Last weekend we went down to Utah to visit family, but mainly so Blake could go hunting and hopefully get a deer. On the first day we were there we spent part of the morning with my family at a local pumpkin patch picking the right pumpkins to take home. We had never taken Boston to a pumpkin patch, and it had been quite a while since I had been to one so it was fun to be able to spend some time looking for pumpkins, going through the straw maze, and enjoy the cool crisp fall air.
We went to Olson's Garden Shoppe in Payson (who also did my wedding flowers) so I was a bit surprised to find out they had a pumpkin patch. I don't know if this was the first year they had a pumpkin patch but it was a perfect size for us. We happened to get there before anyone else was there. So we had the wholes place to ourselves!! There wasn't a lot to it, just a small area, maybe the size of a backyard, that they had pumpkins and then a small little kids maze you could run through and finish in about 20 seconds. I loved that it was small and we could enjoy it with just my family instead of going to a large place with tons of people, plus it might have helped we got there around 10:30 in the morning!

Ethan was Boston's buddy and would sit on the little wagon with him as he was pulled along. I think that was Boston's favorite part! He love being pulled along on the wagon and could of done that all day. He had no real interest in the pumpkins or much anything else they had, but loved the wagons! He would want you to pull him all over the pumpkin patch and once you stopped he would let you know that he wasn't done yet! It was so worth it to run all over the place just to hear that little laugh of his!
I tried so hard to get a good picture of Boston smiling next to a pumpkin, but he would not have it! I even tried to be sneaky, but he had like some sort of sixth sense that you were going to take a picture and would start whining. I hope this doesn't last long, but at least we were able to got some good pictures, even if he isn't quite smiling right at the camera. Maybe next year he will be more willing to take some pictures!
