My parents bought a lake cabin a little over a year ago; we spent this fall soaking up the fall colors and fishing until the water got cold and we had to take the boat out.
The most fun I had this fall was going on a haunted hay ride. We had a blast! Thanks for the chance to win.
It's been a pretty work-focused fall this year, but we had a lot of fun taking our daughter to a state park on a beautiful fall day and after being outside there for a while we took a boat tour through a cave!
our best fall activity was the fall festival - my little boy loved the slides and the goats!
Might not be terribly exciting, but I always look forward to carving pumpkins in the fall, so that's always fun! :)
we went to the beach in September! That was fun.,
Most fun thing (bearing in mind these were with a toddler!) were jumping in puddles and kicking leaves around!
The most fun we did this fall was take our dogs to the beach. It was great, and we had a picnic in the car : )
The most exciting thing every fall is the Circleville Pumpkin Show every October! Thanks for the chance to win!

The one of the most fun things I did this fall was raising money for the Heart Walk and then dressing as the Queen of Hearts for the Walk. It was a great time.

fall for me is all about the fall leaves.
The most fun thing we did this fall was join a local farmers' market as vendors. It was the most amazing experience - the whole family got involved & had a blast. Runner up was buying our first property - insanely & surprisingly fun. Then I got to learn to use a chainsaw clearing said property :)
Best thing I made was custom patio umbrella covers - no pattern, just went for it!
I am not sure I did anything fun this fall lol, not specifically fall related. I do enjoy when my 3 yr old brings me pretty leaves though :)

Honestly, the coolest or most fun thing I did this Fall was take a couple of art classes with Dyan Reavely of Ranger. I admire her work and product line, so I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the chance to win this cool basket of goodies, it is very generous of you to offer it.
I am a GFC follower, thank you for the additional entry!
I'm super-excited about a quilt I'm finishing up for my dad. I used the Starburst tutorial and some quilting designs from Angela Waters' book.
The most fun thing I did this fall was go to a great harvest festival with my kids!
It's still fall, right? So I'd have to say attending the Candlelight Processional at Disneyland. I guess that may considered winter-y, so making apple butter, from scratch, for the first time, would be another choice.
most fun thing I did was join a historical society and I got to decorate the sewing room in a vintage quilt theme.
The most exciting thing was to hear our baby laugh for the first time :). Great giveaway assortment! Thanks for the chance to win!
The most fun thing I did this Fall was going to the park with my three-year-old.
Thank you for the generous giveaway and the chance.
Have a Nice Holiday!
I got pregnant! Thanks for the giveaway!
The most fun thing I did this fall was, I think, my daughter's birthday. :D
I'm following you!
We had so much fun this fall making cider. The whole process was joy: finding unwanted apples and picking them, the pressing party, drinking fresh cider, listening to hard cider ferment away, and boiling down a few gallons to make delicious cider syrup. All was delightful!

Trick or treating with my 3 year old son (IronMan) was the greatest thing we did this fall. Thanks for the opportunity.
We kept it simple this fall. Lots of raking and jumping in leaves over here!
The nicest thing mum and I did this fall was drive to Toronto and back, seeing the fall colours along the way - plenty of ooo's and ahhhh's. Funny, it's the same thing every year, but it never fails to impress. Thanks for hosting this VERY GENEROUS giveaway.

Took the kids to a fun farm that had just about everything imaginable to do including a zip line and huge pit of corn kernels.

thanksgiving holiday at my sister in laws was heavenly. We ate, talked, had ping pong and fusball contests, watched movies and talked.
The funnest thing was celebrating my birthday! It's my favorite thing about fall. :)
The most exciting thing we did was buy 30 acres where we will build our new home in the spring.
The most fun I had was our Thanksgiving mid-day dinner with my sister and all of her kids and grandkids. I recently attempted making some stuffed animals and found it to be great fun.
We've just finished Spring here in Australia (and are heading into the most bizarre Summer weather ever! Think Sunny, Sunny, Rain, Thunder, Hot, Thunder, Rain, Sunny, Hail, Sunny..)
My favourite thing we did this Spring was celebrate a friend's wedding in their backyard - garden party style (my husband and kids were in the bridal party, and I made the wedding cakes). The roses were blooming, the ceremony was perfect.. and then it rained for the reception! But a good time was had by all. :)
We went to an apple orchard and picked apples, milked a cow, watched pig races, and ate too many apple fritters! Thanks for the great giveaway.
I had surgery :( But....the most fun I had right before that, maybe mid August, was take my grand-daughter to my daughter's house, different state, for a vacation! And us 3 gals had a ball!!
We did lots of camping and it was wonderful. The weather was good and the children really enjoyed being outdoors.
New to posting. I enjoyed reading some of your blog posts. Definitely planning on returning for further reading. Thanks for taking the time.
One of my favorite things to do every fall is to go to the pumpkin patch. I used to take my girls when they were little and now they accompany us when we take my niece and nephew. It's a family affair.
I love autumn! My favorite event this fall was a big family dinner with all my children.

One Saturday that was too pretty to waste, we went to a nearby downtown area that has a great walking/biking trail and is connected over the river by old railway bridges -these have been refitted for walking/riding. Then we went out to another new walking trail. Saturday afternoon + my family and me = fun! Then off to try a new restaurant that we now just love!

Nothing in particular jumps out at me. I did enjoy today in Hancock's playing peekaboo with my toddler beside a group of curtains. She loved it and apparently so did everyone else in the store.
