1. Go Apple Picking
There’s no way you can get through fall without apple picking (especially in New England.) Go to your favorite farm and pick and eat all the apples you can get your hands on. Then make sure to make lots of yummy treats with those apples!
2. Go on a Hay Ride
Kids love hay rides/tractor rides. They are different and fun and those bumpy rides can make any kid laugh!
3. Go to the Fair
Fairs are always a fun family time. With lots of yummy food, cute animals, and arcade games, you can’t go wrong. Fairs and festivals are a huge hit in New England plus they’re usually pretty inexpensive for admission. Bundle up and enjoy a night at the fair and make it a fun family tradition!
4. Make Jack-O-Lanterns
This can get a little messy, but I bet you will have lots of laughs! Grab a big pumpkin and carve just one, together as a family!
5. Go to a Football Game
Even if you’re not super into sports, football can feel nostalgic and be a fun family event! Go to your old high school or your local high school and catch a game under the Friday night lights!
6. Make a “Thankful Tree”
Make a “Thankful Tree” for your family and hang it up. Use brown construction paper for the tree trunk and then use cut-outs of your children’s handprints for the leaves. On each handprint write what that person is thankful for. Hang it up where you can see it everyday and talk about the importance of feeling thankful!
7. Go to a Corn Maze
This is such a great one for kids! Go to a farm with a corn maze and find your way through it together. Your kids will truly feel like they are on an adventure. You could even let them take the lead so they can help you find your way out!
