A couple of weeks ago our family made a trip up to PA to visit a Amish village. We had a fun time walking around and visiting all the little shop's and watching the people with there horses and carriages.
Also if it is one thing the Amish know how to make besides there home made quilts it's the way they cook. Man, can they cook!!! Over the years we have Fallon in love there there food, especially there home made peanut butter and jellies, pumpkin bread, number of pies. This year we tried a new pie (shew fly pie) O.M.G. was it good!!!
If you have never been to an Amish village try it, they are fun and you have to try the Amish Grocery stores, you can buy stuff there dirt cheap.
Then this past week Justin's dad and niece (Lorelei) came to visit. Justin's dad dropped Lorelei off while he went up to NY to find and apartment but when he came back we traveled out to again, the Shenandoah river to let the kids play. Of course two seconds after we got there the kids started yelling SNAKE and that just put off going in the water for me. But of course the kids had fun, they were all about tracking down more snakes.
Here are a couple of picters of the kids playing outside.

Snakes? I can't believe they wanted to chase them. You'll have to track down the recipe for the pie so we can try it some time.
Cute pics! I want to go there with you guys. I'm glad you got my card. Love you girl!!!!!
Of course you got the pic of the Intercourse, PA sign. We had to get some of those too. And yes, the Amish can COOK! You've got to read this book Lucy referred to me about an Amish girl. SO GOOD. When the Heart Cries by Cindy Woodsmall. You'll love it.
Did you go to Good N Plenty restaurant? That is my fav and they serve shoefly pie- yum. We took a horse and buggy tour the last time we went and it was really interesting, they definitely have a different way of life!
