Amish Meal with 150 others

Saturday, June 13

Today, our agenda included an Amish meal, that happened to be at the Yoder's home we visited yesterday. This time, we had to get there on our own, so there was a long caravan of trucks headed there. We departed about 12:30, for a 1pm arrival. Just ahead of us in the truck line-up were our friends from Alabama, Malcolm and Valerie... Once we saw the line, we decided to carpool instead, so they jumped in with us.


As the caravan got close to the Yoder's, we had to wait a little as we all got parked. 

Getting seated and ready for the meal.

Kelly Barnett described it best in her blog: "We had a wonderful lunch, Carolyn and her husband Henry own the home and have helpers that come to help them with these meals.  They’re all very welcoming and the food is plentiful and very good.  It’s all served family-style. Today we were served fresh bread (with butter, Amish peanut butter & homemade jams), broccoli & cauliflower salad, chicken, Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, noodles and mixed vegetables." 

Then there was dessert, of course!  coconut cream pie, cherry pie and peanut butter pie. 



Would you believe they served all 150 of us in an hour? Very efficient! 

After lunch, we decided to stop back at the Rise 'n' Roll bakery again, to pick up some breakfast items, then headed back and dropped the Talleys back at their vehicle. 

We again napped for a bit, then did some more riding around the park on our bikes, visiting and looking at the display coaches. They don't have exact one we want, but it's nice to sit in them and "try them out" without huge crowds like an RV show, or with hovering salespeople like at a dealership. 

Another fun day!
