Fall really is my favorite season and I am counting down the days excitedly waiting for sweater and boot weather to arrive.

There are so many things that make me smile when I think of fall… crunching leaves as we walk, the smell of baked goods and pumpkins. I adore baking apple and pumpkin bread, muffins, cakes, and cookies. I love watching the leaves change from green to red, orange and gold hues. My favorite fall day is when the sun is shining, but it is cool and crisp; perfect for doing a fun fall activity. 

Here are 30 fun activities to try this fall that will make fall your favorite season too!
