2018 FALL BUCKET LIST | 11 THINGS TO DO THIS FALL

Carlyle Thornton October 3, 2018

It’s officially fall and although I’m sad to say goodbye to the sweet summer days, the feels of fall definitely have me excited! There’s just something about celebrating the seasons that takes me back to fun memories from my childhood. For that reason I still enjoy doing even the cheesiest things such as playing in the leaves, visiting a pumpkin patch and attending fall festivals. I’m more likely to do something when I write it down so I figured crafting a checklist was a must! I thought it would be fun to share my personal bucket list, which hopefully encourages you to make the most of the new season as well.
