This morning my 3 year old said something i’ve never heard out of his mouth… “Daddy I’m cold.” Ok so I’m sure a lot are thinking “Yeah right, you’ve never heard that before”. Well my son has just recently started really talking well and we live in the furnace known as Phoenix. After I can’t count how many days of walking outside into an oven, the cooler weather has finally hit us. Now you must remember when I say cooler weather, the high today is supposed to be around 90 degrees, but the mornings are a bit brisk.

This is one of my favorite times of year because unlike most places, here in phoenix, fall is the time to really get out and do things. In the summer it is much too hot to be outside for more than a few seconds, so we have to rely on spring and fall for our outdoor activities. I’m really looking forward to taking my son out and playing sports such as baseball, basketball and football. He has been begging us all summer to play outside more. Now he finally can. Maybe I can finally get him to ride his big wheel.

To us, fall mean’s we can go to the zoo, take a hike in the mountains or just sit out and look at the stars. While many bundle up for the cold months of autumn, we look forward to the freedom of the outdoors and a little physical activity.

Please feel free to post any comments about what you like to do in the Fall. If you are like me and live in a warm area of the world, what outdoor activities do you look forward to? If you live in a cooler area, what do you like best about this time of year?
