Germanfest was awesome! We ate brats and drank beer (yes, even me!) The kids did the mini ferris wheel, swings and bounce house. As a family, we rode the train and rented a modelT bike for a nice drive through the park. Today we ALL slept in til 8:45 - wow for us!! I made a scrambled egg breakfast and we loaded up the car and headed to one of the many Amish communities in the area. They're doing something right, I'll tell ya. Each Amish farmstead was immaculate, perfect white house, manicured lawns, clean, neat, orderly - it was so wonderful to see. I'm thinking I could easily spend a week with one of those families. "You'll have to leave your iPhone behind." Was Mike's only comment. Yeah, I could do it - sans kids. I'd read, sleep, take walks, cook, eat. But after a week - okay, three days - I'd need to get back to civilization, my iPhone, and the chaos of it all.
So we returned from this trip and, after putting Stevie down for his nap, I snuck out on a quest for shorts and was semi-successful. I found one pair that I was "ok" with. I'm so picky about what I wear from the waist down. MUST be comfortable AND slimming. Not so easy these days - I can't shake this belly!! Oh, well - no need to talk negative about myself - I'm healthy and happy and things could be far worse.
