the day we went to an amish auction

one of the most memorable parts of our trip was the day we went to an amish auction

boxes of potatoes, raspberries, squash, kale, pumpkins and more were being auctioned off to anyone who wanted to register for a number.

and then mom took us out to the side of the auction barn

so that we could see the amish horses and their buggies

we had borrowed a sweet little amish book from the library that we read before we went out to "amish country" and avery was precious and embarrassing as she exclaimed, rather loudly, LOTS of times "look mom, there are the amish's"

a neat experience for sure.
