Host a bonfire! You can make s’mores, cook hot dogs, and sip hot chocolate with friends. Doing this while camping is also a great option if you don’t have the backyard space. Camping is also a great option for groups who are not looking to spend an extensive amount of money on a weekend trip.
Carve a pumpkin! You can easily go to your local grocery store to buy a pumpkin, or pick one up at pumpkin patch near you. You can go with the classic carved out pumpkin or create your own design. Have young kids and worried about them being around sharp tools? That’s okay! Instead decorate the pumpkin by painting it or by using glitter and glue.
