We finally made it out east to visit my brother and his family in Pennsylvania. They have spent the past year living in the small rural town of Summerville which is about 2 hours out of Pittsburgh. I'm not kidding about the rural thing... or the small part of that last sentence. Summerville is a town of about 300, there are farms all around, and we have even passed some Amish people in their horse and buggy. We were also able to visit Punxsutawny and the famous groundhog site.
One of the biggest attractions out here, besides family of course, is the beautiful country, rolling hills, and greenery. There aren't really mountains to speak of, but the thick, green, mossy groves have been so scenic, especially for us coming from the desert land of Utah.
Another fun part of the trip thus far has been our nephew, Ty. He turns two on July 4th, and is at such a cute stage of life right now. He has a pretty good little vocabulary and little phrases, but he likes to stick with his favorites like: Weis (meaning Trish), Wado (water), puball (football), and other cute little sayings. He hasn't hit the terrible two's yet and is at a really fun age. He laughs a lot and loves to be outside, usually throwing rocks, playing with balls, or trying to smash bugs with his plastic golf clubs.
My brother and his wife Erica have been wonderful hosts for us. We have been fed well and have really enjoyed our first couple of days in Pennsylvania so far.
