It's that time of year again: pumpkin spiced everything. Whether it's a latte, cider, ale, or anything in between, now's the time.

Carve pumpkins

Giphy

Get out your carving tools and pick out your design! And if you're feeling a little crazy, you could even make it a jack-o-lantern!

Roast pumpkin seeds

Giphy

After you've carved your pumpkin, there's nothing better to do with all the seeds than to roast 'em! Super simple and super yummy!

 Hay ride

Giphy

Bundle up and grab some friends! If you're really feeling the Halloween vibes, a haunted hay ride never fails to set in the spookies!

Make your friends a Halloween basket

Giphy

Put anything from candy to a few good halloween movies in there, and no matter what it is, there's no doubt it'll brighten up their day

Watch Hocus Pocus

Speaking of Halloween movies..... this one is a "must-watch" around Halloween time

Giphy

Now's the time to stock up for trick-or-treaters!

Make a good playlist and hit the road! Even grab some friends to join you too, and go look at all the leaves while they last.

Drink cider

Lots of it. You can even do a coffee-shop-hop and go around your town to various coffee shops, trying to find the best cider.

go to a Corn Maze

Divide your friends into teams and see who gets out first!
