Can you smell the pumpkin spice in the air? That’s a clear sign of fall and a sign to start some family fall activities. What else is there to do besides festivals and Halloween?
Fall doesn’t have to just mean ghosts, ghouls, and witches. Families can share the experience of visiting pumpkin patches, apple picking, and corn mazes. Not sure where to go? MYLE is here to give you plenty of options!
