Amish spotting and apple picking

This past weekend Filip, Piotrek and I made a dash out of the city on Friday night and drove to Lebanon, PA to visit Adam, Jenny and baby Tyler. When we got there around midnight we found pumpkin and chocolate chip muffins waiting for us and a note saying "welcome to the country!"

We woke up the next day to the smell of banana pancakes and the sounds of baby Tyler pushing around his new truck! After breakfast we explored around the barn and had some photo ops with the John Deere lawn mower, which I got to ride around in later. Who knew going 5 mph around the lawn would be so much fun! We then went to the tractor supply store and the farmers market! During the afternoon we met up with Jenny's co-worker, whose father owns an orchard and went driving around in an old school pick up truck with no overhead cab and picked bags full of apples, which we later made pie and crisps with! On our way back from the orchard we went Amish spotting but weren't fortunate to see any, only evidence we found was fresh horse manure on the side of the road, so we must have missed them by only a few minutes! maybe next time. After our delish dinner we rolled outdoors and had a bonfire and ate smores! *note: this weekend pretty much revolved around food.

On Sunday we pilled into the Pacifica like the big happy family we were and went to church. Then it was off to the Renaissance Faire with "me lords" where we harassed a few wenches during wine tasting and gobbled down giant turkey legs while cheering for the English at the jousting tournament! We finished off the faire drinking ale and watching the off beat explicit comedy shows which involved lots of inappropriate sexual humor! Who knew the renaissance fair could be so raunchy!

We got back to the city just in time to watch Entourage and Californiacation! All in all a fantastic weekend! Its nice to get out of the city, especially now that the weather is a little crisp and the leaves are starting to change colors!
