Amish girls at play

My husband and I were visiting the Amish town of Shipshewana in northern Indiana when we happened upon an Amish auction that was open to the public. These sweet little girls were having a grant time on the trampoline, so my husband got permission from one of thier parents to take this video.

What the hell are they wearing eesh

@smiggles123100 - they're wearing simple dresses and "prayer caps", just like all Amish females do. It's an interesting and respectable culture and religion, so you should do yourself a favor and Google "Amish culture" to read about these simple, honest, and charming people.

Cute little things! I hope they grow up healthy, happy, and loved.

[Peggy91193]

@Mufaso1000 Oh, yes... I'm sure they're very happy, secure, and very much loved. We were truly impressed to observe the loving inter-action between the people in this Amish community! They seemed to perfectly demonstrate the idea that It takes a village to raise a child.

@pinkfreud62  they're deffo Amish

[freetoflynow]

@pinkfreud62 They are definitely Amish children not Mennonite. I grew up in the Shipshewana area. Amish vary from area to area so some are more liberal.

@pinkfreud62 Um , The Mennonites came first . The Amish were an extremist sect who broke off from The Mennonites whom they saw as too lenient .

At least they are not obese.

@Peggy91193 : I once taught at a rural school that had a few Amish kids. They were well-adjusted. disciplined, happy, and eager to learn.

@SuperPokoyoko I think they were Mennonites.. A more modern off shoot of the Amish.
