They make their own root beer from syrup and soda water. :)

| Bonneyville Mill, est. 1832 |
 |
| Inside the mill. The boys thought this toilet was hilarious! |
This toilet empties into the water (pond/lake). We could see fish!
 |
| The workings inside the mill. It's still operational! |

| So serene! |

| Can you see the quilt garden? |
 |
| Silly boys! |
 |
| Buggies, Buggies, EVERYWHERE! |
It was so tempting to take pictures of the Amish, but they do not like to be photographed.

| Yummy Yoder Popcorn in TOPEKA, Indiana! |
Yoder Popcorn is in the book: 1,000 Places to See Before You Die.

| Old Smokestack at the Old Bag Factory in Goshen, IN. |
We found a beautiful, amish-made dining room set here at the Old Bag Factory.
 |
| I wish this place had been open! |
 |
| Dinner in Shipshewana, IN. 29 pies to choose from? Yes, please! |
We had German Chocolate, Cherry, Dutch Apple, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Cream.
Yum, yum, yum, and yum!
 |
| Peanut or Apple Butter for the homemade bread. |
 |
| Dinner! We chose the family-style and had an Amish waitress. |
 |
| De-lish! |
I heard about the
Heritage Trail and their well-known quilt gardens, so we loaded up and drove the trail Saturday. It was also listed as one of the Most Scenic Drives in America by Life Magazine. It was beautiful and hopefully we can drive it again this fall when the leaves change! We picked up the free audio tour (on CD) and learned about the local history and Amish along the drive. The boys found the buggies and Amish-dress interesting. Sean and I chuckled at all the horse/buggy hitching posts at the gas stations and grocery stores, next to the parking spots. What an interesting way of life!
