Yesterday we went to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. There we stopped at a few Amish stores and looked around. There were all sorts of homemade items for sale at the stores we stopped at. As we were driving around we also saw a very neat steam engine train.  You could go on train rides but we were holding out for a buggy ride!

After eating a family style Thanksgiving type meal at a place called Plain and Simple (which was supper yummy, buy way too much food) we got to go on a buggy ride behind a horse. It was cool to see how their life style is so much different from ours.  Our buggy driver informed us a little bit about the Amish life. Their life seems so much more simple but hard work! The men milk the cows and do the farming while the girls cook and clean all without the use of electricity. We got to play with some cute kittens as well. They had a lot of work horses pulling buggies that we saw along the road.

The horses that pulled us where named Jake and Sid. Jake got a little more distracted by things and was a little bit more eager. Over all they both did super well and it was very fun to go on that ride.

Here is Jake and Sid

We played with all the kitties hanging out by the barn.

After the ride we headed to a Walmart for a few groceries then went back to the camper and made kitty cocktails to eat with some of the treats we bought. It was a fun day filled with new experiences.

Here is the parking at the Walmart that we stopped and bought some groceries at.
