The days are getting shorter and
the temperatures are dropping but there are ways to keep up your energy
level during the cooler, darker days of fall.
- Organize an outdoor sporting event.
Before the snow starts to fall and the ground gets too hard from
repeated cold weather, organize a football or soccer match or kickball
tournament in your neighborhood. Find an open field or large yard where
you can host this match. If your friends don`t have the sporting
equipment, see if those participating can split the cost of the supplies
needed.
Find a trail. This is
the great time of the year to hike, bike, run or walk scenic trails.
Find a trail in your neighborhood and consider taking a friend. Take
your camera along to capture the beautiful fall colors you may pass
along the way.
Find a festival. This
is the time of the year when many county fairs take place as well as
fall festivals. They offer a great chance to get outside and see what
different craft vendors are offering. It could be a good time to start
Christmas shopping while also getting a bit of fresh air. Take advantage
of any local vendors selling fresh produce or organizations offering
tours.
Visit an apple orchard or pumpkin patch.
Apples are in season in the fall and there are hundreds of varieties to
choose from at apple orchards. Typically pumpkin patches offer petting
zoos, hayrides, a corn mazes or hay bales to climb. These are fun
activities for the whole family.
Be sure to keep WeatherBug active to receive the latest weather in your neighborhood and get the latest updates anywhere on
