Fall Fun For All

 Ahh Fall in Indiana. As children, we all loved jumping into huge piles of leaves and weekend bonfires. As we age, it seems we just don't have the gumption to play in leaves and horse around. For grand parents, we really don't look forward to the Fall, it means that Winter will soon be here along with cold, snow, wind, and the sun hiding for weeks on end.

I was looking around for some fun things to do with the grand kids in the fall and came across an awesome post for those who have a dry sense of humor about Fall. 

Make sure to read more here. There are loads of tips for parents and grand parents alike. I love this blog!

1. Play the ever-popular game, "eat the leaves." I mean, you never know when you'll get the leaf with the slug on it.
2. Make lewd sculptures composed entirely of leaves on your front lawn.
3. Pass out birth control to the parents whose kids are assholes on Halloween.
4. Dress your kids in slutty Halloween costumes and yell, "SHE'S TRAINING FOR THE POLE" whenever anyone gives you the stink eye.
5. Teach your kids to rake the leaves in your front yard into your neighbors yard for HIM to deal with.
6. Rearrange your neighbor's scarecrow into inappropriate positions.
7. Throw an anti-Halloween party in which you stand on a soapbox and holler about the various reasons Halloween is the Devil's Holiday. This is especially awesome if you have preteens -- they love being mortified.
8. Instead of putting an election sign in your yard, start a peition to boycott apple picking.
9. Rather than decorating your pumpkins adorably, just stick a butcher knife in each and call it a day.
10. Whenever anyone asks if you'd like a fall recipie, tell them, "I don't believe in fall."
11. Instead of going around the table at Thanksgiving and telling your loved ones what you're thankful for this year, insist that you'd rather play a game of truth or dare. And, oh yeah, you'll go first.
12. Pass out raisins for Halloween, and when the kids complain, tell them it's better than cat poo -- though by a small margin.
13. Sign up the whole family for nudist hay rides at the local apple orchard -- bonus points for making an "apple" joke.
14. Head to the orchard after hours, and swap out all their cider for hard apple cider, then bring a video camera to watch the children's activities disintegrate around glass two.
15. Bring a small kitchen torch with you to the orchard so that you can always pop the corn while doing the corn maze. Bonus points for carving your own pathway.
