Thanks for sharing this with us on SIPB – I shared your post on my regular feature Monday Magic Inspiring Blogs for You (on Pain Pals Blog) as you have some great ideas, Claire x
Aaaww. Thank you so much, Claire. Always appreciate it.
These are fun ideas for fall families activities. My husband would love all of this. Glad that you shared this post.
Thank you. Wishing you a bright and beautiful Autumn.
Thank you for all these ideas. I guess we won’t get bored this fall as we check all of these on our list of fun activities!
You will never run out of ideas! Enjoy!
Wow these are some really fun activities for families. Such a great ways to build family bonding this fall season.
I agree! Thanks for stopping by.
I love the idea of a thankful tree! I still need to plant my fall bulbs.
Thanks for stopping by, Susie. Appreciate it. Wishing you a bright and beautiful Autumn!
Wow, that’s a long list and a very well thought out list……some real perfect ways to welcome Autumn…:)
Thanks, Anindya! Enjoy the season!
Thank you for this list. I would like to go to a day trip first and then follow the cooking ideas. ?
That’s awesome! I think we are just going to watch scary movies. lol.
This is a great list of ideas. I’m always stuck for things to do over half-term with the kids. I’ll have to try a few of these out over the next few days 🙂
Thank you. That’s the point of having this comprehensive list – you’ll never run out ideas! Have fun!
So much to do with family over fall but I’d love the ride bike as a family and trampoline workouts too. Always nice to laugh around together while being active.
That’s the whole point of doing these activities with families – laughing together or having fun together.
I could really get behind baking all of those wonderful fall goodies. I’ve already made some apple butter, usually with picked apples from my parent’s trees, but they didn’t get any good apples this year. We’ll have to jump in a neighbor’s leaf pile because our tree refuses to drop its leaves until the first snow fall.
That’s fun! At least you’ll get an extended foliage until first snowfall ?. Enjoy!
You have definitely compiled a great list of things to do in autumn. I have already made apple pie this season, which turned out great! I do love the smell of baked apples with cinnamon overtaking the house.
That’s awesome! I hope I am blessed with baking skills. Enjoy those apple treats!
Fall is my favorite season and you have included ALL of my favorite things on here! There might even be a couple of new and inspiring ideas!
Awesome! Fall is my favorite season too! Let’s enjoy this season to the fullest!
WOW! I didn’t even know that there were 90 fall activities you could do?? This is a great list!!! Awesome!! I love Fall.
Thank you! More activities, more fun!
Thank you very much for all these activities! I think my kids will love visit sunflower field 🙂
That is so awesome! Enjoy!
I’m not sure we can do all of these things where we live, but I’d love to try to find out. My kids would have a blast.
Same here! I won’t be able to do everything where we live. But I hope we can do some! ENjoy.
So many fun ideas! We’re carving pumpkins and roasting pumpkin seeds tomorrow. That’s two checked off the list!
That’s awesome! Enjoy!
So many fun ideas!! Now my friends cant say they’re bored when we have all these options hahah
Exactly! This way you have more options!
All of these ideas look like so much fun! cant wait until my little one is born to share these memories with him ??
It’s more fun when you do these things with your kids!
This is an exhaustive list of things to do– a must when you have kids. You ca’t do all these things in one season.
At least you will never run out of ideas ?
I did a fall to-do list too! 🙂 Great minds think alike. This is my favorite time of year because there’s just so much to do!
Awesome!
I need to make pumpkin soup. I will be making a pumpkin pie tonight for my sons birthday.
Wow! Happy birthday to your son!
These are really fun ideas, I love pumpkin season too but not the scary Halloween part, also the leaves falling makes me happy.
Thanks. The foliage makes me happy too!
Now these are some awesome ideas! They are great for people to get doing across half term as well – keep everyone entertained.
Thanks! You will never run out of things to do!
