I was searching for things to do with my family this fall season, and I was surprised by how much there was to do! Way more than I can put in here. I did promise on my social media pages that I would share my research with them, so here is my compiled list of things that were interesting to me and not too scary for my family, given that I have a 9 and 4 year old.
