Fall is such a fantastic time for families. Things have started to slow down after a busy summer, and we’re getting ready for a little more relaxation.
A fall bucket list is a great way for families to have some intentional fun. There are so many different things you can do with the kids in the fall. Depending upon where you live, the weather might still be warm or it might be cold and rainy. The ideas here will help you out no matter where you live.

Sometimes it’s easy to think of things to do with the kids, but sometimes it’s a challenge to find things that everyone wants to do. I’ve come up with a bunch of bucket list ideas that nearly everyone will enjoy. The nice thing is … most of them are free, too.
