Amish Town USA!

Wow! Two posts in two days! Since we had a little holiday, Columbus Day and Ryan was off, we took a day trip up to Lancaster, PA. We stopped in a little town called Intercourse, yes people, that is the name. This is large Amish and Mennonite community and you really do see them in their horses and buggies, and plowing their fields. It was so interesting to see this simple way of life. We ate lunch at a traditional Amish restaurant and it was quite yummy! You should all try Shoo Fly Pie sometime. After lunch we headed to Strasburg to the old train station. If you ever have watched "Jon & Kate Plus 8," they live in this area and also went to this train station - that's my little claim to fame with this story! Anyway, we went on a wonderful train ride to see the countryside, and experience the ride on an original steam engine train. We didn't take any pictures of the Amish people out of respect to them. So after a long and fun day, Ryan and I were christened into true parenthood. We were driving on the freeway with Lily crying in the back seat. I turned around to see her with tears, coughing, the lovely snotty nose, and then it happened. I looked at Ryan and said, "She's going to throw up I know it." Sure enough, there it came. I surprised myself at how well we all handled the situation, and we still think upon our day with happiness! We hope you enjoy all the pre-puke pictures! Here are a few more!
