Before winter rolls around, consider spending a night in your backyard camping. From roasting marshmallows over a fire to singing campfire songs, camping is the perfect family bonding activity to build fall memories.

To make the most of the evening, consider a cozy outdoor movie night (all you need is a projector and a white sheet or screen), a nature scavenger hunt to find various plants in your own backyard, stargazing, and a glow stick dance party to your favorite Halloween tunes.

Bake some fall treats

To upgrade the Thanksgiving treat table think about making some unique desserts like sticky toffee pudding, sweet potato pie, and apple cider donuts that are sure to be fan favorites.
