Autumn Adventures: Fort Riley Family Traditions

We asked three Army spouses at Fort Riley to share their family traditions.

"Some of our favorite fall break activities are picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch; going to apple orchards to pick apples. We also like going to corn mazes and petting zoos. The kids just love doing all of these fall activities.”

-Shelby Saffron Army spouse, Fort Riley, KS

"We enjoy anything that’s outdoors and is fall themed! We love going to pumpkin patches and sometimes we will go camping before it gets too cold. And bonfires are an absolute must!”

-Sarah Moore Army spouse, Fort Riley, KS

"I love taking my kids to the pumpkin patch every year. It's a fun tradition where we pick out the perfect pumpkins and enjoy all the autumn activities together. It's one of our favorite family outings!”

-Sarah Sweetser Army spouse, Fort Riley, KS
