Kitchen Kettle

Kitchen Kettle Village is in the heart of Lancaster County, PA. It is famous for it's Pennsylvania Dutch quilts, crafts and home-made furniture.
Note: the name of the town Kitchen Kettle Village is located in is called Intercourse.  There are other towns nearby that are Virginville, Bareville, Blue Ball and Paradise.

Yummie, the gingerbread-man was there to greet the overly excited, young-at heart, silly grownups children.
In the middle of the village two men playing banjo's entertained the shoppers.
A Conestoga Wagon was on display.
The Amish men are known for wearing these straw hats.
The Amish do not drive cars. The kids are seen riding these scooters as a means of transportation.
The adults and their families ride in a horse and buggie.
Horse and buggies are a common site in the Amish Country.
This is an Amish farm next to Kitchen Kettle Village.
I wasn't able to get closer for better pictures.

It was a 90+ degree, but FUN day!

Happy Birthday Ahren!

Family and friends joined Ahren in celebrating his birthday at his favorite restaurant, Red Lobster.


He was embarrassed and surprised that we sang Happy Birthday to him in the middle of a restaurant.
 Probably more embarrassed!
Definitely more embarrassed!

Brandon's Devil Birthday Cake

 Happy Birthday to you...
 Happy Birthday to you….
 Happy Birthday dear Brandon...
 Happy Birthday to you...
 Happy Birthday birthday to you!
 You'd think it was my nephew, Tyce's birthday by the way he is blowing out the candles.
Brandon was a gracious cousin and let Tyce have all the fun!

My BFF made Brandon's cake.  For those who don't follow ice-hockey: the symbol on the cake is the New Jersey Devils logo.  The Devils are Brandon's favorite hockey team.  What makes it even better is what was UNDER the cake!!
New Jersey Devils rival - my favorite team - Philadelphia Flyers!
HA!!

Happy 16th Birthday Brandon.
I love you - even if you are a NJ Devils Fan.
