Lancaster County on Columbus Day weekend

"I heart Intercourse ... Pennsylvania" shirts were proudly displayed at even the most upstanding stores in Intercourse, PA. But we happily accepted the tongue-in-cheek humor right along with the shoo-fly pie, the homemade root beer, and the hearty German fare that welcomed us to Lancaster County, PA this past weekend.

We stayed at a wonderful Amish-owned and I suspected Amish-built log cabin just outside Intercourse and were happy that Edward and Stephanie were able to join us for a night.

Our weekend included:

Playing with lots of animals (as you'll see throughout all our pictures)

Visiting a farm with a corn maize and a pumpkin patch






We built this log cabin all by ourselves ... like men (without instructions)





Playing in our backyard

Eating outside

And visiting an old Amish farmstead

Awesome video of E with the llama but how funny that the goat makes her nervous while the llama helping her turn the handle with his teeth, does not.
The log cabin where you stayed looks nice.
Love the Tommy The Train (?) photos. You could put the two together (fotoshop)and make it a picture of the month.
Beautiful profile Kate.

Love to all
