30 Things To-Do This Fall

With Autumn among us, comes several activities that are much more enjoyable this time of the year. Here's a list of some of my favorites, along with a few specific locations. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

1. Go apple picking

Meadowlark Farm - 11249 SW 160th St, Rose Hill, KS, 67133

They offer a large variety of apples, peaches, and veggies that you can pick yourself! You'll also find them at the Farmers Market in Wichita & Derby. http://www.themeadowlarkfarm.com

2. Get lost in a corn maze.

The last few years, this has been one of my favorite things!

Bergmann's Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch - 8401 S. Meridian, Haysville, KS 67060

They have the largest corn maze in Wichita. Over 200 fun trivia questions are hidden in the maze, and it's so much fun to do with a huge group at night. They ALSO have giant slingshots, Tri-cycle races, pony rides, concessions, a pumpkin patch, and much more. http://www.bergmanncornmaze.com

3. Take a hot-air balloon ride.

I've never done this, but it's something I'd love to do! There's several options for this around Kansas if you look online.

4. Go for a hike!

Ever been to Coronado Heights? If not, this is fun for a day-trip! Lot's of hiking and beautiful lookouts. Otherwise, find a trail at your local park! It's the perfect weather for adventuring.

5. Go for a hayride.

I always tag-along to a hayrack ride/pot luck with my grandmas church. It's something I've looked forward too since I was a little girl!

6. Collect colorful fall leaves

Take a walk in the park, and see what you can find. You could also take a basic leaf throwing picture to celebrate!

7. Rent a cabin in the mountains, or near the lake!

8. Tailgate at a football game

Doesn't matter what team, tailgating is always fun! Be sure to do it at LEAST once.

9. Participate in a local race

There are hundreds of difference races/5k/marathons during this time. Not a runner? Some of them are for fun to raise money for different philanthropies. You DON'T have to run the entire time.

10. Take a long drive on the back roads.

Windows down, music up. Take random turns. Enjoy the drive.

11. Make a pinecone bird feeder

Don't know how? Here's directions.

12. Fall in love with a "fall" recipe.

I recently made Pumpkin Pie Truffles, and they were AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend. You can find that recipe here:

13. Shop at your local farmers market

Man, there's something about going and buying your fruits and veggies from the market that is so fun! Plus, it's important to go support you local farmers.

14. Make/eat candied/caramel/chocolate covered apples

Don't know how? Choose what you want to dip the apple in. Then dip it in your choice of toppings like oreo, m&m, etc. Let them dry, then eat em' up!

15. Drink hot apple cider, or a chai latte!

16. Make a big batch of chili

Oh, don't have a recipe? No worries, I got you covered.

17. Carve pumpkins

If you don't carve pumpkins, was it even fall? Seriously, though.

18. Make your own Halloween costume

Pinterest. Pinterest. Pinterest. Trust me.

19. Go on a Haunted Trail, or in a Haunted House!

Ever been to Worlds of Fun (Kansas City) during October? They have it decorated and several haunted parts! If you're in Wichita, The Field of Screams is AMAZING. If you're near Manhattan or JC, Zombie Toxin rocks as well. If you're in KC, check out Edge of Hell.

20. Halloween movie marathon

Need a few ideas? Halloweentown, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Addams Family, Edward Scissorhands, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Harry Potter, Hocus Pocus, etc.

21. Throw a Halloween party!

With Pinterest around, how could you even go wrong? There's so many simple DIY ideas for this.

22. Decorate your house with halloween/fall decor!

Same with 21, Pinterest is the answer to all of our prayers. HOLLA!

23. Snuggle up in all your warm sweaters.

Target & Old Navy are breaking my bank right now, but at least I'm warm and fashionable!

24. Build a bonfire, and have people over for smores!

25. Attend a fall festival

There's several festivals at this time of year. Of all different types! Look up fall festivals in your area.

26. Wear your favorite jeans

I'm not a fan of jeans, but some days are perfect for them. And I do have a pair that I absolutely love.

27. Remember what you're thankful for

Take a moment out of every single day to realize all of the positive things in your life. Whether that is people, or opportunities you've been given, be thankful. Not only that, but voice how thankful you are. I've never heard a single person complain that someone stated that they were thankful too much.

28. Go to a pumpkin patch

I listed one a few lines up, but another one of my favorites is...

Sunny Side Pumpkin Patch - 11500 S Hopkins Rd, Assaria, KS 67416

Sunny Side has a beautiful big red barn for events and big groups, concessions, a petting zoo, 6 acres of pumpkins, 2 corn mazes, and lots of fun games for the family!

29. Find some new fall scents for your home

Need ideas or inspiration? Don't worry, I wrote about it in my last article! https://www.theodysseyonline.com/fall-scented-candles-at-bath-and-body

30. Spend time with your loved ones.

I cannot stress this enough. Love on the people in your life. Because in the end, people will always be there when times are good and when times are bad.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
