Thursday Thirteen – 13 Autumn Activities for Business & Family
September 25, 2008 by Mary Emma Allen
Autumn brings to mind harvest time and fun activities my family and I enjoy. Some businesses are condusive to family activities, while with others you might incorporate a few into decorations and advertising.
I also found autumn a pleasant time when I was growing up on the farm even though we had to work hard, too, gathering in the crops and picking the apples my father raised. This was a family enterprise into which we were involved in fun activities as well work.
Here are some activities you might enjoy with your family. Perhaps some could be incorporated into your business, too.
- Carving pumpkins
- Painting faces on pumpkins
- Picking apples
- Making apple dishes such as applesauce, pies, and crisp (and reading recipes)
- Taking hikes midst autumn scenery
- Raking leaves into piles and jumping into them
- Drinking apple cider and munching on donuts
- Making Halloween costumes
- Reading autumn stories
- Drawing autumn pictures
- Making collages with leaves and pictures from magazines
- Creating an autumn scrapbook
- Telling ghost stories
- Gather leaves and press them
What do you do in the autumn? What are favorite activities in your family?
