This past weekend we were in Lawrenceburg, TN for Ryan's brother's wedding. It worked out really well because I have an Aunt and Uncle that live there. So,we went a day early to spend some time with them and some of my other family that lives in TN. There is an Amish community in Lawrenceburg so we spent some of Friday and Saturday driving around looking at the land and seeing the people. There was a lot of men working out in the fields both days and it was really amazing to see the equipment they work with and how they do their farming. It really takes you back in time and makes you appreciate the modern conviences that we have today. We stopped by Walmart and they have hitching posts and water troughs for the horses. Who knew that the Amish shop at Walmart?? Well, they do and they have places all over town for the horses when the Amish make the trip in. It's really fascinating. We went "shopping" at some of the houses on Saturday. Ryan was told that the Amish jam is worth trying, so we went looking for some. We stopped at a few houses and I got scolded for taking pictures. I had to share this one that I snapped just in time. Avery found a little girl that was 2 1/2 and was trying to make a friend. She kept telling the girl to "Come on, let's go" "Let's go see the horses". The little girl was adorable. She followed Avery around a little bit and wouldn't stop smiling the whole time. She never spoke a word. This is Avery leaned up against the shed trying to coax the little girl into following her.
