Did you know that D11 just added a new break in the middle of October? I’m not trying to complain, I’m excited for a break, but what will we do? It is too cold for all the summer activities, but just warm enough to get outside to hang out with friends. While you might think there is nothing to do, there is a lot!
Fall is a perfect time to be outside. With the colors of the trees changing and the cool weather, it’s perfect! If you do like being outside I recommend going on a hike or camping. Some fun hiking places are Garden of the Gods, Palmer Park, Helen Hunt Falls, and Seven Bridges.
Garden of the Gods has a lot of little paths to take and you are likely to see some animals. Palmer Park has a lot of really cool trails with beautiful views and is a good place to take your dogs. Helen Hunt Falls has a beautiful waterfall with some stunning views. Last. Seven Bridges is a trail with… seven bridges, and it is also near Helen Hunt Falls.
If you still want to be outside, but you don’t like to hike. There are still plenty of things to do, for example, pumpkin patches and festivals. You may not think there are any pumpkin patches or festivals, but there are a lot. For pumpkin patches, there are the Miners’ Pumpkin Patch, Venetucci Farm, Fall Mountain Farm, and The Great Pumpkin. There is a lot more to look at if you have time. A cool festival to go to is the Harvest Festival at Rock Ledge Ranch. They have a lot of really cool activities.
Now you know about some things to do in the fall outside of school. Maybe you want to be more involved with school. Some events coming up in October are, “October Fest” on the 4th, the Band Concert on the 8th, the Art Festival on the 11th, and Trick or Treat on the 19th. There are also a lot of sports events coming up like football, volleyball, and softball. So if you want to be more involved at school I would recommend looking on the school website.
If you don’t like to be outside or you don’t want to spend that much time at school and you just want to hang out with friends. There are still plenty of things to do. For example, you could check out some new movies coming out in October. If you like scary movies, “Smile 2”, “Down Below”, and “Seven Cemeteries”. If you prefer less scary movies, there is “Joker: Folie a Deux” and “Beetlejuice 2” There are many other movies to choose from at home too like “Gremlins”, “Pet Cemetery”, “Beetlejuice”, “Halloween”, and so many more.
You are more interested in staying home. Cooking can be a fun activity to do at home and relax, and there are a lot of different recipes to choose from online. You can also do crafts like creating decorations for your room or painting. You can shop online for your fall wardrobe, and if you like to plan you can even start buying Christmas presents.
In the end, fall may seem like a boring uneventful season, but there is so much to do and get involved in. While there are times when you know exactly what you are going to do, there are also times when you don’t. As you can see, there are plenty of different and new things to do and enjoy this fall. So get involved and enjoy this season before the winter when it is too cold to do anything.
