We first went to Fisherman’s Cove with the De Jong family when Paul & I were dating, and we’ve been going back nearly every summer since then. We’ve made many happy memories there. And have WAAY too many pictures to share (as usual! ;)
Double trouble… Kaylee & Ryan checking out one of Grandpa’s tractors : )

There’s those troublemakers again, up in the loft – yikes! ; )
One morning there were ducks swimming in the pool…. eww. :P
Supper at Das Dutchman Essenhaus, a unique Amish-style restaurant located near Shipshewana in the heart of Amish country
We saw quite a few Amish buggies on the way to and from the restaurant,
but didn’t get any pictures of them. :(
Time for some fun in the pool… there goes Evan!
And Caleb!
Seth’s turn
Annie, too
Paul getting dunked
How many kids can you fit in a hot tub?! :)
A gem we found at a Shipshewana fleamarket.
(No, we did not take it home. ;)
Visiting the Guggisberg Deutsch Kase Haus Cheese Factory with Grandma
(Flashback… we were last here in 2009, shortly before Kara was born!)
Ryan liked his cheese hat a lot! :)
