They say that springtime is the best time for new beginnings, but we think October is pretty amazing too. After all, the kids are back in school, the weather is (usually) starting to cool down, and there are plenty of fun activities for the whole family to enjoy. Here are five of our favorites.

1. Bowling

Definitely one of the most classic family activities around, bowling is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening together. And with so many locations offering various gimmicks (disco lights, thumping music, and neon-lighted lanes), it’s become even more fun for everyone.

Bowling is a great way to get everyone out of the house and into a good time. It's a simple game where the family can compete against one another or work together as a team.

The aim of the game is to score points by knocking down as many pins as possible with a bowling ball. From there, the game is easy to follow and can be enjoyed by all ages.

2. Axe Throwing

Axe throwing is the newest trend to take the nation by storm, and it’s perfect for a family outing. After all, what could be more fun than hurling an axe at a target? It's a relatively new activity that’s perfect for families looking for something a little different. And while it might sound a bit dangerous, it’s actually a very safe activity.

Axe throwing is perfect for those who want to relieve some stress and have a little fun. It's a great way to bond with family members and friends, as well as an opportunity to teach the kids about safety.

Trying axe throwing for the first time might be scary. After all, an axe is also used to chop wood. Here are some tips to make your axe-throwing experience as safe and fun as possible:

• Wear closed-toe shoes - Shoes are required to protect your feet in case an axe is accidentally dropped or, even worse, fly in your direction. That's why it's important to wear shoes that completely cover your feet.
• Don't drink alcohol - Alcohol and axes don't mix. It's important to be alert and have a clear mind when throwing axes.
• Don’t wear loose clothing - Wearing loose clothing could increase the chances of getting caught on the axe or. Avoid this by wearing comfortable, form-fitting clothes that will not hinder your movement.
• Stand behind the line - Make sure everyone stands behind the throwing line so no one gets hit by an axe.
