Our Amish trip

We went away Tuesday night for a small trip. We had to go to Mount Vernon, Ohio for a funeral so Brian decided to take us through Sugarcreek, Ohio to see Amish Country. Sugarcreek is about 1 1/2 hours from Mount Vernon. Anyway we spent all day Wednesday in Sugarcreek and had lots of fun. Zack did not go with us. He wanted to stay with my in laws. He went on a trip to Columbus Zoo over Labor Day and Logan did not go to that. I guess they have decided to take turns. The funeral viewing was Wednesday night so around 4:00 we headed to Mount Vernon. We had to wait 2 hours to get into the building for viewing. I have never seen so many people in all my life. Bro. William Harding was a very well known preacher and missionary. He did the mission fields in Phillipines, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Africa. He and his wife Sister Margaret worked the fields together. The funeral was at 11 am Thursday so I told Brian we had better leave early. We got their at 10:30 and had to wait 30 minutes to get in the door. I did not have a jacket and like to have froze to death. Sister Tigner was at the door and let me and Isaiah come in out of the cold. It was so crowded!!! The funeral lasted 2 hours. All of his children (5) had something to say about their father and the choir sang some beautiful songs. It was a very nice memorial service. After that Isaiah was fussy so we went to the car and did not go to the grave site. We headed back to Sugarcreek and went to eat at Troyer's Family Restaurant and then went local market looking for some deals but there were none and made a pit stop at a Chocolate place. Yummy!! We did find some deals the first day at a thrift store. I got a bunch of books for school. Why is it that homeschool moms run straight for the book section? Anyway it was a nice place.
