If you're looking for ways to get out and have fun with the kids, here's a list of what fall events to look for when going for a fun family day out.

Everything is pumpkin this time of year. Starbucks has their Pumpkin Latte's. Clean Juice has their pumpkin spices latte and The Pumpkin One smoothie. Oh and don't forget Pumpkin Pie Blizzards at Dairy Queen. That is to just name a few.

Even though the calendar does not say it officially yet we can't help but be in the mood for anything fall. We have pumpkin items on the menu and in the stores. Football is back in action. We are ready to get out and enjoy the cooler temperatures, at some point.

One of the great things about being a kid at Halloween is getting to help carve a Jack 'O Lantern or decorate a pumpkin. Getting all sticky and messy as you clean out the guts of a pumpkin. Concentrating and contemplating on the perfect face for 'ol Jack. It's one of those memories from childhood you'll cherish. Every child, tween, and teen need to experience the fun of carving a pumpkin or decorating a pumpkin.

Fall is a fun time in Amarillo. Football, the fair, the cooler weather and pumpkins. Pumpkins are the mascot of fall and the time is now to celebrate the pumpkin. The Amarillo Botanical Garden has the perfect way to celebrate fall and the pumpkin at PumpkinFest.

When do you carve your pumpkins?

You may have noticed a pumpkin or two around the neighborhood lately. Okay, maybe more than two. They're everywhere. This means you’ve probably fallen victim to at least a little bit of the hype and purchased some Halloween pumpkins. But what do you do with them in just a few days, when Halloween is in the rearview mirror?
