Fall Bucket List

I'm definitely a summer girl but there is always a point in September where I look forward to fall. The weather has turned and as much as I was sad for the 90 degree weather to leave, I'm ready for the cool evenings around the fire, crisp leaves underfoot and cozy wool sweaters. At the start of every season, I always have high hopes and make a bucket list of items that I want to do during the next few months. Most of the time I accomplish some but fall is just a little crazy with a major fundraiser at the library and the wedding!

My Fall Bucket List (not a cool infographic like on Pinterest because I don't have time for that)

Go on a hayride.

I can already check this off the list because this is our transportation for the wedding. The wedding party gets to take a hayride around the camp for pictures and then arrive back at the dining hall via a genuine camp hayride.

Make s'mores on a bonfire.

I haven't had one s'more all summer. How disappointing! It was either rainy or too hot to have a fire most nights this summer but fall is perfect for using the fire pit and making a delicious s'more. I'm too cheap for these sometimes though but I will splurge soon.

Go to a pumpkin patch.

The pumpkin patch is the epitome of a perfect fall afternoon. I don't even know the last time I went to a pumpkin patch. I'm not a big Halloween person. However, I want to this year. I think more the opportunities to take awesome photos of pumpkins.

Decorate or carve a pumpkin.

I can check this off because I'm making puking pumpkins with the tweens at the library. I could make a normal one too though if I'm going to the pumpkin patch. We made really fun ones two years ago at the library with candy. I also spray painted one.

Go on a fall picnic.

I love picnics and I didn't get to go on one this summer, so it will have to happen in fall. We live so close to Highland Park that it would easy to just go there and enjoy the fall foliage, walk the trails and enjoy fall.

Hike and take lots of picture of the scenery.

This one I will be able to check off as well since we are going to Hocking Hills after the wedding. It is the best hiking around there and the best pictures. Now I have a camera to use too but I'll have to be careful since its challenging hiking.

Celebrate Friends-giving!

Dennis and I decided that we wanted to have a Friends-giving this year at the apartment. We probably won't get to celebrate Thanksgiving together, so this will be one way to do that as well. Plus we want to cook for all our friends.

Rake leaves.

I don't have a rake or a yard for that matter, so this probably won't be happening. There aren't any trees at my parents house either. I will just have to make myself available to my friends who have yards. Call me.

Go to a Mount Union game.

On Mount to victory! It's been way too long since I was at a Mount game. It's probably not in the cards this fall but nothing beats a Saturday afternoon cheering on the Raiders to another victory.

Go to Bob's for Halloween.

Halloween at Bob's is fabulous and it is so much fun to dress up and watch all the cougar Playboy bunnies strut their stuff and sing karaoke. Moscow Mules here I come!

That's my fall list. Not sure what will actually happen. Happy Fall!
