Fall 2016 To-Do List

Why is it that the best times of the year have to go by so fast?! The last 3 months of the year are my absolute favorite… there is so much activity and so many fun things to do. The hot Georgia weather finally starts to cool down. I love cool, crisp mornings and days where I can snuggle in a sweater with a hot beverage. We don’t really ever get to do all the things we would like to do during this magical time of year but I do like to create a list each year to make sure we do as many of our favorite things as possible.

Take advantage of the 25 miles of paved biking trails on nearby Jekyll Island.

I want Jim and I to have some biking dates while the girls are at school.

After dinner bike rides around the neighborhood as a family

I love our little neighborhood, there are so many beautiful trees and during the Fall it is spectacular. I just love it when the leaves start falling. There is nothing like the crunch of a leaf to let you know Fall is here. 

Corn Mazes

It’s always a fun tradition to visit a farm and get lost in a corn maze for an hour! Jim and I always enjoyed doing haunted corn mazes at night, but not quite sure the girls are up for that yet! 🙂 

Pumpkins!

Picking out our pumpkins to carve and to paint! The girls absolutely love painting small pumpkins.

Spend at least one evening each week with the fire pit!

Go on a Hay Ride.

Who doesn’t love a hayride?

Go to a Fall Festival. 

Fall festivals always remind me of being a kid. Lots of super fun memories for me. 

Go trick or treating.

Our neighborhood has a very Gilmorish feel during the Fall. I love how the whole community goes all out for Halloween. 

Go on family hikes

We’ve only been able to do short, 1 mile or so, hikes so far. Maybe the girls can hold on for longer hikes this year. 

Fall Food

Lily has requested we make Candy Apples.

Watch Hocus Pocus! 

My favorite!

Host a outdoor dinner party/Friendsgiving! 

This is something Jim and I have been wanting to do for a couple of years. Friendsgiving suggestions are welcome in the comments!

Go to an outdoor concert

I like concerts and beautiful fall evenings, seems like a perfect match to me!

I would love to hear something you are planning to do this Fall!
