Field trips. We spent a day in Amish country, starting with an Amish style lunch at Good N Plenty. Roo immediately made friends with the lady sitting next to him and managed to have her serve him the whole time while Bugs hollered down the place thanking the waitress for cooking for her! The food, oh so much of it and so good! Someone forgot to tell me there were FIVE desserts to try. I never give my kids dessert. It's not because I'm against it, it's that none of us are ever able to eat it after dinner. After we rolled out of there we headed on to the Amish Village to tour the house and learn a little about the Amish lifestyle. We took a quick tour of the outbuildings before boarding the bus for the tour of the countryside stopping at one of the Amish farms for a few minutes.
Our next trip was to Fort McHenry. My favorite part? Locking the kids in the jail cell of course! Bugs was very upset we made her quit washing laundry with the reenactors to actually see the inside of the fort. Two year olds, they are so concerned about chores! Apparently we wandered into some kind of kid fun day with all sorts of hands on activities. Bucko and Roo hand-stitched a few stiches of the American Flag that was being worked on, wrote with a feather quill and all three colored paper dolls that were wearing 1814 dress. Roo tried on some period costumes, he was adorable.
We left Fort McHenry and headed straight to D.C. as we were staying a few days with friends we hadn't seen in ages. While in D.C. we took the kids to the National Air and Space Museum via the Metro. I'm not sure which activity was the favored one. The boys begged to stand which we did allow on the ride back. We headed home a couple days later after an event filled trip that turned out to be a lot of fun.
