Leaves, leaves and more leaves!




I think most people would agree that this time of year is the most beautiful time of year because of all the trees changing colors and preparing for winter. Looking around we have orange trees, red trees, bright yellow trees and a few green leaves left. I have a few ideas on how you can really enjoy what is left of Fall before the start of Winter.


Bundle the kiddies and family up (even the dog) and head outside for a fun afternoon of raking! Kids will love the idea of being able to jump into a giant pile of leaves! Raking is a great form of exercise for the whole family and gives everyone the chance to get outside for some fresh air.


Head to the local park with the family and let the kids run around to burn off some of that energy! Make it a day trip or just for the afternoon. Take a healthy picnic lunch and enjoy the cool weather and wonderful scenery!

Be sure to enjoy a nice warm cup of apple cider with the family at the end of the day. Oh and don't forget to add cinnamon sticks to the cider for a little added flavor!

Happy Fall!
