This is a super long overdue post, but I wanted to "remember" this moment. We headed up to Lancaster, PA this past summer to meet one of our bestie NJ families for the weekend. We had such a blast reuniting with our friends & spending the weekend in the country.
The kids were amazed with country life. We decided for something different & blindly opted to rent a country house off the Internet. Thank goodness, we found the perfect home & now we have a new favorite place to stay when we head up in that direction. Seriously...the house was amazing. Lots of bedrooms, big kitchen so we don't have to eat out all the time, the yard was amazing (beautiful views of country life, huge yard for the kids to run around in with complete swing set & toys to play with, bonfire area to hang out at during night time, & all on a working farm where they gave us tours!).
We arrived & the first thing the kids did was play. Look at this corn!
The farmer arrived later that night & said to come on down to see the baby cows & take a tour of his barn. Seriously, this made my trip. Look how adorable these cows are & we got to give them baby bottles full of milk to drink!
Later that night, it was time for our first bonfire of the weekend before we hit the beds!
The next day, we awoke & had a quick breakfast before we headed over to Dutch Wonderland, one of my favorite amusement parks for little children. After spending all day here, we went to one of the well-known Amish smorgasbord before heading home to call it a night.
The next day, we awoke & had a lazy Sunday morning (or as lazy as it can get with five kids, five and under) before we headed out to take a ride on a real Amish buggy through the countryside!
Before we left, we had one last lunch in a real railroad car & watched the train go by one more time!
What a fun summer memory for our family!
