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?
