A Weekend in Paradise....

Paradise, Pennsylvania that is! Right in Amish Country! Two weekends ago we drove up to PA to visit the Smuckers. I'm using their names on my blog because both Maile and Shawn blog and they use their children's names too.  Check out their blogs: Mai Time in the Kitchen and Shawn Smucker.

We had such a relaxing, fun time with them. Our children played together and we got to visit a farmer's market and a dairy farm to see cows milked. E took some of those photos and those are on his phone. So, for now I just have these photos I took on our camera:

Miss A rocking in a perfect size rocking chair...this chair belonged to Shawn when he was little-

Abra, who is also 2 1/2-

 

Big sister, Lucy, reading-

Two of "the littles" as the Smuckers would say-

 

All three ladies-

The eldest, Cade, pretending to fly-

Miss A, in her pj's, trying the same thing...but she couldn't quite get her feet high enough off the ground...

The youngest of the Smucker family-Samuel, age 1-

 

Our youngest, FJ, sitting in the same high chair-

Miss A and Abra playing-

A scenery photo---their spacious backyard-

Shawn sitting with Lucy and Cade-

I am sure this is exactly what Maile looks like when she is blogging about her culinary adventures-

Mai and Me just before we headed back on our 3 hour journey-

A photo of the veggies that they sent us home with....
-the tomatoes and zucchini (yes, that giant green vegetable on the counter is a zucchini) came from their garden and the red peppers came from the farmer's market...we've been enjoying these delicious vegetables...

We miss you guys a lot and had such a great time! Thank you Shawn and Maile for introducing us to Amish Country and for such a nice weekend with you all! We felt so welcome and can't wait to visit you again!!
