We love 'Intercourse'

Yesterday we explored some Amish communities in Pennsylvania. As we drove into the town of Paradise we came across this jogging Santa (yes, in July) who gave my mom a high five out of her van window.


We met my other brother, Tim, his wife, Mary, and their two kids, Monica and Matthias (Mary's due at the end of the month with their third child). They live on a 30-acre homestead in northeastern Pennsylvania.


All of us went to an Amish farm for a horse-drawn wagon ride between the towns of Bird-In-Hand (yes, that's the name of the town) and Intercourse (yes, that's the name of the town).


After eating homemade ice cream there we went home and drank homemade blackberry sangria. In the backyard, my dad set off fireworks that we watched under the stars and fireflies.
