This week, Chicago Parent is running a very special contest, so please read our requirements very carefully. Four lucky Chicago Parent readers will win a family six pack to see the Joliet Jackhammers during any regular season game. The tickets are undated box seat flex-vouchers. Of the four readers, one special reader will win a chance to throw out the first pitch. The only “catch,” this winning family will have to go to the Aug. 3 game, which starts at 5:05 p.m. For your chance to win tell us your family’s favorite fall activity and then e-mail us a picture of your kids in their Halloween costumes. In order to win, you must post here and then e-mail your family photos, answer, name and your Chicago Parent ID to e-dition@chicagoparent.com. In submitting your photos and comments, you are granting Chicago Parent permission to run them now or in the future. You must post and e-mail us for your answer to be counted. We will not release your information- it is purely for contact purposes. Winners will be chosen at random and may have no affiliation with Wednesday Journal Inc. or its employees.

Our Favorite Fall activity is apple picking. We go every year and the kids just have a blast! Not to mention there is nothing like apple tree pictures, Mom’s favorite part!

My family's favorite fall activity is going to the pumpkin patch and apple picking.  We go to a place in Hobart, IN and they have hay rides, pumpkins, apple picking, petting zoo and a corn maze.  It is so much fun and we really enjoy it.  There is so much to do and my daughter loves to spend all day there.  I think this fall will be a blast since my son will be 1 and can begin to enjoy it with my daughter.

Our favorite fall activity is to go apple picking in Michigan. Also we started a tradition last year to go trick or treating on Halloween with all our friends.

Our family favorite activity in the fall is driving through hilly areas, not near home of course and look at all the fall colors and do the pumpkin patches with the corn mazes and the hay rides, our favorite so far the patch out in millbrook, IL.  Our favorite close to home driving area is along the Mississsippi River valley up by Galena, IL.

Our favorite fall activity is a sunday afternoon carving pumpkins in the the front yard with the entire neighborhood.  Then putty on either swim suits if it's warm or gruby clothes if its cool and having a pumkin insides fight.  Then cleaning up and lighting the carved pumkins.

Our family's favorite fall activity is having a campfire in our backyard and camping out.  We pitch our tent in our backyard, light the fire, and enjoy the evening.  It's a great place to camp as it comes with indoor plumbing and cooking facilities! 

Congratulations to the following Chicago Parent readers. They have won a family six pack to see the Joliet Jackhammers during any regular season game. The tickets are undated box seat flex-vouchers.
