Fall fun for the family - Southern Maine style

It's officially Fall (insert excited emoji)!  While our Maine summers are just about perfect, I'm a fall gal through and through.  I'm loving the crisp mornings, hot apple cider, fall running, kids sporting events, pulling out boots and sweaters, and all the opportunities for family fun. Here's a list of some of our favorite activities and events this fall for the family:

        adventure, but here is a directory of Maine orchards)
