Pennsylvania was awesome!
On Thursday morning, Kara, Emily, Gandalf and I all piled into the Wegener's little car and set out on a grand adventure. Our first stop (excluding lunch, gas, and dinner) was Emily's aunt's and uncle's house just outside of Lancaster. They are old order Mennonites, and we spent the night with them. The next morning we drove around beautiful Lancaster and went to the market because Friday is market day.
Then, we drove to Kim's house in Hazleton, where we left Gandalf. He was coming to surprise her, and she was very surprised!
Next, we set out for Camp Susque, where all of the Knowldens were, except Carrie, but she isn't a Knowlden anymore anyway. We had an awesome time. Mr. Knowlden was the speaker, and we enjoyed him immensely.
The following day, Saturday, we went on a hike up a mountain with Keith and Katie. The view was beautiful when we got to the top. Then, Keith, Kara, Emily, and I all drove to Hazleton. On the way, we stopped at Keith's grandparents' farm, which was very picturesque. They had the most gorgeous barn which had been built in the late 1800's. Keith's grandpa took us on a tour of the farm on his four wheeler. The three of us girls piled on the back, and Keith sat on the front. The farm was beautiful.
Then, we went back into the farmhouse and were presented with a delightful supply of homemade doughnuts. After saying goodbye to aunts, uncles, and grandparents, we continued on our way. After visiting the school that Keith teaches at (which had the most awesome floor), we bought a pizza and brought it back to Keith's happy little trailer, where we ate it and watched Hoodwinked.
We spent the night at Kim's house. They have a beautiful home with lots of pine inside. It reminded me of a cabin.
On Sunday morning, we went to church. It was smaller than both Kara and I had expected, but very awesome. Keith made dinner for Gandalf, Kim, Kara, Emily, and me at his parent's house. Watching boys cook is amusing.
After evening service, we went to a New Year's party at the house of some people who go to the church. I never figured out whose house it was, except that they had an adorable little daughter named Naomi. I suppose I should have asked Naomi who her parents were.
Anyway, the house was AWESOME! it had a hobbit door upstairs that led out to a little balcony. It also had a gorgeous tower with a rotating top for a telescope which was not yet in place.
After counting down to midnight, we left the party because we intended to leave early the next morning. We ended up not leaving until about 8:30, but we still made it back to Indy in time for a delectable dinner of lasagna, broccoli, salad, French bread with a dessert of warm apple crisp and cold ice cream provided by mother. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Hope you don't mind that I linked your post. I'm glad you and Emily came with Kara. Aaron and Danielle Tripp hosted the New Year's Eve gathering. Enjoy the rest of break!
"Watching boys cook is amusing."
