I grew up in the Midwest and I love fall!
Looking forward to the change of seasons and the beautiful bright colored leaves is something that has not left me since relocating to Sunny Florida. More than 10 years have passed and I can still close my eyes and picture the magnificent sights, rustling sounds and crisp aromas.
Our warm weather, palm trees, and flip flops do not mean that we miss celebrating the season. Fun fall activities are all around us. We just need to get out there and find some good old fashioned family entertainment.
Here are few ideas to help you get started regardless of your setting:
A trip to a local u-pick farm is a fun outdoor activity and offers families a chance to participate in the fall harvest. Most orchards usually open the first weekend after Labor Day (call ahead to find out about picking conditions and availability).
Visit a local pumpkin patch. Everywhere you turn it seems fields of orange gourds are growing overnight. I'll bet you might find a place offering some hay or pony rides.
How about making some caramel apples.....Taffy Apples where I come from:-).
Who doesn't love an apple dressed in sweetness? The web is loaded with recipe sites and you are sure to find soemthing that tickles your taste buds.
Last, there is my personal favorite.....fall cookies. I am always inspired this time of year to pull out my recipe box (tablet computer) and start cooking and baking!
Happy Autumn.....
Let's Get Moving!

Always love those colors, Lynn! Happy fall :)
What state in the midwest.. I grew up in the midwest as well.. Oklahoma... So Cal girl now!! :) Not nearly as colorful but I still love this weather! You are right though.. It does pass to quickly..
Fall is the best out here in LA. I enjoy the cool weather and the color of the leaves. Enjoy your autumn too!
Lynn,
I find so many people "favorite" fall including my wife.
Enjoy,
Steve
I'm in the Midwest and this time of year is the most beautiful. I love taking a drive and admiring all the trees loaded with color. I have to admit, I would enjoy it more if I could wear flip flops and shorts instead of my jacket and jeans.
Thanks for sharing all your thoughts. I'm from Illinois and hope to make it back before the colors are gone this season! I knew I was not the minority and always time for a trip down memory lane:-).
Chris, you'd be cold in the Midwest in flip flops & shorts:-).
