Fun Stories

My grandmother loves to go on road trips. A few years ago, she took my little sister (eight or nine at the time), my mother, my grandfather and I (fifteen at the time) to Ohio to go to the "Amish Country". It is one of her FAVORITE trips to go on. While we were there I had the opportunity to do some pretty cool things. I had some of the sweetest peanut butter I have EVER tasted from Yoder's Amish Farm. I also got to see one of the funniest things in the WORLD there. We were in the barn, and suddenly, there was a pony running around us. He had laid down, and slithered under the door to his stall. They said he did it all the time. It was hilarious. I pet a zebra, some deer, my mom got her foot licked by a buffalo, our buggy was chased by an ostridge and my grandfather got bitten by an emu at Rolling Ridge Ranch. The zebra, who was nice enough to let me pet him, STOLE the bucket of food I was feeding the animals with by putting his mouth in the bucket, opening his mouth all the way, jerking it away from me, and then set it on the ground to eat out of it. I also got hit on by several Amish boys. My grandmother would have just died if I had even talked to one of them. She has always wanted me to end up being an Amish girl. I do not think I would survive, but, it would probably be a pretty cool experience. It was one of the most fun trips of my life. I had only gone once before, when I was really really little, and I only remembered little bits of it. I was so happy to go back and see everything again. We got lost a couple of times, because my mom was following the GPS, when she knows the roads pretty well, having been there a TON of times. So, my question for you... Have you been on any AWESOME trips that brought back some great childhood memories?
