This time of year brings so many exciting changes and activities! The air begins to get a little cooler, the kids are back in school, fall sports are in full swing, and just about everything is now offered in pumpkin spice!
I love this season, especially experiencing it here in the South. I am originally from Pennsylvania. And while autumn was lovely up there, it got really cold, very quickly. I felt like we had to rush to squeeze in all of our favorite things before we were bundled up from head to toe.
But here in the Lowcountry, we can enjoy fall and be outside for pretty much the entire season! This is why I felt inspired to put together this bucket list of 50 fun things to do together as a family.
This year, and especially this season, I encourage you to get outside and make some fun memories! Below is a list of fall-themed ideas to help you get started.
