Hello Friday!
I don’t know about you, but it’s been one l-o-n-g week and I am so happy to see Friday! Fall weather rolled in nicely this week and it looks like a beautiful weekend ahead. When I don’t have to be inside for my son’s hockey game or practices, I plan to be out making the most of it.
Courtney, Mar and Cynthia are asking everyone to share their favorite fall activities for this week’s #FridayFive – well I could go on and about my love for the fall, but here are a few things that definitely top my list:
- Hiking — Hiking is a favorite family activity. We are lucky enough to have some great trails within a short drive from our house. I love that the whole family gets out together – even our dog. And, with the fall foliage as a backdrop, you can’t ask for a more perfect way to spend an afternoon.
- Apple Picking — Another family fave is apple picking. We’ve gone every year since the boys were really little. In fact, we’re toying with going this weekend! It just doesn’t seem like fall until we’ve hit our favorite orchard.
- Cooking — After spending most of every summer living off the grill, I really enjoy getting back in my kitchen to do some cooking. I just watched the season finale of Master Chef and am inspired to get back to trying some new recipes!
- Football — I am a huge football fan and I love that the fall means the return of watching and attending football games.
- Running and racing — While I am missing running terribly right now, I couldn’t put a top 5 list together and not include it!
What’s your favorite fall activity?
Mine is NOT running marathons yet that is what I seem to keep doing. I’ll be very happy to have this one over!

I have never been apple picking, but always wonder what you do with all of this apples?! Do you make sauce or cider, or just eat lots of apples? I could go for that!

There’s definitely a lot of baking – apple bread, apple pie, apple tarts. Some years my boys get carried away with how much they pick and we end up doling the extras out to friends and neighbors 🙂
Summer is spent so much on the grill that it will be a nice change using the oven again and not feeling like you are going to roast while cooking something in it.

Yes- combining the baking with the apples and the football…Well, that is why I love running! LOL! Well, one of the reasons! I will be apple picking this weekend too- and hopefully eating lots before they even get in the bag!

Hiking has to be so nice this time of year – I have to admit I’ve never gone hiking in the fall! I’m just hoping the 90 degree days are behind us for the rest of the year!

I love watching football too, but running in the cooler weather is my favorite activity. Both are going to be different here in China though 🙂

I love fall festivals at farms – usually there’s apple picking, hay rides, pumpkins, kettlecorn, cider donuts, etc. They’re always so much fun!
