We had a nice morning, Dave made french toast and bacon. We went for a jog and a quick swim before we headed back into Shipshewana to visit the Menno-Hof museum. This is a wonderfully thoughtout museum about the Mennonites, Hutterites and Amish. We learned a lot about the 3 groups and what makes them different (I would give you the history lesson on the three, but I'm way too tired). The museum walks you through the Anabaptist movement from persecution to today. We really enjoyed how this museum was layed out. You would walk with a guide through different rooms that told the story through lights, video, movement and the visual surroundings. There was even a tornado room that attempted to simulate an actual tornado. That was the boys favorite room.
After the museum we drove to the Yoder Popcorn Shoppe, had samples and bought some popcorn. We then drove down the Heritage Trail and enjoyed more Amish sightings and awesome farms. We wanted to go to the Monaco factory tour but were too late so we decided to stay in town tonight and visit it tomorrow. We went back to pla-mor campground and made a nice dinner. Tomorrow the cable guy(DirecTV) is coming to hook up our dish! Yeah, I wont miss any "So you Think you can Dance."
Thought of the Day: Why do kids in suspenders and hats look so much cuter then kids in t-shirts and shorts?

Bacon, French toast and eggs, boy do I love those things when out in a RV seeing this great USA. What are the next states you will be visiting? Do you have any plans, or are you just making up your mind as you go? When you get a chance I would really like that history lesson. I’m not sure of the belief difference between the three groups. I’ve always loved American history and read about it all the time, but there is nothing like seeing where history was made and the places that make this country so great. Thanks for the awsome pictures. Mom and I will be going to lake pleasant next week with the 5th wheel and both Sea Doos. The batteries and plugs have been changed and they run great. The lake is about twenty minutes away and we will stay for about a week. Were a little closer to Bubby at the lake so we can take her to lunch. We miss you guys, but love being a part of you’re family dream. Love you Dad
