Ready, Set, Scavenge! Explore What Autumn Offers
4. Changes among people’s apparel (such as jackets, hats, and scarves) 5. Animals hibernating or migrating FALL COLOR WHEEL The best way to explore autumn’s colors is by creating a fall color wheel hunt! Since the leaves are the surest signs of fall, kids can compare and contrast the different colors of each leaf they find, making this a fun hands-on activity. You can either download a color wheel template from the internet or make one yourself! All you need is a piece of paper that’s big enough for kids to tape the leaves onto and different areas for the colors red, yellow, orange, and brown. This will help kids see the different kinds of leaves as well as their visual changes during the season. The weather is getting colder, but it doesn’t mean you have to hibernate too! Bundle up with a cozy sweater and beanie, and encourage the family to get outside to explore all of the wonderful changes autumn has to offer.
As the leaves begin to fall and the air becomes cooler, it is a sure sign that summer is slowly coming to an end. Though we will miss the pool parties and backyard barbecues, there is still lots to look forward to during fall. Autumn is known as the season of change, and getting the kids outside allows them to understand and explore the changes going on in the world around them. Creating a fall scavenger hunt is a great way for kids to practice their reading and observation skills, all while still enjoying the outdoors. SIGNS OF FALL Creating a specific scavenger hunt for signs of autumn is a great way to enhance your child’s observation skills.
Consider the following for your signs of fall hunt:
1. Leaves that have changed colors 2. Tree seeds or pine cones that have fallen to the ground 3. Items from a fall harvest (like pumpkins, sunflowers, or hay bales)

A QUICK NOTE ABOUT FOOTBALL SEASON
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year for one reason: football season! In our house, we cheer on the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Virginia Tech Hokies. Jen and I spend more time in front of the TV on Saturdays watching football than I care to admit, and the kids get in on it, too. The triplets are too young to truly understand how football works, but they’ll still sit down and watch with me. If we let him, Miles would wear his favorite Iowa Hawkeyes baseball cap every single day. He loves that cap! At 4 1/2 years old, every sport is “the Hawks” to him, whether we’re watching football, baseball, or basketball, and every player is his favorite Hawkeyes basketball player, Luka Garza.
That said, football season isn’t the only thing I’m celebrating this fall. Labor Day is also coming up as I write this, and I’ve never
been more excited about my team at
Harman Law. 2020 was a tough year for us from a staffing perspective. We lost a few key people and had a hard
Of course, he doesn’t care that Garza plays for the Detroit Pistons now. He still associates Garza with the Hawks, and the Hawks with his hat!
time finding the perfect hires to fill those spots. But our patience and persistence paid off, and now we have the best team we’ve ever had!
I’m glad I can share my love of football with the trips, even though they aren’t quite up to speed. They’ve even traveled to games with us. I’m not sure if we’ll be able to catch a Hawkeyes game in person this year, but if they make it to another bowl game in Florida, we just might be able to make it happen. As for the Hokies, we’ll definitely try to fit a night game into our schedule, and the Virginia Tech versus West Virginia game is at the top of my list.
