Parades and Parties

Among the many fun activities we did whilst visiting the heart of Amish country was watch a parade in tiny Bristol, Indiana.  A mix of the modern and the old.  The kids managed to gather some candy.

After which, we rested in front of the oldest stick building in Indiana, the "Stone Soup Emporium".  Rumor has it that a ghost haunts the upper floor of this eclectic ice cream shop, which also sells everything from hand-painted stools to antique comics. The ice cream is to die for.

We also celebrated multiple birthdays.  The theme for my brother's son, Ben, was superheros.

We went with what we had... The best part of it all was being with family!
