We went with some friends today to an Amish community. It was a lot of fun. They had some amazing small fried pies, apple fritters, and kettle corn. YUM! Eric and I both said that it would be our dinner as we chowed down on the large apple fritters that melted in our mouth but then we ended up swimming and got hungry and ordered BBQ chicken pizza as well. Go figure!
The kids loved seeing the horses pulling the wagons. It is quite an amazing community. We loved walking around in their market. They had so many jarred items that all looked so good. Eric and I had a hard time picking out what we wanted. They had vanilla peaches, different cheeses, and too much other stuff to mention it all. We also got to talk to an alpaca farmer and got to pet the momma and her 2 month old baby(that was almost as big as her mom). They are adorable sweet animals. We definitely walked away pretty knowledgeable about alpacas as the farmer who raises them talked to us for quite awhile about breeding and raising them. Their fur is soooo soft!!!
We ended the day with 2 hours of swimming at a very large outdoor YMCA pool that our friends invited us to. Avery transformed into a fish swimming underwater and having a blast. It was awesome. Two years ago she wouldn't put her face in the water!
Oh and we finished the night off with pizza which I already mentioned. Now we are going to VEG! Speaking of veg, I have been eating so much corn, peaches, and tomatoes lately. I have to stop at every farmers market, esp. the one that is on the way to school. I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts. I love getting mini whole wheat bagel and spreading it with light cream cheese and fresh garden tomatoes. It just tastes so good. And the corn I just smother with butter! Anyways been thinking about my dream garden someday. Will I ever be a true Gardener? Here's to enjoying the last bit of summer before I gladly welcome fall! I love fall!!!!!
And we enjoyed the day so much I didn't bust out my camera. Some moments just have to be captured in the noggin! So maybe when my kidlets will read this and they will remember : )
Happy Labor Day weekend!
