A fun day at the park

These young Amish children are enjoying the playground equipment at a recent family outing near Geneva, Ind. Hanging on for dear life, this young Amish boy finally was coaxed down by his grandmother who was waiting at the end of the slide. (Editor's note: The photographer gained permission from the family before taking the pictures. A family member said some Amish families allow pictures, while others don't. She called it a personal decision for each family.)
