One of the best things about where we live is that we are so close to several Amish farms and market stands. After having a nice lazy morning at home, we picked up Paxton and headed out for fresh produce.
At the first stand, we found wonderful melons. Camden and I both really wanted a watermelon even though Kevin doesn't like them. We selected a nice heavy one and some corn on the cob for one dinner this week. The kids quickly found that there were rabbits in cages under the trailer and were fascinated while I shopped.
Just about 1/2 mile down the road was an Amish homestead. There corn was much better and I wish I had waited! But they also had some nice zucchini and tomatoes. The kids were once again fascinated by the animals nearby.
We were in a little town called Bellmore. One of the best things about this one stoplight town is The Big Berry. It's a classic Indiana ice cream shop (think Tasty Freeze/Frozen Custard/Lindy Freeze) and is also known for it's cheeseburgers. My favorite reason to stop here is the onion rings!
We enjoyed lunch inside the small building, but took our ice cream cones outside. It was a beautiful sunny, but not too hot summer day.
