Fall is a
very cool and beautiful time of year. The sun shines on the
leaves and they change color and begin to fall. The flowers
begin to wilt as the cooler weather sets in. We watch the
animals gather food for winter. Fall must come and go just
as the other seasons. With all of its beauty and the
different colors of leaves, it seems to be the most
beautiful season to me.

I like fall
because I like the way the trees look. When their leaves
fall, they are gold, red and yellow. In this story I will
tell you my favorite things about fall.
The first
thing I like about fall is that sometimes I go on a hay
ride. I like the way the hay crackles when you sit on it.
Sometimes they have decorations which are fun to look at.
The hay ride that I go on has lots of beautiful scenery.
When you go on the hay ride you can see people picking
pumpkins out of the pumpkin patch.
The second
thing I like about fall is going to the pumpkin patch. When
I go I get to pick out the pumpkins we buy. My Mom always
lets me pick out three really little pumpkins. When I go to
the pumpkin patch they always have a corn maze. I enjoy
going in the corn maze because you never know which way to
go.
The third
thing I like about fall is making a pumpkin witch. All you
do is poke little needles into black licorice and then poke
it into the pumpkin, that makes up the hair. Then you make
the face out of candy corn. Sometimes I have a friend
help me. It makes a great centerpiece for our table.
And that is
what makes fall so much fun. In this story I told you my
favorite things about fall. I’m looking forward to fall
again next year.

When I went to the apple orchard, I had lots of fun. I
picked fifty apples. I picked three kinds of apples. I
picked Granny Smiths, Red Delicious, and Yellow Delicious.
They had other fun things too. They had a slide and a
hayride. On the hayride, we went through a dark tunnel. I
was a little scared. It even had spooky Halloween noises.
When we get out of the tunnel, we were on the side of a corn
field. In two minutes the ride was over. When we went
home, we made carmel apples. First we put carmel on the
apples. Second, we put on peanuts. When dad got home each
of us ate one apple. They were very good. I liked the
green apples the most. We had a very fun day. When I went
to bed I had one more apple.

Fall is a
wonderful season. The things I enjoy most of fall is soccer,
jumping in leaves, and going trick or treating.
In the fall I like to play Soccer. I like playing soccer in
the Fall, because it is a lot fo fun. I play often most of
the time. Offense is the most important position. Playing
soccer is great exercise.
Jumping is fun in the fall. I like jumping in the leaves.
You can ride your bike over it. It is really fun to plan in
the leaves.
Going trick or treating is fun because we can get a cool
costume at the Halloween store to be for Halloween.
Halloween is a really fun holiday.
As you can see, I do enjoy the fall season. I especially
love soccer, jumping in leaves, and going trick or treating.

I
like fall because of the nice and good smelling colorful
leaves. I also love the satisfying taste of pumpkin pie.
It’s delicious! Fall is the greatest season. In this story,
I will tell you the things I love about fall.
I love costumes, especially Star Wars costumes. They’re the
coolest costumes ever. I like costumes because they are fun
to dress up in. I like seeing all the different costumes on
Halloween. You see all kinds of costumes on Halloween night.
There are spooky, funny, gross and silly costumes. The
costumes are awesome.
I like haunted houses because they’re really spooky. I like
the one in Woodlawn the best. You never know what’s going to
jump out at you. That’s the good part. It’s a good surprise.
I like when they scare me. I love haunted houses.
Bonfires are fun because you can cook hotdogs and smores.
Bonfires are fun to go to because I can spend special time
with my family. I like to sit around the warm and toasty
fire. The last time I went to a bonfire, my Grandma let me
help build the fire. I was fun!
In this story, I told you about my favorite things in fall.
I love costumes on Halloween, haunted houses, and bonfires.
These are the things I like about fall.

There are
many great things about fall. But my personal favorite is
bonfires. There are many things to do at a bonfire. For
instance, you and a group of friends could play hide and go
seek in the dark. All you have to do is designate a base and
go hide.
Another great thing about bonfires is telling scary stories.
The things people come up with on the spur of the moment is
amazing. Comparing stories afterward is also very fun. Some
are better at telling stories than others. But in the end
hearing what friends and family come up with is
entertaining.
One more of my favorite things about bonfires is hayrides. A
bonfire does not always include a hayride but it is very fun
when it does. Hayrides might even be the scariest part of
the night depending on what you do and where you go. One way
a hayride can be scary is if you drive through a cemetery,
or tell scary stories. These are the reasons that I love
bonfires.
