Fall is here!
Fall – red and gold leaves floating to the ground, pumpkins and chrysanthemums – it’s such a beautiful and festive time of year! Chili and cornbread, hot soups and apple harvest to make delicious apple pies are my favorite fall foods. Halloween with all its yummy candy and spooky sights is approaching, too. My husband is a Halloween fanatic! He plans all year long for his ghostly graveyard display. Fall is full of fun!
When my kids were young, we’d make our annual trip to the local pumpkin patch and go for hayrides, complete with a trip through the spooky barn and people jumping from behind trees to scare us. We’d zoom down the slide, eat apples and drink cider while avoiding the bees that wanted some, too. We finished off our visit with a trip through the pumpkin patch to collect pumpkins for display in our yard.
These are a few of my favorite fall memories. What traditions or memories do you have about fall?
Cool! I don’t have a tradition i move around a lot so things change usually we have a Turkey, cranberry sauce,stuffing etc. Sometimes we eat pumpkin pie.
Hey, neat! I think your husband sounds really cool and it seems like you have a really cool family!
My family loves to go to the harvesting plations where we get our trees and we sit and get starbucks!Since we got my dog we actully get her a costume and new cloths. This Halloween Sydney topper and i are having a Halloween party and you guys are invited!
When is it???:)
Thanks 😀 Kayla
Also, I spent my Thanksgivings by getting together and having a party with other families, and then on Thanksgiving Day, I have a party with my grandparents.
But in normal fall days, I really don’t change my schedule.
We always chuck the pumpkins that we use. We literally chuck them. We throw them into the woods. I for one always like to know what I’m gonna be before October. Doing otherwise, however… results in very bad luck.
My favorite fall traditions are taking a small road trip down to my grandparents house every thanksgiving where we all meet up and get together and everyone talks and plays games until the food is ready. I love thanksgiving because my grandparents cook a homemade turkey with mashed potatoes slathered in a dark brown homemade gravy. I love their food and after thanksgiving I am always stuffed.
I LOVE THANKS GIVING!
Some of my fall memories are walking through a pumpkin patch and trying to find the perfect pumpkin, going to the apple orchard, piking the apples, and tasting the apple cider.
Every October, soon before Halloween, i go to a pumpkin patch with my Grandma and cousins who live there. Then on Halloween i go rick or treating with my friends while my parents give candy to people who come to our house.
My family used to go to Cox Farms a lot. Since my sister is now a freshman, and my brother is in 8th grade, they don’t care much for going to Cox Farms and traveling through the corn maze, taking a hay ride, and getting pumpkins. Now, me and my friends take my little sister and we go to Cox Farm and have tons of fun. We love fall, well at least me my little sister, and my parents do! We can’t wait to go to Cox Farm and pick pumpkins, and go on slides! I hope everyone has a great fall! But don’t forget, Halloween is right around the corner……..
my family likes to decorate our house A LOT for Halloween. and we also carve pumpkins and roast the seeds. we also have this tradition where the weekended after Halloween we go and buy new thins because that when it on sale. then we put it the basement and get it out next year.this year me and Kayla Kelly are going to attempt to have a party. and we are going to scare all of you!and your all invited.
Thanks Sydney and Kayla 😀
My favorite memories for fall are that I would always go to a pumpkin patch to get pumpkins for Halloween. My whole family would carve out pumpkins and my dad made this really goofy kind of face it was hilarious. The best thing about fall is November because its my birthday and I would always go outside to the leaves and do a cannonball. Those are my fall memories.
I spend about seven months with my dad making Halloween props and it is so much fun because we spend more time together and it looks so cool when we are all done with everything! Fall time is my favorite time of year!!
In the fall we don’t do anything special ( check first blog post about Thanksgiving to see more.
Every fall, my family go out to a relatives house for a party. We go to haunted houses, pumpkin patches,we even go trick or treating together!!!
but this year is going to be something more special, instead of going to a relatives house for a party, we are going to host one!!!!!! We’ll have it at our house on Halloween, every one of my friends will be invited!! And after partying, we’ll go trick or treating!!
OK now don’t tell me that this is boring,for me,this is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite fall memories is when my friends and I get our costumes. That we all do the same things. But my friend this year wants to be jam like peanut butter and jelly, but it’s not working out so hopefully she will get the costume I want her to get this year and my other friends want her to get!!
