Leaves!!

With fall  approaching the colors are changing! We are truly lucky to be living in the breathtaking state of Colorado during this time. Rocky Mountain National Park is well known in Colorado for its beautiful scenic views of changing leaves during fall and is a great place to take pictures, enjoy the beauty, or even go on a hike. If you can’t make it up to RMNP have fun in your own yard.

Go fruit picking.

Fruit picking is a very fun, healthy activity to do with friends or family. September through October is the best time to pick apples and pears. Not only is fruit picking a healthy activity but it also supports local Colorado farms.

Bake.

The kitchen is calling your name. Fall is the best time for treats and sweets. With carmel apples and kettle corn, to pies of any flavor and pumpkin bread, there is always something to be made. With baking you can always add your own touch and make it into something delicious.

Fall is a great time to rewatch classic spooky movies or enjoy the present and watch new spooky movies. So, cozy up under the blankets, get the popcorn, and sit back and relax.
