Autumn just started and we wanted to kick off our favorite season with a cute fall bucket list you and your family can check off over the next few months!

Don't waste the mild weather, beautiful changing leaves, and harvest season. Make some amazing memories with your family - it all starts here 🥰

1. Apple Picking

Talk about an insta-worthy fall activity! Visit a local farm or orchard, bundle up your family, and fill a few buckets with fresh apples. This is a great chance to get outside and explore nature with your kids, and it also provides a great opportunity to support a local business!

Don't forget to take pictures - you'll treasure these memories for years to come, and your kids will have a blast.

2. Visit a Pumpkin Patch

If you don't already have this as a tradition in your home, make it one today! Visiting a pumpkin patch is magical, and letting your kids pick out their very own pumpkin to decorate or carve later is worth every penny to see the excitement in their eyes.

If you're lucky, your local pumpkin patch will also provide hay rides, a petting zoo, and other fun fall activities. Take advantage of their short business season and visit one asap!

3. Bake a Pie

After you go apple picking, you'll probably have a ton of apples you're not quite sure what to do with. Solution: bust out your favorite apron and bake a pie with your kids!

Check out these fall pie recipe ideas for inspiration, or use your favorite home recipe and bake with your kids. Still have extra apples? Try apple crisp, dried apples (super healthy + yummy snack!), and homemade applesauce. It doesn't get more festive than that.

4. Watch a Halloween Movie

There are more fun Halloween movies than you might think! Check out this list of Halloween movies to watch with your kids and pick your favorite - it's the perfect opportunity to share some of your childhood favorites now.

If you're looking for a festive movie just for mommy and daddy, check out this list of Halloween movies you can watch after the kids are in bed. They're spooky, festive, and perfect for cuddling up next to your boo on a cold autumn night;).

5. Take Fall Family Photos

Your kids might not be massive fans of this fall activity, but you can still make it fun! Hire a photographer who has experience with kids and knows how to work with them. Don't be afraid to splurge a little bit - you'll treasure these photos for a lifetime.

Bring toys and snacks! You can also check out our guide on family photos here to prepare:). Either way, taking family photos in the fall is beautiful and worth it, and you'll be thankful you made it happen this year.
