Amish Country

On Saturday afternoon there was a lull in wedding festivities, so we joined up with Grandma and Pappy and my dad's sister's family and headed into Amish country. We enjoyed a home-cooked meal at the Plain & Fancy before taking a buggy ride. Will enjoyed spending time with Hannah (my youngest cousin), and she was so helpful and sweet with him.
Here's the Kemmerer gang ready to go for a ride!
We waited around a little longer for one of the big covered wagons, so we could all ride together.
Ben and Hannah set up front with the driver, and Will was very entertained by watching the horses.
It was the perfect time of year to take in the beautiful Pennsylvania countryside.
So quiet and peaceful. I'll have to admit, I find the Amish lifestyle pretty fascinating having visited Lancaster, PA quite a few times in my life when we'd be visiting family nearby. But just in the capacity of a curious observer...
I'll keep my electricity, running water, and washer and dryer, thank you very much! Though it does make for a charming picture.
