Looking for some fun fall family activities? I really love fall in Texas- mainly because it’s only 90 degrees instead of the usual 100, lol! But I really do enjoy the changing autumn leaves and eventual sweater weather.
If you’re planning a fall bucket list for your family, or just want to come up with some new fall traditions, here are some great ideas to choose from!

Plan Your Options Ahead Of Time
It’s really helpful to have a list of ideas at the ready. Especially for those days when your plans are thrown off by the weather or a schedule change is needed for whatever reason.
If the kids are bored, this is an easy thing to pull out and tell them to find something on the list they can do with what you have at the house, or ask them to plan the next couple of weeks out with a few of the activities.
They could also make their own personal fall bucket list of things that are important to them.
