Fall is my favorite season, and it’s a great time to spend outdoors with your family! There are tons of things to do, most of which come at little to no cost. Unlike summer, with its costly trips to water parks, roller coasters, and pools, fall is filled with more local and frugal opportunities. Heather at Family Friendly Frugality has several ways that you can get outdoors and enjoy the fall weather with your loved ones:
Pumpkin Patches: Starting October 1st, you can’t go 2 miles without hitting a pumpkin patch. They are held by churches, local farms, floral shops, I’ve even seen some attached to grocery stores!
Fairs, Festivals and Picnics…oh my! Fall is the time for Halloween carnivals, fall festivals, company picnics and so much more! Take advantage of these free outdoor events and bring your own drinks and treats and soak in the sights.
Take a road trip. Fall is the perfect time of the year to just take a short road trip. Pick a town a bit out of normal driving distance and head on over to check out the sights.
