September 12-14 marked our 5th year heading out to Mount Vernon Nazarene University for the all day music festival SONFEST! Rain was the keyword as hurricane Ike found its way inland and moved through Ohio into PA. Foiling our plans to enjoy the lakefront home of Mom & Pops Maier, we piled into the (leaky) church van and headed for Grandpa's Cheesebarn (after all... my folks live in Amish Country).

Having filled our gullets with free samples (some less desirable than others) we headed over to Sweeties chocolate shop for a healthy dose of high fructose corn syrup... and good ol' straight up shhhhuuuuuggggaaaa!
Next was a jaunt to Fin Feather & Fur... kind of a local Cabelas... all your fishin' for and killin' critters and such kinda place. The ladies really dug all the fashionable offerings... not much different than living in NW PA!
The weekend happened to fall on Katie's 18th birthday so we celebrated together as my own was just a few days later. Adon and Jeff showed that tribal differences (BIG 10 College Football loyalties) can be set aside for the sake of community!
Bodies everywhere... 17 people and one baby makes tight quarters no matter where you are! The tunnel has instructions because it's only one lane. You have to pull up... roll down the window and listen for either honking or clopping (remember it's Amish country) and then proceed... honking or clopping as you go!
As Ike poured down upon almost all of Ohio... somehow Mt. Vernon stayed dry... although the joke became "Welcome to SWEAT-FEST" as the weather was 85 degrees with super high humidity!
