Ashland, Ohio (part 3)

Another one of our adventures in Ohio was going to an Amish Farm.  We learned a lot of interesting facts about how the Amish lived, cooked, farmed, went to school, went to church, and took care of the animals.  Here are a few pictures of the beautiful scenery.










This is the school house where multiple grades would gather in one classroom to learn.

Justin, James, and I chose to sit in the back row.
(Justin was a math whiz while the "teacher" was calling out flash cards to us!...He knew every answer!)



We all got to go on a horse and buggy ride through the farms.
Here is my sister's sweet family.
Melanie and Anthony are in the back.
Mario with new little Lucas are in the front.

Me and my dad in the back of our buggy :)

Justin held James in the front.  James LOVED the ride.

He even rode again with Meme!

James gives cousin Anthony a sweet hug!

Headed to the restaurant.... I think James is a little young still to be driving!

The whole family relaxes in front of the amish restaurant.

Haha... thought the look on James' face was pretty funny.
He was pretty tired if you can't tell.

Good ole country mashed potatoes will get your energy going again!
