Deer!

Lauren had her first up close encounter with deer last night. We were invited to a wonderful dinner at Ross and Melodee's house in Eugene. They live near an area that is inhabited by a family of deer and ocassionally an elk or few. Shortly after eating on their patio, which was so serene, we were joined by a doe who had recently given birth but the baby was no where in sight. They feed the deer bread and grain so she was obviously looking for her evening handout. And before we left, daddy deer showed up to show off his antlers. Lauren was easily amused!

I love this picture.
