Of Interest: Fall Fun Outdoors

the kids with pumpkins Autumn is a wonderful time for you to safely enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise with family and friends. It's a great season for picking apples and pumpkins, going for a hike, or biking. Be sure to bring appropriate clothing and protective gear like sturdy, comfortable shoes for hiking and helmets for biking.

If you are having a picnic, always pack plenty of clean water and healthy snacks. Pick healthy choices like seasonal fruits and vegetables such as apples, figs, and persimmons.
