Fall

This has been a wonderful summer filled with many adventures. We are sorry to see summer go but are looking forward to fall.

The other day we went on a river boat ride on the Provo river. It was an unique experience that I think everyone should experience at least once in their life. The boat was motored by a boy standing at the helm pulling on a rope that was strung up. The mere fact that he could move such a boat with the sheer power of his arms greatly made up for the fact that he was an awful story teller. It was a Halloween boat ride and the ad said he would tell ghost stories. He didn't, but the pirate that commandeered our ship was quite funny. What is a pirate's favorite letter? P, because it looks like R but with only one leg! Ha, ha! Ah, you have to love Utah County.

A new tradition that has been started in our family is to take a hike up in Ogden Valley and then go to a pumpkin patch. It is really fun. Noah loves adventure and loves to hike. Though Zach ends up carrying him half of the way. I hand it Noah for keeping up with us and I hand it to Zach for being such a good sport. He is by far a blessing in our lives.

The pumpkin patch is always a success. I mean, the boys get to run around in a maze, what could be better?
