Fall Family Bucket List

Looking for some fun family activities before winter sets in? Check out this Fall Family Bucketlist. #fall #fallfun #familyfun #bucketlistSeptember is here, and fall is starting to set in! Fall is very special time for our family that is full of great traditions. My husband and I had our first date at a pumpkin patch and a year later he proposed at the same place. We’ve always gone pumpkin picking and in more recent years, added apple picking to our must-do list. There are so many fun fall activities to fit into the next couple of months. I decided to add them all to a fall Family bucket list. 

Family Fall Bucket List

Go Apple Picking 

This has become a favorite of ours in recent years! It’s a fun day outside that leads to treats and farm-fresh produce. Peanut always gets a kick out of trying all the apples as we go. 

Go Through a Corn Maze

Are you a follow the map type or a wander around until you find your way out type? My husband is usually the one with the map, but I like to wander. The funny part is that I have the better sense of direction! 

Dress up for Halloween 

If you’re feeling crafty, you can even DIY your own costumes. If you’re not feeling up for that, check out these affordable costume suggestions for baby from Amazon. 

Bake an Apple Pie

What better way to use up those apples that you picked? If you’re looking for more recipe ideas for your apples, check out this post here

Drink Hot Apple Cider

Bonus points if you drink it fresh at the orchard where the apples were picked! 

Go on a Hay Ride

Because sitting behind a tractor on an uncomfortable, pokey bail of hay is surprisingly fun. 

Take a Color Cruise 

Your choice of vehicles – bike, boat, car, or even your feet. Just take some time to cruise and check out the beautiful fall colors. 

Jump in a Pile of Leaves 

Speaking of the fall colors – have more fun as they start to fall. Take the yard and then jump in that big pile of leaves. 

Attend a Harvest Fair or Fallfest

I’m sure there’s something in your local community! Cram a whole bunch of fall fun into one busy day. 

Watch a Spooky Movie 

Your choice on level of scare-factor. Just cuddle up on the couch with some popcorn and a blanket. 

Do a Flannel Photoshoot

Is there anything cuter than a kiddo in jeans and a flannel? Just photograph the littles or get the whole family involved! 

Roast Marshmallows Over a Bonfire

Who says bonfires are just for summer? I’d say they’re even better when you appreciate the heat a little. 

Collect and Press Leaves

This is always a fun and super easy craft project! Pick out some cool leaves and press them in between wax paper in a favorite book. 

Carve Pumpkins

It’s a classic! 

Go to a Football Game 

It wouldn’t be fall without football season! If you’re looking for a low-budget ticket, check out your local high school or college teams. 

Have a Chili Cook-off 

Want some friendly competition? Put family members and friends against each other in a chili cook-off! Everyone gets a good meal and one person gets major bragging rights. Win-win

Well there are 16 ideas for your fall family  bucket list. The possibilities are endless, so I left you room to pick a couple of items of your own to add! Have fun and enjoy the nice weather and great fall activities. If you’re in an area anything like Wisconsin, winter will be here before we know it.
