Our beloved, local friend and family member, Lisa, loves reading about the Amish. None of us are actually of Amish practice, but we adopted some of their ways, maybe modified them and turned it into one birthday party to remember.

A couple things we know about the Amish are that they are an earthy people, meaning they work the land, raise animals, etc. and they are a crafty people who have a reputation for incredible quilt-making skills. These traits, coupled with some not-so-Amish-but-fun-anyways events made for a wet and wild race that had everyone laughing.

The order of events were as follows:
1) Three-legged and sack races
2) Gumboot chucking
3) Sewing a quilt square
4) Bobbing for peaches
5) Hog calling
6) Corn shucking
7) Chicken catching

Note: In no way do we mean to show any disrespect toward the Amish community. We are fully aware they don't run around chasing chickens all day.
