It’s the middle of September, the temperature is dropping, and fall is right around the corner! Here is a list of fun fall activities for you and your family!
My favorite time of year is when I can wear sweatpants and sweatshirts, drink hot chocolate, watch Halloween movies, and see the leaves changing colors. Unfortunately, we aren’t there yet, but we are so close! In Northern Utah, the temperature is dropping down to mid 80s or low 70s! Before it gets too close, check out this list of fun fall activities for everyone to start planning!
