Saturday Morning - Amish Marketplace / Random Shots

Saturday morning began with alarms (soccer horns!) going off at 5:30 as Nick, Sean and Mike wanted to go fishing.
Sean landed the biggest catch of the week!
After fishing, Nick began his day by finishing his ice cream.

Nick is the first to officially finish his 1/2 gallon! Sorry, Louann:)
My father took a quick picture of the boys with "Mom," the official trip chauffeur and photographer
Sean wanted to take everyone to the Windmill. It is a local farm and craft market where many local Amish and Mennonite members of the community market their products.
The boys had delicious egg sanwiches for breakfast at the market
A few photos of the marketplace (crowded early)

I don't like to take pictures of people without their permission but I did snap this one of a couple of Mennonite girls.
The marketplace is quite large (and crowded) with lots to look at. The boys had fun wandering and picking out small purchases to take home.
On the way back to the house, we took a few pictures we had missed.
A picture of just one of the MANY, MANY corn fields in the region
Some of the favorite pretzels, dips, etc. that we have enjoyed over the past few days are from this place. It is an Amish bulk food store. We made a stop to stock up on some favorites.
We stopped back at Seneca Farms for a birthday cake for tonight and took a picture of the sign outside. Thank you Kevin for the suggestion:)
So many flavors, too few days! The boys each chose a milkshake for the ride home.
This is a picture of the Trading Post where we had breakfast yesterday before heading to Niagara Falls.

We're back at the lake and looking forward to an afternoon here. The lake is a little rough for waterskiing so we will probably go tubing after lunch. In the meantime,

a little kayaking will keep the boys going!
Watch for Part II tonight.

  1. Wow, the boys look like they're having the time of their lives! I wish I was 16 again!
