Collect Fall Leaves
What are you going to do with all of those leaves on the sidewalk and in the yard? Most of the time, we blow them away, rake them up and discard them. But why not use them to create art projects? You can use the leaves to make your fall decor for your family room and guest room.
Go Camping
