Fall is a great time for fun-filled activities for the whole family. The weather is beautiful, the leaves are changing, and winter will be here before we know it. When the weekend rolls around and everyone is home finding some great things to do as a family can be a fantastic way to pass the time.

There are tons of great family-friendly activities do on a beautiful, crisp fall day. Here are a few suggestions to make your next weekend a fun-filled family adventure.

• Apple picking. Apples, apple cider, apple pie…the list goes on and on, are all great fall treats. Find an apple orchard in your area and take the family out for a great day of apple picking. Many orchards offer other fun activities as well, including hay rides.
• A fall themed scavenger hunt. Think up some things that represent fall and create a family scavenger hunt.
• Leaf art. Take the family on a nice walk to pick some beautiful leaves. Encourage everyone to pick a wide range of types and colors. When you get home help the kids make arts and crafts with the leaves.
• Take the family to a pumpkin patch to pick out a Halloween pumpkin. Together as a family carve the pumpkins.
• Find a nice hiking spot where everyone in the family can enjoy a nice hike and check out the beautiful changing leaves.

These are just a few of the fun-filled family activities you can do this fall. Ask your kids for suggestions. If you have children of varying ages you may need to tailor some activities so they are fun for the older kids and some so they are fun for the younger ones. The point is to get out and have fun as a family, making memories and starting traditions.
