Fall Festivities

Because Labor Day was yesterday, does that mean we can skip ahead to fall? And if so, is it socially acceptable to buy (and eat) handfuls of candy corn? Day trips to various fall activities on this list are in the works! Fall is the perfect season. It's not too hot and not too cold; it's just right.

P.S. I took a short trip to the mountains this weekend.

The weather there was amazing and made me even more excited for fall :)

Apple Orchard

Visiting an apple orchard is one of my favorite things to do during the fall. I love breaking out my flannel shirts and walking through the orchard. The trees smell absolutely lovely, and the views are incredible. Every time I leave the apple orchard, I immediately want to go back.

Bake

I love using seasonal fruits and vegetables in a variety of recipes during the holiday season.

Also, I make a mean pumpkin pie.

Candy Corn

I buy this seasonal treat multiple times each year.

Corn Maze

I love the excitement and thrill of trying to find my way out of a corn maze.

Last year, I navigated through a corn maze at night, and it was the coolest/creepiest thing ever!

Leaf Jumping

Nothing says fall quite like jumping into a big pile of leaves.

I'm a kid at heart, and I embrace it every chance I get.

Local Festival

I love taking advantage of the activities in towns located not too far away from campus. Leisurely wandering through a local festival is no exception. I try not to buy too much (unless it's food, of course!).

Pumpkin Picking

So, I was going to pick a pumpkin last year, but that never happened. Let's see if we can make that dream a reality this year! I love the idea of picking and painting a pumpkin and I can't wait to experience that for myself soon!

Shopping

Sales galore! Because fall is on its way, stores are starting to promote their new collections more than ever. Summer is officially coming to a close, so many of those seasonal items will be heavily discounted. Take advantage of the many sales you are sure to encounter in the near future.

Watch TV Shows

Fall is when shows either premiere or start a new season.

I hate the waiting between a previous season and the one set to air sometime in the fall.

It seems like such a long time to wait!

Fortunately, there are only a few more weeks until Downton Abbey's Series 6 premiere!

What's on your fall bucket list?
