our day in the amish country was really fun...& really eye opening. we started our adventure at an amish family restaurant. jeffrey & i both thought this was going to be some unique experience with some authentic food - it turned out to be an amish version of the "golden corral"! it was hilarious...and not something we will likely forget!
next we headed even deeper into the "country" and took a horse and buggy ride through an amish farm! menno, our amish "horse" driver, was a bit questionable...i think he enjoys all of the nosy people out there that are amazed by this lifestyle!!! madeline, being the animal lover that she is, was mesmorized by the fact that we were being pulled by horses! ella, on the other hand, just wanted to know if we had any snacks!
i think she would last for about 2 seconds as an amish girl...
it was neat to see all the black clothes hung out on these enormous clothes lines...there are horse and buggy hitches at the stores there...it sort of feels a bit surreal! if jeffrey had it his way, he would start growing his beard today! needless to say, it was a fun day...we can now all say that we have been to pennsylvania! we were so thankful to share the experience with granny!

How fun was that experience! You'll never forget that and I am sure it was a bit surreal as you said. We took the plunge for the big girl haircut too and I think our two big girls look like sisters! I'll post when my camera battery charges back up!
