9 Fun Kid-like Things To Do In October

It’s time to stow the flip-flops up north, but on borderline days I’ll still wear them for spite.

When the weather starts to chill it’s a good excuse for grown-ups to do fun things — with or without children — and channel their inner child.

Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Carve pumpkins (roast the seeds)
2. Tailgate with friends (have a chili cook-off contest)
3. Bake an apple pie (or make caramel apples — use seasonal apples)
4. Go leaf-peeping (or take a long walk through a park where the leaves are in full-color)
5. Go apple picking (See #3 on what to do with them. Also drink fresh cold cider & eat hot cider donuts)
6. Sit around the campfire (Halloween night we do this, with a glass of wine, waiting for trick-or-treaters)
7. Plant spring bulbs (Clean up the yard and “Think Spring!”)
8. Munch on Halloween treats (save a few good pieces for yourself)
9. Get lost in a corn maze (use a smartphone app in case you get lost!)

What are some of your favorite things to do during the fall?

BE F*CKING AWESOME TODAY!
