My Favorite Fall Things
By Kyle Shepard

There are a couple of things that I like to do during the Fall. But my favorite one is to play basketball. I often end up playing basketball with my dad because he likes to play basketball as well. I usually always play basketball whenever I’m done with all my homework, and on the weekends, I usually play some time in the afternoon. When I play basketball, I usually feel glad because I know that it is something I can do freely and sometimes it helps me to become an overall better player. When I play basketball in my yard, I often practice my shooting techniques, jump shots, lay ups, dribbling skills, and hook shots. When I play with my dad, we often practice my blocking, rebounding, and passing.
Another thing that I really like to do in the Fall is to help my mom decorate for the Fall holidays. I enjoy doing this with my mom because I know she likes it when I help her and I like to make her happy by helping. We often do this on a weekend or when we have some spare time. When I help set things up for holidays in the Fall it makes me feel like I’m helping to do things for the family. We get the decorations from the basement and set them up inside the house and outside the house.
Lastly, I enjoy carving pumpkins with my parents and two older sisters, Jennifer and Rachel. We carve pumpkins every year a day or two before Halloween. Carving pumpkins with my family makes me feel fortunate to have a great family to do fun activities with. We like to go out to buy pumpkins, and use the Pumpkin Master stencil kits to make creative art carvings. These are three of my favorite things that I enjoy doing in the Fall.
