Fall Favorites

One thing we have always agreed on as best friends is that Fall is and always will be the greatest season. We've already shared our love of Fall and the anticipation we felt with it right around the corner. Now that it's here, we are listing our favorite things that makes Fall the best out of all the seasons. Let's see if you agree!

Apple picking- One of our traditions growing up was to go to Broom Orchard in Carlinville, about an hour from our home.  We would get up early on a Saturday and make a whole day of it.  After we left the Orchard, my dad would always drive further south to take us on the ferry and a drive on the Great River Road to look at the leaves changing. This has always been a favorite childhood memory of mine and a tradition I have tried to keep up with as an adult.

Leaves changing color
Pumpkin spice ANYTHING
Windows open
Thanksgiving
Bonfires- Whether it’s a fire pit in your own backyard or attending a big party outside, there’s nothing that screams fall more than a bonfire.  It’s all about the smell of the burning wood, the color of the embers and roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. 

Fresh baked goods 
Sweatshirts and hoodies
Fall scented candles
Indian summer- I have always looked forward to an Indian summer just before we hit a long, cold winter, There's something about that last warm day to remind us how great Summer was but how amazing Fall will be.

Evening skies
Crisp air
Pumpkins
Warm blankets
Football
Weekend drives
Chili
Rainy days
Halloween candy- Candy has always been a weakness and poor Pax will have to share all of his chocolate Halloween candy with his mama, or else. LOL. But lately, we've been on a candy corn/peanut mix kick because it reminds us of a PayDay candybar. What's your favorite candy? 

Festivals
Hay rack rides
Chex mix
Scary read/movie
Mums
Date nights in 

What's your thing about Fall? Did we miss any? Happy Wednesday Friends!
