The sound of drumming, silenced!

It's nice to know someone missed me! We had a nice anniversary. We weren't able to go on a trip this year. We found fun things to do and spent a lot of quality time together. On Friday night we ate pizza by candle and firelight, watched a movie and then fell asleep next to the cozy warm fire. On Saturday afternoon we drove to Shipshewana, IN. The drive was pretty. We decided to visit a park there (actually in Topeka)called The David Rogers Memorial Park. It was fun! It might not seem like anything special but we're history geeks. We were able to actually go inside of all the buildings on the property. We explored the park for about half an hour then decided to head back to town. We decided it would be fun to take an Amish horse and buggy ride. I don't have any pics of that because the tour guide says you're not supposed to ask Amish people to pose for photos. It was a great time! The driver extended our tour even though we only paid for the short one. He was very nice and answered all our (there was girl who took the tour with us) questions. He even took us to his mother and father's house. They actually weren't home but he used the spare key and gave us the grand tour. It did feel a bit strange being in someone's home while they were away. All in all it was pretty fun. My mom was really jealous. She really likes the novelty of Amish culture and reads every novel Beverly Lewis writes. I know it's not very nice but part of me couldn't wait to get home and say "guess what I got to do!"
