Amish Country

Amish Country....my most favorite place on earth! Probably because of the many special times I have have come with my mom. I love coming to this peaceful countryside...even though with two little girls age 3 and 5, it probably wasn't as peaceful as it could be. They really enjoyed seeing the horses and carriages and the little amish children peaking through at the back of the carriage.

We stopped for some yummy ice cream! It was a pretty warm day and ice cream is definitely the best way to cool down.

We went to a petting zoo, probably the most fun they had. It was fun to see all the animals, petting them and feeding them. Karlee was a little nervous at first when feeding the animals, but towards the end she really enjoyed it. Shelby, of course, had no fears at all! Lots of hand sanitizer was used when we were done!!I took this picture of these cute little fluffy birds...they were only a few inches high and so cute!

Towards the end of the day, we stopped by an outlet and did Karlee's back to school shopping. Mom watched the girls at a little playground outside of the store while I picked out a few things...it is amazing how much shopping I can get done without having to run after the girls, trying to find them while they play hide and seek in the store or having them fight and yell at each other. Sometimes I wonder why they always act in the extreme when we are in public...we really are pretty normal at home...really!
