As the summer heat turns to the icy chills of winter I start to wonder, “what should I do?” There are a ton of wonderful activities to conquer over the fall season, so buckle your seat belts— I am about to take you on a fall activity adventure.
The first rule of fall is going on a hayride— it’s a must. Whether visiting Yeck’s farm with the amazing childhood movie and TV show paintings or just a tour around a farm, it’s a fun way to be close with your friends and sing cheesy songs that absolutely no one likes unless on a hay ride.
The next activity to add to the to-do list is haunted houses. Halloween is all about getting a good scare, so why not treat yourself to being chased around a maze by a man with a chainsaw? There are always haunted houses open in the fall; they are not expensive and it’s pretty fun when you have a group of fellow cry-babies to go with you.
Next on the map is bonfires. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t love a nice bonfire. Where can you go wrong? Other than catching someone or yourself on fire, everything is great about this night time adventure. The combination of hoodies, warm fire, marshmallow roasting, friends, laughing and so much more makes a bonfire a definite winner.
Another stop on the adventure train is going to a football game. Even if you aren’t a big football fan, it’s nice to go the Friday night games and support your school team and band. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, it’s also a great way to hang out with your friends.The excitement and great food is a good way to spend your night. If you enjoy the football games, why not try all of our fall sports? We have golf, cross country, soccer and volleyball. Go out and be supportive.
If you’re asking yourself, “can there possibly be more?” Yes— there is always more. Pumpkin carving is a super messy, but very much worth it activity. You can carve anything your heart desires. I would hope though that if you’re planning on putting it on your porch that you don’t get too crazy; however, it’s a great way to get creative! Once everything is carved you can also take the seeds, rinse them off, add a little salt, throw them into the oven and enjoy a delicious and nutritious snack. This is like killing two birds with one stone but less serious; they are just pumpkin seeds.
Whether it’s going to a haunted hayride or simply raking up leaves and jumping in them, go crazy. The fall can be so much more than a last chance to go on a bike ride. Make this fall something to remember.