I have a tradition with my family that every year around Halloween we go to Great Country Farm. Every time we go on a hayride to get pumpkins I get a small one my mom gets a medium sized one and my dad gets a large one. Then we weigh our pumpkins and take them to our car and dad gets the picnic and we sit on the grassy area on a blanket and talk. After we go to their little mini putt putt course and play there is a little wooden swing I go on and swing and wait till we go to the next hole. The last thing is we get kettle corn and head up to a vineyard and look at the horizon and eat bread then we leave. that is a family memory that makes me happy about fall.
Well every single fall we usually try to carve a pumpkin,it fails but that’s what makes it special for me.But also we rake up the leaves and we we make leave-angels. But my favorite part of fall growing up is all the candy ;D from Halloween.But then it’s Thanksgiving and my grandma comes or we go to her house she makes these melting marshmallows over soft and sweet potatoes and there so good and they melt in your mouth….yummy. Then the pumpkin pie is delicious because it’s home made. So I hope you you like my comment. ;D 😀
My fall memories are going to party city store to buy our costumes. Another memory was trick a treating with my friends.
I am happy that fall is here to because I can go back to the pumpkin patch I go every year called cox farms. Every time we go there we go on a bunch of slides. We also go on a really fun hay ride. There are also a few rope swings we like to go on. I like to see how far I can go. Or I try to do a trick when I am in the air. I can’t wait to go back.
I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every fall, my mom and I try to find me the most awesome costume. So, we subscribed to a magazine that has amazing costumes. I once was a Indian princess. It was so beautiful! This year I’m going to Disney for Halloween so, I’m going as Minnie Mouse! Fall is a great time of year.
you are going to Disney?! Lucky!!
In Fall I go to a pumpkin patch with my next door neighbors, and pick out the best pumpkin. Then I help my dad decorate the lawn ,and I pick out my outfit, and go trickier treating!!!!!! Then when I get back I watch charlie brown Halloween!!!!!! In Thanks Giving my family comes down from Massachusetts and we eat a lovey feast!
My favorite tradition that I have about Fall is that every Halloween, my family and I go buy pumpkins. Then, we carve them into jack-o-lanterns, and put them out with a scarecrow on the front porch. After that, my brother and I go trick-or-treating and get lots of candy while our parents hand out candy. When we’re done, we eat it with hot cider.
My favorite fall tradition with my family is every year I go to a corn maze and go to the pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins and go on hay rides
My favorite thing to do For the fall is to go to the pumpkin patch, with my mom, dad, and little brother. I love to pick out a pumpkin with my little brother. My all time favorite thing is to go on the hayride with my family .

In the fall my favorite memories are carving the pumpkin with my dad, brother and sister. I love printing funny Halloween faces to carve on my pumpkin,and then taking the seeds and cleaning them to make delicious,salty, and crunchy pumpkin seeds with my mom. After we turn on the fire and eat the sunflower seeds and talk or read ( I usually read). I love fall.
One of my greatest memories in fall was the Pumpkin Patch. When we go to the Pumpkin Patch we go with my mom, dad, sisters, and brothers. My dad takes lots of pictures for memories and fun times. We go on hay rides, we go on huge moon bounces, big slides, go in spooky tunnels, get little pumpkins, there’s a camel ride, and we also get to feed and pet little farm animals.
The traditions I do with my family is that we go to cox farm, play around and get a pumpkin. Then the last night before Halloween my dad, sister, brother, mom, and I carve the pumpkin. Another tradition is that we go to my Uncle’s house and is house is a farm house. Some memories I had was going to cox farm and carving pumpkins. Playing in with my uncle’s dog. The hay ride was a good memory to. The hay ride was a good memory too.
Me and my family used to go to pumpkin patches every year and get a dozen pumpkins. We would decorate them and put them all over the house.But now all we do is watch movies and have popcorn and hand out candy. This year I’m going to take my little cousin trick or treating!
I Have A tradition that every fall my family would come over and we would play family games. We would play stuff like soccer,hot potato with kicking a soccer ball.
my favorite fall tradition is before trick or treating every one on our pipe stem had a party
Tell us more details, please!
Some of my families traditions is going to a pumpkin patch, finding the perfect pumpkin for the 3 kids, going home and carving them, decorating the front of my house, and then going trick or treating.
I love Halloween because i always go with my friends and family and we just have a great time! 🙂 I also like Thanksgiving because i always go to my grandmas house and we make the best pumpkin pie ever! This is what my family does in the fall!!!:):):):) 😀
🙂 🙂
😀
Some of my fall traditions are going to Cox Farms with family and friends. We would go down slides, eat apple pie and drink cider. I would also go pumpkin picking with my family. We would have so much fun!
