Fall Activities for Families in the Fraser Valley

I love the fall! It’s one of my favourite times of year. Not just because my birthday is October 11th and Halloween is one of my absolute favourite holidays. The leaves are changing, the weather is a tad crisper, boots and winter jackets replace shorts and t-shirts and there is something about fall that says… let’s enjoy!

With fall also comes boredom though, especially for kids. The colder weather can sometimes put a damper on kids playing outside the way they did in the summer. So how can families enjoy the season of change and beat the boredom blues?

Family Fall Activities everyone can enjoy here in the Fraser Valley!

Bake a fresh apple pie – or use this recipe for a no bake pie if you are baker challenged like myself!

Make home-made apple sauce.

Go apple picking at the Apple Barn and then visit the pumpkin patch while you are there!
