Students enjoyed
a homemade 7 course meal at AnaMae Miller's house. She had iced brownies
for dessert already on the table when we got there. We also had jello
for our salad. She started passing around the freshly baked bread,
noodles, garden grown corn, potatoes and gravy, fried chicken and
ham...and she didn't stop passing them around until everyone was full.
What a meal!
Students are still
trying to finish their first plate of food!
The bread and strawberry
jam were a big hit.
A buggy owned by Mr.
Miller. We were able to eat lunch at the Miller's home. Mr. Miller
makes his living operating a stable.
An actual Amish
schoolhouse that our tour guide pointed out to us. A typical school
would have 2 teachers and 35 students. Amish children attend school
from the 1st through the 8th grade.
The haunted cave
is always a big hit with the students.
Students were able
to climb to the top of the barn for a birds' eye view of Rockome.
Enjoying the beautiful
day at Rockome Gardens.
Mrs. Brown enjoying
a leisurely stroll on an old friend!
Students could
get their names engraved on a piece of wood at the blacksmith shop.
Girls enjoying all
of the many exhibits at Rockome Gardens.
Students enjoyed the
trip, but said that the two hour bus ride was "not fun!"
