We spent August 3rd and 4th in Shipshewana, Indiana among the Amish. Penny finds their peaceful life fascinating. It is an intriguing idea to remove yourself from the modern conveniences of this world to draw closer to God. There's a lesson for us in their simple way of life. 
We learned about Amish history and beliefs at a local museum, experienced an Amish flea market, and thoroughly enjoyed driving around observing their homes and way of life. We all learned that we don't burn off nearly enough calories to eat delicious traditional Amish meals on a regular basis. There were so many pictures of Amish people, especially children, that we wanted to take, but out of respect we obstained. 
We saw miniature ponies everywhere. Benjamin enjoyed feeding and petting the ones in the field next to our campsite.
