Road Trip to State College

My brother's family lives in State College, PA on a beautiful farm. Sunday, we went up for a visit. Too bad it was raining or we would've been able to take a walk in the woods. It is so refreshing to have so much space around you. The mountain air clears your lungs when you breathe. It's wonderful. We were eating lunch and I looked out the window and there were two deer standing in their back yard. Eric and I got all excited, but it's pretty normal for them to have deer just walking around in their yard.

Wendall & Emily raise Angus cattle and are in the midst of the calving season. If we would've stayed a little longer, we could've seen one being born. Eric and I wanted to test out our new Toyota Highlander to see how well it could do on gas mileage (23 mpg, not bad, huh Dad?!) and have some quality time with Uncle Wendall, Aunt Emily, and cousin Clayton (who is now 21 months old and quite a little man!). This was the first time they met Malakai in person. We enjoyed watching the boys interact together. We know Malakai will love going to their farm more and more as he gets older. They have cattle, a horse, and a dog, Rocky. Not to mention acres and acres of woodland to explore. Thanks for a fun day, Wendall & Emily. We love you.
