Autumn is such a magical time of year, as well as my personal favorite season. The leaves change colors, trees look alight with the fires of autumn, and the days become a little darker, and a little colder, hinting at the hibernation to come. Each autumn, my husband and I have an unofficial list of things we like to do before the season ends, and I wanted to share with you 50 fun things to do this fall.

What kind of fun things do you plan to do this fall? Is there anything you’d add to this autumn bucket list? Robin and I have already checked off a few of these things, and the season has just begun, so hopefully we can do all of these things before the snow hits in a couple of months.
