We can finally start to celebrate because fall is here! Say goodbye to tank tops and shorts, and say hello to sweaters and jeans. Everyone can’t help but smile when they see the leaves changing on the trees. As the seasons begin to change, so do the activities that people do. The beginning of fall is an amazing time to do fun activities with your friends and family and to go outside and get some fresh air before the weather starts to get colder.

Some of the fall activities that you could do are going to a corn maze or a haunted houses, taking a haunted hayride, attending a sporting events, going pumpkin picking, and roasting marshmallows. Some of the best places to visit are Stony Hill Farm in Chester, NJ if you want to go in a fun corn maze and Alstede Farms if you want to go pumpkin picking. If you are interested in going to one of the scariest haunted houses in New Jersey you can visit the Haunted Scarehouse in Wharton. This two story haunted house will not disappoint! It was voted one of the scariest haunted houses in New Jersey by NJNew1, Haunt Hunters, Haunt Spot, and Pop Sugar. People drive hours just to see it. But luckily it is located only 10 minutes away from Morris Hills. This haunted house was given four out of five stars, so visit it if you dare! Another great fall activity to do is to support your Scarlet Knights by attending sporting events such as soccer, football, volleyball, tennis, and field hockey games. Come out and cheer on your fellow classmates!

Now if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, but you still want to have fun you could have a movie night with friends or hold a bonfire. Both of these activities are fun and inexpensive. For movies to watch during your movie night or sleepover, I recommend a Tim Burton movie or a scary halloween horror movie. If all of your friends bring a movie and a candy of their choice, it will be an entertaining night with a bill of no more than $10.  

During this time of the year the weather is so tranquil and cool, creating endless options for what to do. I have included a couple examples of things you can do this autumn, but just by spending time doing activities with friends and family, you are guaranteed to have a fantastic fall season.
