It’s Fall Y’all

September 22nd, the day Fall begins. Leaves start to change colors and fall from branches. The weather starts moving down a couple degrees every other week. Sweaters begin to emerge from deep within our closet where we buried them from last year. 

Fall brings out the most joyous of moments between family and friends. When the weather is perfectly cool, and everyone begins to gather, you start to wonder what are some fun things that everyone can enjoy while enjoying the outdoors.
