Fall Into the Great Outdoors

We tend to think of summer as the time to get outside, but many families find fall to be an even better time for outdoor activities. Not only does it offer cooler days, but it also welcomes some activities that just do not work other times of the year. Following are a few family favorites.

Apple picking. A trip to an apple orchard is a great family activity, and a lot of orchards host special events and festivals to add to the fun. The bonus: lots of fresh apples to bring home.

Farm visits. Many farms make harvest time party time with special activities for kids and families, from hayrides and corn mazes to pumpkin picking.

Leaf jumping. Mix chores with fun by making leaf piles and jumping in.

Zoo visits. This might not seem like a particularly fall-oriented activity, but autumn is a great time to visit a zoo. Not only will the crowds be reduced from the usual summer peaks, but some animals become
more active as temperatures drop, so you might see something you would not see on warmer days.

Camping. Cooler nights make for better sleeping in a tent and sleeping bag, and for more enjoyable campfires. Whether you a pitch a tent in the backyard or hike into the woods, you will find autumn is a great time for a camping trip.
