I saw Amish kids going to school. It reminded me that I'd have to go back to school on Monday! A bunch of the kids were playing baseball... I saw 3 different schools and the kids were playing baseball at each one. The kids were wearing clothes that looked like uniforms but my parents told me those are the clothes they wear all the time.
I went on a hayride that was supposed to be "magical" where you plant "magical pumpkin seeds" and use "magical water". After planting we went on a little hayride... when we returned "magically" pumpkins appeared. I caught on to what was really going on, because pumpkin seed was still there... it was a dead give away!
Probably one of the most interesting parts of this trip was me carving a pumpkin by myself! It was really fun to make my pumpkin look however I wanted.
Before I went trick or treating my mom made me go in the parade with Yogi Bear. It was kind of embarrassing when my mom kept walking next to the parade and saying "Daniel I'm right over here"! I almost jumped the line!
When I went trick or treating I got a full bucket of candy! Probably the best I got were Twix and Kit Kat. I know my mom is just waiting for her chance to swipe some... I wish I had a safe!!!
In Amish Country we didn't go out a lot... but one of the interesting things I had was lots of candy! The candy was really good. I got Sweet Tarts, Heath, Twix, Kit Kat, Tootsie Pop, Reese's, Whoppers, Almond Joys... stuff like that. If I was going to say the whole list it would probably be 10 feet long!...
We wanted to take one last trip with the trailer in 2016. We looked for a place within 2 hours of home, that would be fun for Daniel, with some local attractions, and that’s naturally beautiful. We thought about Amish Country and did a search for campgrounds… Yogi Bear’s Whispering Hills Jellystone Camp Resort in Big Prairie! Perfect!...
hhh… Amish Country… it makes me think of long rides through beautiful countryside to experience the simple life, open space, and fresh air. When I was a kid my mom, grandma, sister, and I would go to Amish country every fall… we’d stop at cheese places, walk through the towns, and sample great food. Last fall Todd had some photo assignments in Amish Country and we decided to take an overnight trip to the area. I hadn’t been to Amish Country in years and was excited to reacquaint with the area!...
