Country side and Mennonites

This weekend we drove through the country side to St. Jacobs and Elmira.
Here is an impression of the kind of farms we passed.

A lot of the farms are ran by Mennonites, who still drive their buggies pulled by horses and wear traditional clothes.

We had to get used to this kind of vehicles on the road...

And realize this was no flashback, but it was still May 9th 2009...

They even have special reserved parking spots at the local supermarket.

The kids loved to take a look at the horses.

We wondered if the Mc Donalds drive through had a special feature to serve the buggies as well:)

The market at St. Jacobs was fun to visit.



The royal Queen of Canada.

The Lego store next to the market was a big hit as well.
The kids LOVED the fact that they made the fastest car on the ramp.

Hoi Colette & family,

Wat leuk dat je onze US-belevenissen volgt. Ook leuk om jullie blog met foto's te zien. De kids groeien als kool! Jammer dat we dit keer niet in de buurt zijn, maar dit soort tripjes gaan naar steeds meer smaken, dus wie weet...

Groetjes,
Agnes & Bauke

Hi Robert,

Brynulf wants to know how you made that car. We went to Legoland in California and loved it. Brynulf wants to visit your house too and ride on your water slide. It is still too cold here in Seattle for shorts. If you come to our house, we will show you our new piano and our new lego stuff!!Talk to you soon!! -Janis, Brynulf and Rolf
