Intercourse, PA

Hi folks!!   Sorry you haven't heard from us in a couple of days!    All is well, we've just been a little lazy.   Each night Dennis has built a great fire!!   By the time we get inside, look at a little TV - it's time for bed.   But I'll try to catch you up on some of our events!!

 

Arrived Tuesday 9/3/13 at one of our favorite campgrounds - Beacon Hill Camping in Intercourse, PA.   We've stayed here several times before and have always enjoyed it.   It's on a fairly busy road but is still enough in the country.   Lots of horse & buggies go by as we are close to many farms.   Right across the street is Sam King's farm.   We have been watching them harvest corn and store it in the silos.   Also have a great view of the cows.    There is also a big store right across the street called King's Homestead.   They sell a lot of furniture, craft & have a pond with ducks and other animals.                 

                                                                    Relaxing!!

 

 

                                               See the tobacco hanging in the barn

                                                        Getting ready for dinner!!

 

 

                                   Walked around after dinner across the street from the campground

                                                       I wanted to bring one home :))

                                                Is the grass greener on the other side??

                                                                  Mooooooo!!

                                                      Paul Bunyan at work!!

                                         Getting the fire ready for the evening!



                                                              Wednesday 9-4-2013

 

Breakfast Wednesday morning - Belgian Waffles & Sausage prepared by Chef Dennis!!

                                        Did a little shopping on Wednesday.  These ornaments are the same guy that lives in Mechanicsville - Glen Crider - that makes the nutcrackers.  

Went to a knife store. Hundreds of them.

                                                 Thursday, 9-5 off again to another state park

 

 Here we go again - drove about 30 miles to French Creek State Park for another kayak excursion!!

These beautiful flowers were blooming all over the lily pads!!

                                                                                                          Lunch time!!

                                               Flock of Canadian Geese near the shore



Then it was on to dinner at our favorite restaurant - Dienner's Country Restaurant.   They have genuine Pennsylvania Dutch cooking and specialize in rotisserie chicken.   You won't leave there hungry that's for sure :)).  

 

 

Dennis fixed another nice fire tonight.    It's supposed to go down into the 40's tonight, so we'll be piling the blankets on.

Night, night
