Around our house, we’re looking forward to this fall for many reasons. Maybe it’s just us daydreaming of cooler weather and once again enjoying the great outdoors (or maybe it’s the excitement of our first — and last — fall season as a family of three), but we are planning a full Halloween and Harvest Season.
If you’re looking for a few ideas, here are ours. We’d love to hear about your favorite fall activities in Austin as well, so please comment and tell us how you plan to spend your family time this season. Check out our Austin Events Calendar for these and other activities.
