I’m one of these people that doesn’t like to start enjoying the new season while the last is still in full swing…especially if the season ahead of me leads straight into WINTER. I hate winter! It’s great for like a month, in December while everything is so cheerful and fun for the holiday season, and then it becomes 3-4 months of doom and gloom. So for this reason, I can’t in good conscience start participating in Fall things during August, or while it’s still in the 80’s/90’s every day. I get excited about Fall when sweater weather starts…I love wearing layers, and cool temps give me an excuse to rock my “self employed girl” look every day and not look like I’m wearing pajamas outside.

Since our Summer bucket list worked out really well and encouraged us to make time for fun things, I thought I’d make a Fall Bucket List this year too! A lot of people might not realize this, but Summer is actually not the busiest season for wedding photographers…that would be Fall! Our October this year is almost twice as busy as our May was! Things don’t really slow down again til early Dec!! Anyway, here are a list of things I’d really like to do for fun this Fall!

Bake muffins/banana bread
Cook chili in the crockpot
Go to a Football game
Eat many fried things at the State Fair
Go camping in the mountains
Pick apples and make applesauce
Carve pumpkins
Watch Hocus Pocus AND drink hot spiced cider with rum
Make second Thanksgiving (a Nesbitt tradition)
Run a half marathon
Go kayaking
Check out an Oyster Festival

Note that scary movies are not on my list. I’m way too much of a wuss for that. Are they on your Fall bucket list? Let me know what you’re hoping to do by leaving a comment!
