AUTUMN ADVENTURES AWAIT Celebrate the Season With Tailgating, Pumpkins, and More!
Fall is a little different in Texas. The weather starts to cool down, making it the perfect time for biking, running, and spending time with the family outdoors. This season is one of my favorites, with my birthday in October, my anniversary in September, and my kids’ birthdays falling in the autumn months. This time of year, it’s easy to find many great family activities to do. From pumpkin patches to tailgating, there’s no shortage of fun to enjoy in the fall. Tailgating We love football season in Texas, from high school teams to the Cowboys. One of the best ways to enjoy the Friday night lights is tailgating with your family and friends. Throw on your team’s colors or favorite football hat, spark up the grill, and play a round of cornhole. While you can make tailgating as simple or complex as you want, I say go big and make your parking spot a crowd-pleaser. Have the family help decorate the car or truck, and ensure you have plenty of game and cooking supplies. For more tailgating tips, check out Page 4. Pumpkin Picking Nothing says fall quite like visiting the local pumpkin patch. From sweet photo ops to the joys of selecting the perfect pumpkin to transform into a jack-o’-lantern, this autumn activity is fun for
everyone in the family. North Texas is home to many entertaining pumpkin patches, and a local favorite is the Autumn at the Arboretum
event at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. It’s even earned the title of one of America’s best pumpkin festivals. Hiking With the cooler weather, it’s a great time to go hiking in one of the state parks or wildland
areas. You can get a front-row seat to the colorful fall foliage in the Lost Maples Natural Area near Vanderpool, which has abundant maple trees. Cedar Hill
State Park is just 20 minutes outside of Dallas. This park offers expansive prairie and limestone bluffs alongside
a lake. Make sure to bring plenty of water wherever you hike.
