Fourth of July weekend is something we always looked fore ward to.

Every year we would go to the ox roast and what (growing up) we call, the penny candy store.

Even though the penny candy store was 10 minutes away we never went there except in July. So this was the fun part of the year that was part of the exciting things we did in the summer growing up. We would walk around the ox roast see what people were selling and ended the trip by buying ice cream and some candy at the 'penny candy store'.

Watching the people and knowing who was a tourist and who wasn't. ;)

( In amish country you can always tell!)

 Probably the funniest thing about us is we've been coming every year for the past 10 years about and have never bought an ox roasts sandwich...which you know is kinda the main staple there.

 

A. The line is super long.

 

B. Half of us either have celiac disease or an allergy to gluten (in the bread).

 

C. Big families pack lunches or eat before hand. :)

 

So we never had the Ox Roasts, roast sandwiches.

 

 

                                     This guy is here every year and has some amazing icecream!!

This year they had an rc car race track. Of course the amish boys jumped at a chance to try it. :)

                                                                               the beloved penny candy. :)

                                                                  I couldn't resist doing this. :P

Chain saw art! Made 100% by one man and his chainsaw.

And End of the Commons is the name of the 'penny candy store'

Now usually we go see fireworks at the fiargrounds, but this year we went somewhere else the night before. So for the evening we got icecream, sparklers, fire crackers (thanks to the oxroasts vendor.)
and had a wonderful evening. :)

                                                                   These two dudes. Enough said. :)

                                                               Light'em and run. That's my motto.

                                                         Sister bonding at the ox roast.:)

         Hope you all had a fantastic Independence day and if your not American, a happy 4th of july! :)
