couldn’t help myself… A few days late in true Ali-ish fashion but it’s Fall!! Which means all things pumpkins, changing leaves, crisp mornings and cool nights. Soon it’ll be sweater/boot weather (Fall Fashion is the best!) and we’ll break out all the Halloween decorations! I’ve been working on a Fall Bucket List with the girlies so we make sure to get the most out of the season. I thought you might enjoy a list of ideas too. We did a summer bucket list so why not one for each season? So here it goes!
+ don’t forget to enter our Nordstrom Gift Card Giveaway at the end of this post!
Fall Bucket List
(Listed in no particular order, but separated by category)
Outdoors:
◊ Take a Crisp Morning Walk
◊ Decorate with Pumpkins
◊ Buy some Mums
◊ Attend a County Fair (or 2)
The San Benito County Fair is October 4th-7th. Come see us there!
◊ Ride a Farris Wheel
◊ The Renaissance Faire
The Northern California Renaissance Faire is happening now until October 21st! This will be our 4th year attending. Here’s a little peek at the last few years. My husband probably likes it most out of all 4 of us!
◊ Get your Face Painted
◊ Apple Picking
If you are in the Northern/Central California area Gizditch Ranch has Apple Picking. We plan on going soon! We did Strawberry Picking there a few months ago. Check it out HERE.
◊ Pumpkin Patching
I’m addicted to Pumpkin Patches… really.
◊ Go on a Hike
◊ Collect Fall Leaves and Pinecones
◊ Take a Hay Ride
◊ Watch a Pig Race
◊ Dress up for Halloween
The girls love Playing Dress Up! and want to be witches this year <– Throwback to a few years back… Do you dress up?
In The Kitchen:
◊ Make Cinnamon Apple Chips
◊ Bake an Apple Pie
◊ Bake Pumpkin Bread
◊ Roast Pumpkin Seeds
◊ Cook Chili all day long
◊ Make Grandma’s Ravioli
Indoors:
◊ Go to a Movie
Haven’t been to the theater in a long time! Do you know of any good movies coming out?
◊ Pajama Day
I asked Piper to help me with this list and the first thing she said was pajama day! She loves when we just hang out together at home playing games, drawing, and baking. Who could blame her? It’s pretty special to just be with your kids.
◊ Drink Apple Cider
◊ Carve Pumpkins
Traditions always make me happy! Crafting with Pumpkins is always fun too. Here’s a fun craft with Crayons & Pumpkins you can try!
◊ Make a Fall Wreath
My mom used to make wreaths and dried flower decor for a living, I’m excited to do this with the girls and tell them all about it!
◊ Make a Thankful Tree
Last year the girls got a thankful tree from their aunt to make. It is a table centerpiece, a little wooden tree with paper leaves you write what you are thankful for on. Such a great way to remind yourself all of all the good in life.
◊ Complete a Jigsaw Puzzle
Piper is obsessed with puzzles. We started a 500 piece puzzle together. She’s almost 6 but can complete 300 piece puzzles all by herself in no time. 500 is proving to be more of a challenge.
We’re looking forward to checking things off our list one by one! What’s on your Fall Bucket list? Do you have one?
