Looking for ways to enjoy the fall season, while keeping your family safe during COVID-19? Here’s our huge fall bucket list, full of ideas for making beautiful (and socially distanced!) memories.
Fall is heading our way and I had the realization the other day that the upcoming holiday season is going to look a lot different than any year we’ve known. Thanks to our friend COVID-19, it probably won’t be safe to go trick or treating or head to the busy pumpkin patch or have a huge family gathering for Thanksgiving.
Thanks, 2020.
Instead of lamenting, though, I’ve decided to continue to build resilience in our family by figuring out what we CAN do, instead of focusing on what we can’t.
Because we live in a new area, I decided to create a fall bucket list so that we can safely enjoy the fall season, both at home and around town a bit. Each idea on this fall bucket list can be done while social distancing, and you can modify them depending on your area’s COVID-19 guidelines and your family’s comfort.
