Family Fall Activities – Kid Approved Fall Bucket List

Family Fall Activities are the best! Spring and summer are wonderful seasons but FALL is my favorite. We still have lovely weather, it's not too hot, and there's no rain. Plus it's time to decorate for Halloween…..and that's pretty much my favorite thing of all time!
