On Mother's Day I went up to Lancaster with, who else, my mother. I knew that we'd spend most of the day in the car because its what she enjoys doing (luckily I enjoy it just as much or even more, so it didn't give us something to butt heads on...). She had said that she wanted to go to Gettysburg or Lancaster, but since we're in Gettysburg all the time, I thought we should switch it up and go to Lancaster.On the way there, or right outside of the the actual city of Lancaster, we
came across this awesome park which was just amazing. I'm not sure exactly how big it is, but it has a million different sports fields where they had a bunch of games going on, a river/big stream running right through it, an amazing garden, a skate park and so much more. I know that if I lived in that area, I would be at that park every day that it was nice out. I'm not the nature-y kind of person that always wants to hike or camp for days, but I really do love just hanging out by the reservoir and at parks.But, my favorite part of the whole trip was seeing the Amish people. I don't know what it is but there is something I just love about them. I'm fascinated with their lifestyle and the way they live so simply but so focused. I honestly believe that their life is the life that God would picture everyone involved in. They're close to their family, because they all live around. Everyone is there for each other whenever something is going on. Their relationships are more personable because they don't cheat with email and text messaging. I don't think you'd understand unless you were me, so I'm not gonna waste too much time trying to convince you why its cool. But nonetheless, I really enjoyed being up there. It was a great day for it, and it was only at the very beginning and very end that my mother and I fought, so that was a start. It was a good day, for me. I mean, beside the fact that Mother's Day is seriously one of the hardest days of the year for me, it was good
