I love fall when the weather starts to cool off, spending time as a family and all the colors and scents of the season.
Last week S asked me if we could pretend it was Thanksgiving. When I asked her why she wanted it to be Thanksgiving she replied “because we all gather around together at Baba’s” (grandma’s). Even she understands that the best part of the holidays is spending time together as a family.
I am someone that loves to write lists and if it is written down I am more likely to accomplish that task/project/etc. So what better way to make sure that we have a fabulous fall with this bucket list! I am looking forward to checking all these family activities off our list.
What are you planning on doing this fall? Do you have a fall bucket list?

I Love going to pumpkin patches. Oh and trick or treating 🙂 My hubby and I don’t have kids yet but we love to dress up and dress up the 10lb chihuahua mix and hand out candy to the trick or treaters in the neighborhood

I always love seeing what all the kids dress up as when they come to the door!
Alli says
I’m with S – I love Thanksgiving, too, when all the family is here and I cook for 2 days to make sure everyone gets to enjoy their fave foods. I also enjoy coming up with a new tablescape each year using finds from my yards and the surrounding woods.
mybigfathappylife says
That’s awesome Alli! I cannot wait to see what your table looks like this year!
Megan @ All That Glitters says
Smores are my favorite! I need to make sure to have a bonfire this fall so that I can make some! I wish there were more pumpkin patches around us here in Austin, but alas, there arent:(
mybigfathappylife says
That’s sad Megan, we have to drive about an hour to get to the one that we love.
Kate @ Did That Just Happen? says
My son is 16, and I’m pretty sure we’ll be doing everything on your list! 🙂

Awesome Kate!

I can’t wait to see your post about Boo at the Zoo! There is one at my local zoo but we have never gone there during that time. I seriously need to make a Fall Bucket List, thanks for the idea Paris! For sure what would be on my list is trick or treating.
mybigfathappylife says
How’d you know there was a post coming? 🙂 We always have lots of fun at Boo at the Zoo!

This is the perfect fall themed bucket list 🙂 I love to go hiking when the weather is cooler too! It’s so much more enjoyable than going in the middle of summer!

Hiking is a wonderful addition! We really enjoyed hiking in the spring!

Awww! The things little ones say! How adorable. I am a miserable list maker… if I make a list it’s GUARANTEED to not happen. lol
mybigfathappylife says
That’s funny Chrissy!
GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth says
Ohhh, smores! I didn’t have them on my list but I’ve got to change that. Confession: I’ve actually never had smores but I really want to!
mybigfathappylife says
Oh my, you have got to try s’mores this fall! And there are so many variations from the original.