That was a cool blog. I like to do that to and my family likes to go to different stores and look at the cool decorations. I also like going to fright night.
It sounds like your family really enjoys fall!!!In fall we normally also make our trip o the pumpkin patch and we going to New York to enjoy Thanksgiving. Both of my grandparents live in New York so I always go to one for dinner and one for dessert. Sometimes in New York we also go apple picking with my cousins. For Halloween I always dress up and and go trick or treating but we never make our house very scary.:p
I always love carving pumpkins and picking them out its so fun
More details, please!
I used to do the same thing with my family and friends. We’ed run around, go on hay rides, and collect pumpkins to bring home. My siblings and I would create scary, funny, or artistic pumpkin faces.
I like fall too. I like thanksgiving because we always eat delicious turkey and juicy pumpkin pie. I also like dressing up for Halloween. Sometimes I dress up as zombies or demons. My favorite tradition is that we go to a pumpkin patch every fall.
My family and I also like to go to the pumpkin patch and do all the fun activities like: slides, hay rides, hay forts/mazes pumpkin patch, forts and more fun stuff!
Me and my friend always dress up in matching costumes and go trick-or-treating together every year. The last time we went, we were vampires. And in 1st grade we were Mulan. It was really fun! 🙂
My family always goes to a pumpkin patch, and watch the pig races, and go on hayrides. We also always go through the hay maze and get pumpkins. We also have warm apple cider. When my sister and i finish trick- or treating we lye on the ground in the family room and eat candy until our stomachs hurt!
Every fall we go to cox farms, a really fun place with huge slides, corn mazes, and a petting zoo. When we go we usually bring a friend, and we will probably bring my brothers friend this time. When we first get there I already feel excited. The first thing that we do when we get there is start to go on some slides. I love the one where you come down on a giant one and race others. Then we do the corn maze. That was really fun. They always have really good food and apple cider and apples, so we always eat there. Every year they give out a free mini pumpkin to everyone that comes, so we take on on our way out. I love fall!
I also liked going to a farm were we were able to go down a slide and sit in a metal tube and you get spun. I remember 1 year I got in it to play hide and go seek and my brother saw me but I didn’t see him and he silently tiptoed to the back of the tube and all the sudden he started pushing it it was sort of scary
I love going to the Pumpkin Patch! My family and I go every fall around halloween time. All my little cousins, my brother, and me go on the big hay ride too. My little cousins like to look at all farm animals and sit on the small blankets and ride down the tall, long slides. At the end, when we go on the ride to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins to carve for halloween, we take a wagon along with us to carry the pumpkins on. I love going to the Pumpkin Patch with my family. Its so fun!
When it comes time for Halloween, I like to go and pick out candy to give out to all the other kids. Im also thinking about a haunted house this year too:)
Sorry for the separate comment posts but this is the last one for now. On Halloween night my dad and I like to go around scaring people. I get the most scares because I usually have the scariest or creepiest costume.
My favorite thing to do in the fall is go to the pumpkin patch and pick out the perfect pumpkin to carve for Halloween. I also love making and eating tons of fall delights. My favorite fall food is my Nana’s pumpkin seeds on eve of Halloween. I also love going to haunted house my favorites is the pev’s paintball haunted house its really good. Those are some of my Halloween these are some of my favorite fall traditions
I love fall. Your writing is so descriptive…. to descriptive!!! Your making me hungry!!! In my house we have a tredishion were every year we go to a speacil zoo. The zoo has this pumkin-fest were thers free cider, apples and pumkins. But there’s only one pukin per person. there’s also rides and games. It’s so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :b
Once me and my friend went to one of the fall festival things, and there were things like giant slides, slides made out of those big black plastic construction tube-things, inflatable bouncy things, and our favorite, a large inflatable bouncy are without those walls. It was around the size of a classroom, with 4 big hump-lumps on each corner. In the center, a very, very large hump with a cool red and gold design was full of kids jumping. Me and my friend made up a game where we try to through the small foam balls that were there at each other, if you got hit you have to pretend to faint and fall off of the lump in the center. We would climb to the top of one of the lumps and jump down onto the bouncy ground below, trying to bounce as high as we could. At the end of the day, we bought a hershey bar, a small bag of marshmallows, and 4 graham crackers. (they all came together in the make your own smores pack they sold) we went down to the bonfires they had and roasted our marshmallows and made smores. It was a very fun day…
I can remember growing up and all that Halloween fun filled nights. My friends dad built something called “juice cow” inside the fake cow was juice and when you squeezed the utter juice came out. I remember sitting in the huge pumpkins, riding hay rides. I feel like fall has a smell, I can smell all the fall like things, Pumpkins,apples, candy, and lots of other things. I cant wait until all the fun memories come back, but when they end i’ll have more to take about.
