Riding a Buggy

The family enjoyed a much needed weekend retreat to Intercourse. Yes, the lovely town we spent a night in was Intercourse, PA. I suggest a visit. The family was making the rounds to visit our close friends (sutto family) and we took a night detour on the way up. We spent a day in Lancaster county and were able to observe Amish & Mennonite families in their element. We have a farmers market near our home that is run my Mennonite's. When we go to visit the girls are always fascinated by the girls in their dresses w/ their long hair pulled up. They also love the variety of cheeses.

Anyway, it was a great weekend. It was a delight watching a community set back in time, working hard long hours but in a different way than we work in our world. My girls were fascinated and wanted more. We just finished reading the Little House on the Prairie series. I think we all have a farm life fantasy playing out in our heads.

Enjoyed a buggy ride complete w/ two little boys racing us w/ their Shetland pony. They won by a lot, M & S asked why our horses could not go faster. Lots of adorable shops w/ home decor. Stopped at a pumpkin stand and purchased enough pumpkins & gourds to cover my front porch, homemade rootbeer stand (a little to much yeast), and a quilt shop. I admired those quilts and just took it all in. I completed my first quilt this last year and it was a crib size! I won't be making another anytime soon.
