autumn bucket list

happy first day of autumn, aka the best season of the year!  crisp mornings, beautiful colors, and pumpkin-flavored everything -- does it get much better than that!?  today i would like to share with you five of my favorite fall activities:

1. tailgating -- football + team chants + corn hole
2. apple picking -- tall brown boots + apples cider doughnuts + spicy aromas
3. pumpkin carving -- hayrides + pumpkin seeds + the monster mash
4. trail hiking -- colorful leaves + picnics + cozy knit sweaters
5. halloween-ing -- hocus pocus + fake cob webs + creative costumes

what are your favorite autumn activities?
