Fall Family Fun

I’ve said this before but fall is my favorite time of year!  We love doing fall family activities every weekend.  I’ve put together a list of family fun events to do this pumpkin season!  I will be updating it throughout the season!

HallowBoo at Idlewild

One of our favorite family fall fun activities is HallowBoo at Idlewild!  We haven’t been in 2 years (the boys are so little here) but we are planning to go next weekend!  Idlewild is famous for their Storybook Forest which walks you through all the famous nursery rhymes.  For HallowBoo the kids can trick-or-treat through the forest and collect treats along the way!

After they are finished trick-or-treating the whole family can enjoy the rides in the park!  Below is a list of dates and times they are open this season.

HallowBoo

Dates:  Saturdays and Sundays October 5th-27th

Time:  Gates and Storybook Forest open at 11:30/Rides open at 12:00PM- 6:00PM

Cinco De Mayo

Cinco De Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is a fun excuse for a party!  We love Mexican food and love to entertain so it is a win-win!  One of my Mom’s famous recipes that I continue to make is her mango salsa!  It is such a great addition to any party!  So easy to make and the color that it adds to a party table is fabulous!

I am all about great fresh ingredients with lots of color and that is why I love making a coleslaw!  This recipe is a kicked up version with jalapenos and is great served with pulled pork, brisket, or anything bbq!

Your Cinco de Mayo party is not complete without Tequila so what is better than pairing it with dessert!  These Margarita Cheesecake Bites are delicious and the perfect addition to any summer party!

Mango Salsa Recipe

Ingredients

2 Mangos

1 Red Pepper

1 Green Pepper

2 Jalapenos

1 Small Red Onion

1 Small Bunch of Cilantro

Juice of 1 Lime

Pinch of Salt

1.) Chop mangos, red pepper, green pepper, jalapenos, red onion, and cilantro

2.)  Mix all together in a medium bowl

3.)  Juice the lime over the salsa mixture and add salt

4.)  Mix and Enjoy

**You can eat right away but I always refrigerate for at least an hour before serving