My fall tradition is picking pumpkins with my family at the local pumpkin patch. We pick out pumpkins that will be perfect for Jack-o-lanterns.My sister and I have so much fun helping carving the pumpkins and decorating them with spooky designs that will be on display on halloween night! Then my favorite part is when its near halloween and we get to pick out spooky costumes. But fall is great because I love how the leaves change pretty colors. And the smell of ripe apples and pumpkins. I love fall because of the wonderful traditions
My family goes with our neighbors for Halloween to trick-or-treat.They bring their cousins and we bring my baby cousins.We always carve pumpkins, but my dad does them too early so they’re always rotten and we just laugh.After trick-or-treating, we go to our neighbors and trade candy that we don’t like for candy that we do like.In the fall we rake the leaves off our neighbors driveways and take them to our house to make a big pile. We climb trees and fall into leaves at the bottom, we eat all kinds of fall themed foods like pumpkin pie and apple cider.That’s my family’s traditions for Halloween and fall.
My family’s main Fall traditions are Thanksgiving dinner and a few a Halloween traditions! Usually I invite a family member, and they stay over for the Thanksgiving week. We have a big dinner made up of mashed potatoes, pies, and more. My mom and her sister are from Britain, so they love to make pasties, which are cheese, potatoes and onions in a pastry, but you can put other things in there if you want. They also make Jacket Potato, which is a baked potato with Heinz beans, cheese, or other things if you like. My Halloween traditions are that we carve a huge pumpkin and take it to our friend’s Halloween party, one year I won the Scariest Pumpkin award!
Every year I go to a festival that has an animal petting zoo, hay rides that have people try to scare you on them, awesome slides, pumpkin patches, a station to paint the pumpkin you picked, zip lines, face paint, and many other things. I love going there because it is so much fun and you can’t get bored because it seems as if it could go on forever. I also like to jump in leaves, be silly with my friends, and dressing up on Halloween like something crazy and getting candy, I mean nobody can make fun of what crazy things you have on for Halloween rite?? I love doing all of these things so much!! It is what makes fall great!
when me and my mom used to live alone together in Maryland we used to go to the zoo with my godfather Gary and they would always have a pumpkin patch and we would all go play and run around and I would always make a new friend and we always have a blast!!!!!!!!But I some times I’ll bring my best friend Coceb. We loved each other like we where sisters and we would go run in the park and look at the leaves and say all the colors.Or I would go to Takoma Park with Savannah and Kye [my other to best friends].Takoma Park isn’t really a park it’s this hue shopping center outside with a giant grass field that they would have festivals on so every fall they would have one and that was my fall!!!!

What my family and I like to do on fall is pick a pumpkin and try to make a scary for HALLOWEEN!!!! (I LOVE CANDY!)
In my family we put up all the Halloween decorations together and we always have a blast.I am hoping to go to the pumpkin patch with my friends this year
I really like Fall because its the season of my birthday! And that Halloween is part of it too! The best part of Halloween is that you get to dress up to be scary! And for This Halloween, I’m going to buy my dog a costume too!
My Favorite part of the year is Halloween so picking pumpkins are so much fun.especially when u make jack o lanterns out of them and when people come they are like wow that’s awesome
I thought that your writing was very directive, and you made everything very elaborate. I would love to learn more words like that. when you decried some of it you used words that had nothing to do with it and made it make scene.
Thanks, but tell us what traditions and activities you do in the fall.
I love fall because all of the crisp clean air comes down from Canada and my birthday comes along in November. I also like because of the food like pumpkin pie.
My favorite part of the year is Halloween and picking pumpkins oh and i make jack o lanterns out of them so its pretty cool when ever someone knock on our door they are like wow that is awesome so yeah
Around the fall time there would be this fair and it was awesome!!! There would be pumpkin picking, a hay ride, a corn maze (with some fun little rides), and you get to feed and pet the goats, alpacas, and there are baby goats too!!! It’s adorable. But the fair closed for a few days and start decorating for there Halloween themed fair. My dad and I saw the reviews for the fair and people said it was really scary. During the hay ride people would jumped in your face or they touched you. I’m going to there Halloween theme fair this year!! I can’t wait!!! 🙂
That sounds really fun! where is that at? 🙂
Fall is my favorite season, i love how the leaves change the weather, and the festivity. I have big family dinners with my family. Every once and a while my mom makes pumpkin seeds, I love the smell of all the food on the table for Thanksgiving and my birthday dinner. I go trick or treating with my friends its a lot of fun, and i don’t even like candy! Most of all i love the smell of walking into A.C. Moore and getting a whiff of their seasonal stuff.
