Get Out With the Kids
The Sacramento Bee has posted a great list of of fall activities to get kids off the couch and into the great outdoors. The article lists activities nationwide and has some good links for further exploration.

Here are some of the suggestions:

CORN MAZES: You can find easy walkthroughs for little kids, but for older children, look for a six-acre odyssey that will take an hour to navigate.

FOOD, FARMS AND FESTIVALS: Pick apples and pumpkins, then let the kids help you make a pie or carve a jack-o'-lantern. Vermont's "cheese trail" includes several farms with guided tours where you can visit animals and watch cheese being made.

HIKES: Nancy Ritger, senior interpretive naturalist for the Appalachian Mountain Club, says one way to get children excited about a hike is "to have a goal of some sort - a waterfall or a pond, or maybe just a scenic overlook, but have something they can count on getting to.

There are more suggestions within these selections. Get up and out!
