My six-year-old nephew is staying with us for the week, so yesterday we decided on a field trip to the neighboring county. Our first stop was to a dairy farm in the midst of beautiful Amish country. Joseph enjoyed feeding calves and playing with barn cats while Eli followed the peacocks around collecting any feathers they dropped. We had a picnic lunch in the shade of the tall-growing corn and then enjoyed some of the dairy's homemade ice cream. (I had a small dish of their maple-walnut flavor - delicious!) We drove down the road then to the Interc*urse Pretzel Factory for their 15-minute demonstration of how they make soft and hard pretzels. None of the boys wanted to try their hand at pretzel-forming but did enjoy butter pretzel sticks on the drive home. Our last stop was to Kauffman's Fruit Stand where I picked up a nice big box of Red Haven peaches and a bag of ground flaxseed.
A good time was had by all!

Sounds fun!
Eli's picture reminds me that In Cedar Run last week, I overheard some older ladies talking about S - "Well at least the green on her chin, matches the green turtle on her shirt and her shorts."