Please tell me who you are – either email me or let me know tomorrow. I won’t approve future comments unless I know who you are, okay? Thanks!

you don’t like candy? Well, that’s the first time i’ve ever that before.
I love how you decried everything. When you decried it you used words that were noting like it and you made it make scene. I hope to learn to decried my stores like that some day.
Thanks, but how do YOU spend fall? What traditions and activities do YOU do?
I LOVE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My birthday is this Saturday!
In the fall i go to a place called great country farms. It is really fun you can go on this big trampoline type thingy, you can see animals, go on a hayride to pick apples. there is lots more to do too. then around Halloween me and my sister go to a store called spirit witch has props and costumes.
My family usually does stuff around fall we sometimes we go to Great Country Farm and go on Hayrides and pick pumpkins. I usually get the smallest one and my brother gets the bigger one. Last year my baby sister Arianna got to paint her pumpkin. It was sooooo cute. 🙂 My mom put the pumpkin in front of her and she whipped the brush back and forth and back and forth. she got paint everywhere. On her clothes and herself. When it is Thanksgiving half of my family comes over we eat and sing songs and my brother and I put on plays. Your family sounds like fun Mrs. Smith. I hope you have a great Halloween and Thanksgiving! 🙂
i go out on halloween with my friends and go triker treating
I like fall. It’s so nice and peaceful. I like to ride my bike around and let the cool breeze hit my face, it reminds me of when I would have the fan on aimed right at my face on a hot summer day. It’s nice because not many people are outside in the fall so its quiet, just as quiet as the unpopulated moon ( Except the birds chirping ) Well that’s all I have to say about fall.
I LOVE the fall! the leaves are so pretty! every Thanksgiving we put up the Christmas tree. We also go to my Grandparents house on Thanksgiving. My dad never decorates for Halloween or Christmas. i Always ask but he always say no. fall is my favorite type of year.This Halloween im going to be Katniss Everdeen in the movie/book, Hunger Games. the only reason im Trick` or treating is because of my little brother. I will post more tonight. Bye 🙂
Please tell me who you are – either email me or let me know tomorrow. I won’t approve future comments unless I know who you are, okay? Thanks!
In the fall, I always go to my cousins house where my family and cousins gather and have
fun. The adults talk to other adults and the little kids (not the babies) play with other
little kids. The older kids, on the other hand, play with the babies, make up new games for
the little kids, and play with each other.Before or after the gathering, we also do
a festive celebration where we set-up pictures of our traditional gods (goddesses too) and dolls.
When thanksgiving is almost here my mother would go to costco and buy the turkey and everything else for Thanksgiving and makes my sister and I bevieve that she made it herself. We would help her “cook” and prepare the table. One by one our realatives would ring the doorbell we would all greet them. Everyone would sit by the table with the Thanksgiving turkey in the middle. I always hear my realiatives commenting how my mom cooks really well. I will always love Thanksgiving.
During the beautiful season of autumn, my family along with my cousins all the way from north Carolina, come to together and go apple picking in the orchard. We pick only the golden delicious, granny smith and gala apples. We aren’t really big fans of red delicious. We sit there together and talk while tasting each of the fresh, glowing, rich, apples. We also go out in our front yard, rake leaves into piles and jump on them!! The leaves fly in the air leaving colorful memories in my head. The golden glaze with red and orange splatters everywhere.The cool wind whooshes past my face!! My mom and I sometimes go on walks together and comment on the outstanding shades of red and orange with some tan and green. We also go to the pumpkin patch with our cousins and pick out a couple healthy, bright looking pumpkins. Around Halloween, the house gets really busy. We go out and the costumes from party city. We also carve our pumpkins into scary things like witches and werewolves. After we carve them, we roast the pumpkin seeds that come out. Yum!! The salty little moments awaken my mouth. My mom also uses the inside of the pumpkin and makes us an Indian sweet. Then I get along with my brother, cousins and mom and carve the two pumpkins. Then we go to party city get our costumes and go out for trick or treating. After that, we come home, and give away all the candy that we got from trick or treating and give to other children. Instead, we eat fruits drizzled with syrup and watch a movie.
for fall and halloween my family just walks down to clydes and goes to there pumpkin patch because thet are so close
