Field Trip: Lancaster with friends

This week a different W family (that also moved away to Utah) came into town for a visit.  We took their two girls to Lancaster for the day while their mom worked. 
 We visited our favorite Amish dairy and bought some ice cream to share.  We met the cows that the milk comes from.
  And the calves.


We went to a homemade pretzel shop for some pretzels and dips. Cinnamon pretzels were the favorite.
 We visited some new shops: fabrics, notions, and dry goods. The dry goods store had a lot of Calico Critters in stock.  My kids are terribly obsessed with them and had to spend ages exclaiming over how cute each set was...  It was a struggle for me.  Each of the kids got a handkerchief. 
 And we checked out the Roots auction and outdoor market that my cousin told me about. It happens every Tuesday.  They were auctioning some poultry and big loads of fruit.

 They also had tons of the standard flea market type vendors outside.  I was not terribly impressed with the prices, but it was fun to look around and see what they had.
