Grab the fishing pole and head to a place like August A. Busch Conservation Area.
Go for a drive and find beautiful leaves to use for crafts (or just drive, look and enjoy!).

Go apple picking. Or Pear Picking like this family.

I've been making hot dog mummies (I cut arms and legs into the hot dogs as well) for my 3 precious grandsons since the eldest, now 14 yrs. old, started trick-or-treating. Though he no longer goes trick-or-treating, he is always the first one of the three (his darling brothers are 8 and 10 yrs. old) to ask, "Glamma, you're still making the mummies again this year, right?" Traditions like this last a lifetime!

Isn't that the best? They will always remember the special things you did with them! Whether it's hot dog mummies or something else, they'll have memories of you spending time with them! And that's what it's about!

What an awesome list! Sadly, my two would now say they are too old for some of these (13 & 16) but I still try to find ways we can spend time together. I sure do miss the days though when they were little and just blowing bubbles was a lot of fun.
