Autumn is here with changing leaves, cooler temperatures, and plenty of traditions to partake. From at-home to outdoor fall activities, I've gathered a list of all my seasonal favorites. Apple PickingVisiting an apple orchard can be a nostalgic yearly tradition as well as a full-day experience knocking off several items on your fall bucket list. Picking apples is also a great fall date idea where you can go for a hayride and drink apple cider with doughnuts. Go Through a Corn MazeMost apple farms have corn mazes as an added attraction. Have a friendly competition by splitting into teams to see who can complete it faster. Make Caramel ApplesAfter Loading up from the apple orchard, melting caramel on this fruit is a must. I use this caramel apple kit for an easy DIY experience. Pumpkin DecoratingStop in at your local pumpkin patch to have some fun creating art. Have a Coffee TastingInvite a few friends over and brew some seasonal flavors you want to try. Everyone can bring their own autumn favorite or order this sampler ahead of time. Go for a Leaf Peeping Road TripSpend the day driving to the best neighborhoods for fall foliage. Attend the State FairCheck to see when your state's fair is and if it's something close by or that you can turn into a weekend trip. Plan a HikeEarly fall can be a lovely time to hike. Pick a destination and go for a quick weekend getaway. Backyard BonfireLight up that fire pit, sit and talk with loved ones, and maybe even make some s'mores. Run a MarathonNow that the weather is simmering down from the heat, stay in shape by signing up for a marathon. Take a Walk on the BeachA stroll in the sand may not be where your mind goes when thinking of autumn, but with cooler weather, this can be a relaxing and inexpensive outing.

Bake Pumpkin MuffinsThere are so many ways to use pumpkin in muffins. Test a few versions and find your favorite. Go to the Market for Fall Fruits and VegetablesSee what's in season and grab some fresh fruits and veggies that you haven't tried before.

I'm currently working on a butternut squash soup for my family to enjoy when they visit.
