Monday we hosted our first of four summer kid swaps. We had a great day. Little bit of 5-6 year old drama, but mostly good. Lunch was a hit. It's worth slaving over 2 boxes of mac'n'cheese when everyone loves it as much as these guys did.
Yesterday was day 2 of kid swap at Alecia's. We dropped girls off, picked Asa up, and hit the thrift stores for more last minute trek gear.
After three failed Amish stops (no hats!) we finally came upon this amazing Amish store on Dove Point Lane. We loved the little pony parking.
The store had everything you could think of! It was like an Amish Walmart. :)
They even had a gas powered ceiling fan. Those clever Amish!
All different flavors of jello. They get bulk groceries and portion them out into bags and sell them cheap'ish.
All different sprinkles and spices. I just thought it was a really cool place. I will definitely be going back!
Finally, hat success! We were so excited to have Amish hats... and then Chris took his off and found a "Made in Mexico" tag inside. :/
Whilst we were living in an Amish paradise, the girls were living the life at Alecia's. Kid swap days are sa-weet.
And picking up 3 exhausted girls is pretty sa-weet too. Maggie had stayed the night before and the girls "woke up" at 6:30 saying "we're not tired. Look, we're happy, not grumpy." All seemed very suspiciously rehearsed like something being told to them by a big girl 9-year-old. Not sa-weet is that the 2 littlest grabbed a cat nap and then never went back to sleep. The 6-year-old "I'm not tired" stayed awake until we got home and then fell asleep.
That is one snazzy looking ready for trek'er! He's still making comments, but I know he's excited to go. Can't wait!
