Amish Country

This past weekend we took a trip to go and visit Grandma and Grandpa Vander Velde in Indiana. It was a very nice and relaxing weekend! As some of you may know I am fascinated with the Amish. I think their lifestyle is remarkable. Something I could never do, but they are so accustomed to doing. I'm mesmerized with all their talents and culture. There are quite a bit of Amish communities in Indiana, so on Saturday they took us to Shipshewana, IN. It reminded me alot of Door County, WI. But just with the Amish culture. It was a lot of fun and we got to see a lot of neat things. We also went on a horse and buggy ride. Our driver was an Amish man who had 5 children, he was quite the talker too. I asked him how long it would take him to get from his home to work which was 13 miles and he said, 1 hour and a half on horse and buggy. I couldn't believe it!

Needless to say we had a wonderful weekend. I can't wait to go back in the spring or summer time and go again.

Here are a few pictures from our weekend in Indiana.
