Out of respect for the Amish, we didn't take any pictures of the people themselves, however, we were able to take some pictures of the buggys and wagons that they use as well as a picture of one of the homes that is used to show their way of life. We learned so much about these simple people and it really hits home the idea to "Simplify."
This was the final trip for the summer. We went to Lancaster County, PA, where we were able to have fun at the Dutch Wonderland park, visit some real working Amish farms and just have a fun time relaxing together as a family before we start preschool and Sean starts to travel for his job. We had a ton of FUN!
Sean, Abby and Jaxon were making smoothies with berries that we picked at one of the local farms here in New Jersey. The kids loved it!

Our Bathing Beauties! This was at the water park in Utah. The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins! 
Taking Grandpa "Sniff"(Smith) for a walk around the living room at Grandpa and Grandma Erickson's house. This was his exercise for the day and Abby and Jaxon loved to make sure that he did it, much to his chagrin!

Holly, awesome post. You're kids are adorable. It looks like they had fun in Utah with their cousins and with the Amish. How cool! I hope you are settling in okay in New Jersey. I know it takes some time. You should think about joining Facebook.
Hey sounds like it has been crazy, but hopefully you can get settled in fast and back in a routine that is not so crazy! Good to see you back!
Amanda should be the spokeswoman for facebook - she even got me to join. Glad to see you are back in the blogging world. Love the new layout.
Your kids are way cute Holly. I saw the picture of Nauvoo up there and I got kinda jealous of you guys. What is Sean doing now that causes him to travel?
