40+ Ways to Have Fun Outdoors This Fall

Do you Fall in love with Pumpkin Spice Season?

Sweaters, apples, scarecrows, and the smell of pumpkin spice everything! We admit it, we fall in love with autumn every year. The whirlwind of summer is overtaken by the storm of artistic leaves and our need to grab the last moment of crisp air before it becomes cold. Quickly winter arrives and, in New Jersey, that can mean snowstorms and being huddled indoors for days or hours which can feel like days. Being outside is still an absolute joy especially when indulging in simple activities that celebrate this season.
