Today we went to see how the Amish community lives.  There are 30,000 Amish people in this area of Pennsylvania.  They don’t have electricity but they do use batteries and gas for some powered things.  They only have a few clothes: One for wash, one for wear, one for church and one for spare!  Crazy.  Jeff says I can get rid of 90% of my closet!  :)  There are horse/buggies ALL over the road here.  They drive right where we drive.  You have to be so careful driving!

Nancy and her grand daughter, Ava, who is about Audree's age went along today.  They've had a lot of fun together.   So after the Amish Village, we ate like the Dutch at a family style restaurant that was delicious as was the Shoo Fly Pie!  Then went to an Amish Farmer's Market.  We saw many Amish people in there.  They are just like all of us!  

So the other day when Audree did the blog, we forgot a very important event.  It's the most hill-billy, red-neck restaurant ever! It was all you can eat shrimp--great for everyone else.    They even have frozen chicken bowling tournaments and hog calling contests at times!  Hilarious!!
