I am not a spooky movie fan, to be completely honest. I don’t like watching things that will give me chills or freak me out. With that in mind, I do love fall and enjoy a good Halloween or Autumn series or movie to watch, especially if it’s not on the scary side! I decided to put together a little list of my favorite things to watch in the Autumn to get me into the Halloween Spirit.

Walking an Owl with Coda Falconry
About a year ago, it was Dann’s birthday! Unsure what to get someone who never knows what they want for their birthday, I figured getting an experience was the best option. Dann loves owls and always mentioned a time when his brother got to go off and do a owl experience with his grandparents and how he wanted to do similar. So, after a bit of googling, I ended up booking him a ticket for the Owl Encounter at Coda Falconry – along with a spectator ticket, in case he wanted to bring a friend.
I ended up being that friend! Currently, Coda Falconry isn’t properly open due to COVID, but they still are doing these experiences, as they are with small groups of people. Ours was an own walk, where Dann got to hold the owl, cast him off, and walk around. I got to follow and pet the owl at the end, opting to take pictures and ask questions along the way. Our owl was named Dusk – a beautiful creature with a twin sister who we also got to meet!
Blogtober Tag 2020 – Our First Blogtober
We’ve never participated in Blogtober before, but we figured now was a good time to start! Each day, we will be releasing a Blogtober post – which will be themed as Autumn or Halloween content. We will also have some posts going live on other topics that aren’t themed, but these won’t be marked as Blogtober content. As we normally post three times a week, posting every day and doubling up on some days seemed like the best way to make Blogtober work for our blog. As we love Halloween and fall, getting a bunch of lovely, themed posts seemd like a fun time. To start off our first Blogtober, we are doing out first ever Blogger Tag!
What’s your favourite fall scent?
Jupiter: My favorite fall scent is baking pumpkin pie. I love the smell out of the oven and how much it fills your home.
Dann: My favourite autumn scent is burning firewood, as it reminds me of bonfire night.
A Day Out at Circus Fantasia
My eldest, Kai, saw the colourful posters around town and started asking about visiting the circus. Circus Fantasia, a traveling circus on it’s 8th year of show, was in our area for the week, with their new 2020 program. Jupiter had never been to a circus before, and when I had gone as a child, it was much too loud for my ears and I had a terrible time. Despite this, as Kai wanted to go, we set out to grab tickets up and spend the evening at Circus Fantasia.
A Day Out Berry Picking at Cammas Hall
Fruit picking is something both Jupiter and I did as a kid – myself picking fruits near where I lived and Jupiter picking fruits both at orchards and in nearby woods. As summertime came, we wanted to take the family out berry picking both in the wild and at an orchard, so we went along to Cammas Hall! Cammas Hall has a lot to offer, from raspberry and blackberries to strawberries and sunflowers. We pre-booked our time slot, which does cost a deposit fee, but that fee goes towards the fruit we picked and it was easy to pick far more than the deposit price.
