Journey to Bethlehem

So Sadie and I were supposed to go over to the Hanlins for a play date and instead we ended up in Amish Country. Nanette got this great idea to do the Journey to Bethlehem. You start at this retirement center in Walnut creek near Sugar creek and there are 8 stops including The Farm at Walnut Creek at the end. So we got a little lost Garmin didn't recognize the town. By the time we got down there, there wasn't enough time to do all of the stops, so we just headed straight to The Farm. Wow was it impressive! It was all free. There were horse drawn wagon rides and there were all kinds of animals to pet, camels, ox, miniature horses, goats, sheep, pigs, you name it they had it. There was a live nativity scene and an interactive Christmas play with all of the animals. You were able to tour the house and they had free hot chocolate and coffee, Amish chocolates, the most delicious cinnamon buns I have ever had in my life, candy canes, and cookies. Outside they had fires going where you could roast marshmallows and they were making kettle corn. Yum. Did I mention this was all free? Nannnette ran into her co-worker that had told her about it that day and he gave us directions that involved well lit highways on the way home we didn't have to worry about going around dark bends fearful to a hit a buggy. It is only the first week-end in December Friday and Saturday nights from 4-9pm. What a great night!
