Amish School

Today we were so excited to come across an Amish school!  My kids said "Why aren't they on Spring Break like us?"  Ha!

The children seemed to be having such fun.  I love driving past Amish communities, it's like stepping back in time.  I so admire their way of life.

 These are the only shots I got, I was driving, and trying not to be obvious about taking pictures.  I didn't want to intrude too much on their day.  The little cutie(in blue)in the photo below waved at us as we drove by.

Love these photos. Reminds me of visiting Amana Iowa a number of years ago. Though not an Amish colony sometimes mistaken and same sort of lifestyle..was/is a tourist stop with woolen mill, museum and couple of very nice restaraunts that served simple delicious meals family style.

We have Amish and Mennonite communities in our area. Always wonderful to see their simple life in action.

Aww, that's so sweet that she waved at ya'll. She probably would have loved to have played with your girls.

I admire anyone who follows their beliefs with such dedication.
