rollin' central pa style




















tu friends lindsay, beth, and keiran came down for some 717-goodness. took them to my church's polka dance where we proceeded to tear up the gym floor alongside all our geriatric new pals. seriously though- dave was a beast with the polka. and theresa taught us some pretty sweet line dance moves. lindsay did have to dance (a slow, and very close dance if i might add) with a smelly creeper guy but overall it was a good time. there was a keg! and a buffet! and my mom was having a blast- she made all kinds of new friends. all the people were excited to see young people there too which was nice. i love elderly folks.
we hit up the diner afterwards then had a lil' slumber party. in the morning my mom made us a really nice breakfast (she's so cute). then fornwald and mike came over as well as fellow 717-ers corrie, jen, ellen, and thomas and we hit up the farm show. IT WAS PACKED. i have never seen it that crowded. it was insanity. there were some spots where you couldn't even move. but we got our milkshakes and bloomin' onions. julie bare made it down as well and we got to hit up pretty much all the hot spots. chickens, rabbits, pigs, goats, horses, etc. we got our boots waxed/shined by a cool boot guy. (that stuff smelled so good! and my boots look great!) we saw the butter sculpture and got free samples. we also got to hang out with miss audrey, jen's baby, who is the the most serious, adorable baby ever. she was really good the whole time despite the crowds or the fact that we were dragging her around for close to five hours (mad props jen and audrey!). we eventually crashed, went home, ate hummus, and watched youtube. excellent experience overall. made me miss temple though. only a week and we're back. . .

  1. Ah, so jealous of your polka-ing!

    Those are REALLY cute baby pictures.

    Is that a butter sculpture I see?
    I miss going to country fairs. The ones in Maine always happen in the fall when I'm here. Darn!
