Fall Bucket List with your love one.

I’m so excited for this fall season! In Mexico City at this time of year we have beautiful sunsets and a lot of rain. But when I moved to Utah I learned that Autumn is a season to fall for. Is something in the air - in that beautiful crisp air that banishes the sweat of summer for another 9 months and begs me to curl up in a blanket or cuddle with me handsome husband by a fire.

This is our third fall together, Cam and I had a tough fall last year because I was in a car accident and I was recovering for almost 5 months. I made this list so we can enjoy every weekend together and use our time the best we can before thanksgiving. We live just ones!

I hope you get good ideas for you and your love one, or you and family, and don’t forget about friends.

•  Go to a pumpkin patch. I have no memory of a pumpkin patch and because in Mexico City we don’t have those, for some reason that just seems wrong so we need to go and enjoy the colors and the fun of it. This year we won't be picking up our pumpkin from the grocery store :) 

•  Hike a scenic trail. Cam and I spend lots of time outside but not to much exercising we aren't big into hiking but when we do it we enjoy it a lot so our motivation will be the colorful leaves, in Utah we have this amazing canyons that are picture perfect so I just feel we need to take advantage from it.

•  Get lost in a corn maze. Gone are the days of strategically planning who you go through with, but I have a feeling it will be just as fun and even more.

•  Explore a farmers market. I have diverse jams on my shopping list. I feel like jam should be something purchased only at a farmers market specially when I live 5 minutes walking distance from the garner village farmers market.

•  Bake a new recipe, together (bonus if it includes pumpkin, apple or cinnamon). I love cooking (something new since we got married), and Cam is quite the cook (just for breakfast tho), but it’s not something we enjoy occasionally together. Fall spices can fix this. 

•  Get cultured (play, orchestra, or dance performance). Fall marks the start of performing seasons for lots of companies and new exhibits at many museums. I'm hoping to get inspired by some tickets for a fun play.

•  Laugh at the zoo. Get tickets to the zoo and without the heat or the crowds, fall is the perfect time to use them. I imagine some animals are more fun to watch in the fall, less lethargic sans summer heat. 

•  Find a lake, wear a sweater, and play some Frisbee. There's no ocean here or that’s where I'd head. Large bodies of water are fun to cool off in during the summer, but I think they're equally as enjoyable under a layer of knit in a cool breeze. 

•  Read a book together. We both have goals to do a little more pleasure reading so I love this idea of reading the same book (either separately at the same time, out loud to each other, or listening to it on tape) so we can talk about it. 

•  Cuddle on the balcony. The cool evenings call for down comforters and night’s outdoors. I'm not sure we'll get much camping in this season.

•  Star gaze while drinking hot chocolate. If the hot chocolate is hazelnut or mint the night will be even better. 

•  Enjoy a final picnic. Picnics might sound summery but imagine pumpkin baked goods, oatmeal knit sweaters, and walnut salads surrounded by a sea of red and yellow leaves. It sounds like perfection to me.

•  Checking out a haunted house. We just when to this outdoor indoor hunted house with my sister in law and boyfriends and we had so much fun. Even though Cam pushed me, hug me, and scream all the time was a blast.

•  Football game. This is our Friday date, a Friday Night Lights kind of date. Our little bother is a senior in high school and he is in the football team, all my family in law loves football so is law for us to be there.

•  Fare states. The colors, smells, the food and the whole experience is so much fun!

•  Have a scary move night. We are watching a scary movie every weekend until Halloween and its fun when we do it with others. 

•  Horseback riding

•  Going on a hay ride

•  Apple picking/ apple cider mill visiting

•  Playing in the leaves

•  Dress in a couples costume

•  Make caramel apples

•  Go to a Halloween party

•  Host a chili cook-of

•  Shop for new Fall Clothes

•  Share stories by the bonfire

•  Watch Hocus Pocus

•  Carve a pumpkin

•  Host a (Halloween theme) baking-off

•  Take a foggy morning walk

•  Celebrate Dia de los muertos (set an ofrenda for my family)

We are so excited for this season!! Are you?
