When we are able to get away at the right time (not every year unfortunately) we LOVE to pick apples! Our kids love the tree climbing part, and choosing the best or biggest ones. Or the one from the highest part of the tree or whatever. And we all love the fresh crisp apples and the apple pie that comes after.
We also like to hike trails in the mountains, again, if we can get away... we live in the deep south, so it is not cool at all here until sometimes December, and even then we have "shorts weather" some days.
I like to have the kids rake up the leaves and use the wheel barrow to make a big pile. They like to wheel each other around in the wheelbarrow. :)
They are 9 and 12.
Oh... and each of us carving our own pumpkins is something the kids just LOVE! They always talk about the year mine rotted and caved in before Halloween got here... hahah .. Like I said, we live in the deep south, and the heat and humidity do a number on those pumpkins pretty fast (they don't last buy maybe a week before they are FILLED with mold).
