Lancaster


Time flies when you are having fun! We have been so busy as of late that I have put off documenting all we have done. I have enjoyed the private togetherness we have been spending as a family but now it's time to let you in on all the fun. 

LANCASTER COUNTY!

For Mother's day Matt told me we could go whereever we wanted for Mother's day weekend. I thought it would be fun to go stare at the Amish (just kidding, we didn't stare we just admired). So we headed off to Lancaster County, PA only a 2 hour drive from our home in New Jersey.






We took Peter to a petting zoo in Intercourse, PA and he really liked the animals. Below is a picture of him after the donkey sucked on his finger. He didn't like that at all! We ate at fun family farm restaurant  drank homemade rootbeer and browesed the Amish markets. Out of repsect for the Amish people we did not photograph them. Although I enjoyed seeing them work in their fields with their plows and horses. I admired their work ethic and the simpicity of their life style. It was a breath of fresh air.

We also found some covered bridges. It was a lovely and fun day of exploration
