Go to a Pumpkin Patch

Go to a Pumpkin Patch One of my favorite traditions of Halloween as a kid (and even now!) was going to the pumpkin patch and picking out your very own pumpkin to take home. Hay bale rides and hot apple cider are part of the wonderful experience of pumpkin patch fun that even adults can enjoy! Make sure to visit your local pumpkin patch this season, even if you don't plan on carving pumpkins, they make for excellent fall decor.

Stay in and Hand out Candy

Stay in and Hand out Candy This option is always a great one because it means you open your home to children who want candy on this kid-favorite holiday! Instead of the traditional bagged candy you find at the store, you can create a unique spin on it by handing out candy mixed with little toy cars, mini troll dolls, fun pencils, and various small dollar store items. Kids will appreciate something different and fun and will definitely remember your house for next year and how awesome it was.

As the season of Fall quickly approaches, all the activities associated with it make us excited and refreshed! What are some of the ways you plan on celebrating Halloween this year? Anything out of the ordinary you or your family like to do every year?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday since I can remember. I got married AND even had my vow renewal on halloween so it holds a special place in my heart but there is nothing better than seeing your child as excited as they get to dress up and trick or treat. It's really just one of those moments that stick with you. Maybe for me it's different because of how much I love the holiday an the fall but the pure excitement your child feels is so special. That's the main reason my husband and I still dress up with our son because it's such a great way to bring out your inner child while making memories with yours that, as a family, is unforgettable. Maybe dressing up might not "be your thing" but just wait until you have your own children and see how much things change!! :)
