Fall is such a beautiful season and it is a favorite for many of us! It fills our senses with so much to take in and enjoy. We asked our readers: “In addition to going to Pumpkin Patches, what do you love about Fall?”. We loved the responses and put them all together and called it:

Halloween is one of those holidays that we can celebrate all month long! We love decorating, haunted houses, and finding the perfect costume
10. Family
Enjoying Fall and everything it has to offer with your family was by far the most mentioned! We enjoy snuggling up with kids for a family movie night, all the things available for families to do together, hunting, fishing, yardwork, celebrating traditions and creating new ones, just hanging out with the family, enjoying holiday feeling, indoor activities, family dinners, craft fairs, and building leaf piles and jumping in them! Fall brings a feeling and sense of family.
