Parenting From Amanda Rock, your About Parenting Editor My family and I are so looking forward to the upcoming three-day weekend. For the most part, all extracurricular activities are canceled, and the kids should be homework-free. We don't have any real plans either, just vague intentions to pick some pumpkins, watch some football, and spend time together as a family. Fall Activities the Whole Family Will Enjoy While I would truly be content sitting on the couch, reading a book or two all weekend, my kids really wouldn't be too thrilled with that plan. So instead, I think I'll take a look at this list of ten fall activities that promise to be fun for everyone.

He was about a month old and completely dwarfed by some of the pumpkins we put him next to. It was adorable!

It's actually an activity we all enjoy to do together. My older kids are able to take on tasks with a little more responsibility, and my younger guy is just happy to be part of all the action. Stephanie has some great recipes for us to try out.
