Fall Fun In CT
As much as I am holding on to ️Summer soon it will be time to say goodbye and welcome Fall. Apple picking, corn mazes, festivals, pumpkin picking, pumpkin EVERYTHING, fire pits, Octoberfest, food trucks, and haunted houses. I know not too shabby. I love the foliage and wearing lite sweaters. I love the smell of Fall. Ever notice the air smells different?
So here's an awesome website I subscribe to and a fun Fall list of activities that I can't wait to tackle with the family. Check it out and be sure to share what festivals you have heard of, which Farms have the best apples and which haunted houses was the spookiest!

Below is a good guide to get as much details out. We all know kids tell us only what they want us to know when parents are eager to hear every step by step of their day. I call it love.

I know my children's grandparents go the extra mile to help us and although we show them appreciation along the way it's nice to do something extra special
For them even if it's a cute craft your kids can make or a card or a bouquet of flowers. Whether big or small the gesture is just as nice. Below is a cute idea a friend sent me.
