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.
