Goodbye Summer Hello Fall

Well Fall is officially here everyone & I for one really enjoy this season and all that comes with it.  I love pumpkin patches, apple cider donuts, the absolutely beautiful changing colors around us, I love coming up with fall recipes & knowing that its ok to cozy up with a good book during nap time. Most of all I think fall is a great season for family fun! 

When you have an active 4 year old on your hands finding activities to keep him busy is key no matter what season we're in, but with fall I feel like its our last chance to really be outdoors before we hibernate for the winter. So I'd love to share some of the fun things we like to do in the Fall and some that we are looking forward to doing this season!
