Amish Country

Tuesday (May 11) SM and I took our family a couple hours south to Amish Country. The day was full of rain but every time we got out of the van, the rain stopped and we were able to really enjoy being tourists. Above is a picture of a quilt. I absolutely love handmade quilts and loved wandering in different quilt shops.
And here is a silly photo but a very cute guy!
Here is a fun stained-glass window. I am always drawn to art. Amish country is like taking a step back to a simpler time. The Amish people have chosen to have a simplified life without some of the modern conveniences that we have.
While driving down different roads, you have to be aware of the buggies. And we found that the Amish youth are very friendly...that they'd wave a short wave as you passed them on the road.
What a great family!!
