Bulk Foods-Here We Come!

My first introduction to an actual "Bulk Foods" Store, along with 5 of my other girl friends and their children! What an experience and one that will not be easily forgotten, not just  by us but by the dear Amish family who owns the store! :)

All lined up in our vehicles to follow our friend Tara who was giving us the tour!

Her precious daughter Elizabeth, who along with the other dear kiddos was feeding Riley and Sophie smarties the entire duration of the shopping trip.
