Despite the fact of living in Arizona, the season of fall has officially started, even if the weather doesn’t want to agree. With this said, many people may be out looking for fun things to do with their friends and family during the fall season. Although the leaves have yet to change colors, a good way to get into the fall spirit is to go to a pumpkin patch. A very popular farm here in Arizona is called Mother Nature’s Farm. This farm is located in Gilbert, AZ 85233 off of E. Baseline Rd. The admission charge is $3.00 per adult and $10.00 per child (1 year and older). The admission charge for children includes an OZ pumpkin, an individual bag of stickers, decorating your pumpkin, the air bounce, a hayride, straw bounce, feeding the Animals, and Alexander’s Adventure Maze. The adult admission includes a tag along on the hayride. Another fun thing to do during the month of November is the annual Ahwatukee Festival of Lights. This festival has free admission and takes place Nov. 26 in the Ahwatukee Foothills Park. Here you can go on rides, enjoy free entertainment or even take a walk down the marketplace street fair. This is not  event to miss and it starts at 11am and goes to 9pm. There is also many other things you can do during the fall season, that don’t have to be planned. You can always go out with your friends and family to see a movie, or even go on a picnic. The fall season is all about family and spending time with those close to you. If all else fails, you can always go to Starbucks and get a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
