The weather forecast shows the temperature rising with a whole week of the beautiful sun! This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the warmth and the bright fall leaves. It’s lovely to have the sunshine on us after a couple of weeks of storm and smoke. Time to take advantage of the crispy leaves and do some outdoor activities before the rain takes over!

1. Jump in a Pile of Leaves! (No, Seriously!)

The sound of the crunch once your foot crushes the crispy leaves while your hands dig into the various coloured maple leaves, and throw it up into the air. The sound of the leaves crunching can be a brain massage, also commonly known as, autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR). Embrace your inner child and rejoice in diving in a pile of leaves with you and your friends. It could be a lot of fun to have a leaves fight. A bonus could be the wonderful pictures that could be taken! There are many places you can visit, like your local park, Stanley Park, or Queen Elizabeth Park. Trees are everywhere!

2. Go on a Hike

With the season changing, it would be wonderful to see all the warm colours that the trees turn into! It will allow a healthy lifestyle during the colder months and stimulate your mind by exploring new scenery. As an added activity, once you reach the end of the hike, a picnic can be set up where you can enjoy some homemade food and look out at the wonderful setting.

3. Indulge in Everything Pumpkin Themed

Pumpkin flavoured foods are definitely a favourite for the fall season! There is so much to try from, from pies to lattes, and don’t forget cookies. Have a foodie day, take yourself, or a friend you’d like on a day full of pumpkin goodies! Many bakery small businesses have many pumpkin flavoured treats to enjoy. These treats won’t be year-round, so definitely get out there and try them out! If pumpkin treats aren’t your fancy, then I challenge you to find a fall treat that does.

Fall is a wonderful season to explore because of the drastic change in colours all around. Try out any of these fun activities before the rainy days hit Vancouver again!
