Our Trip Day Eleven (Amish Country)


If you click on this picture, you can see the Amish girl in front of the house.

Laundry Hanging out to dry. According to their religion, they are not allowed to use electricity.

We took an Amish buggy tour through the many farms in the area.

We really liked the tour. We weren't aloud to take pictures on the farms. We stopped off at one farm and bought cookies and lemonade.

The horse and buggy.

I don't know if you can see this, but their is a team of horses pulling a plow in this field.

Sometimes a simpler way of life seems pretty appealing.

We bought some home-made root beer from this little shack that was on an Amish Farm. They also sold baked goods and hand sewn Amish children's clothes. I almost bought some clothes for the grand kids, but Michael said that they would never wear them.


Just ahead of us was a horse and buggy.


Samuel drinking the home-made Amish root beer that we bought. It kind of looks like it could be moonshine.

You could have gotten the Amish clothes for the babies just for picture taking purposes. And I'm Christina would have found a few times and places where she could have dressed them up. Looks like lots of fun. I miss you guys.
