🌞 Saturday, November 1

🌾 Morning Farmers Market & Outdoor Browsing
🕘 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Choose a market that opens early—browse fresh produce, artisan goods, baked treats—and get your morning outdoorsy start.

🚶 Trail Adventure: Little Econ Greenway or Seminole Wekiva Trail

Pick one of these scenic trails for a family walk or bike ride: shady tree cover, river or creek views, and that fresh-air reset we all need.

🎃 Halloween Ski-Down / Costume Walk
🕓 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Join a local community costume walk or spooky fun event outdoors (many towns host trunk-or-treats, safe witch walks and family-friendly gatherings). Bring costumes, treats, and smiles.

🌇 Sunset & Picnic at a Lake or Park
🕕 5:30 PM onward
End the day with a picnic near water—think a lakeside bench, park lawn, or trail overlook. Grab take-out, bring a blanket, and watch the sun dip while sharing laughs.

🌼 Sunday, November 2

🛍 Sunday Market Hop
🕘 – Start around 9:00 AM
Find a relaxed market in the morning—plants, produce, artisan goods, friendly vendors and fresh air. One stop for browsing, another for brunch, and you’re set.

🌳 Nature & Family Time Outdoors
🕙 – Late morning into afternoon
Pick a scenic spot like Gemini Springs Park, Green Springs Park, or a boardwalk trail. Let the kids explore the playgrounds, you stretch your legs, maybe bring a frisbee or a ball—low-key fun, zero stress.

🏞 Fall Trail Finale & Reflective Walk
🕒 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Before the week kicks in, take one last walk or bike ride—trail time, tree time, fresh air time. Appreciate the cool breeze, the changing leaves (even in Florida there’s a hint!), and end the weekend grounded.

💡 Bonus Outdoor & Trail Favorites

  • Cross Seminole Trail – Great paved trail for family walks or bike rides.

  • Sanford RiverWalk – Lakeside strolling, ideal for a reflective moment.

  • Green Springs Park (Deltona) – Shady, quiet, perfect for unplugging.

🎃 Halloween & Trick-or-Treat Tips

  • Use reflective tape or glow-sticks on costumes/trick-or-treat bags so everyone’s visible after dark.

  • Choose familiar trails/sidewalks, cross at lights, and stick to well-lit routes.

  • Carry a small flashlight or use a phone light for safety during dusk or darker trail sections.

  • Bring a water bottle or snack for after the fun—you’ll likely work up an appetite outdoors!

  • Keep costumes fairly comfortable—No masks that obstruct vision if you’ll be walking trails.

😄 Dad Jokes & Halloween Puns to End On

  • Why did the ghost go into the bar? For the boos!

  • What kind of key does a ghost use to unlock his room? A spoo-key!

  • Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts!

  • I’m reading a book on anti-gravity. It’s impossible to put down!

  • What do you call someone who tells dad jokes in October? A trick-or-treator!
