TinyWorld, USA

This weekend, the family and I took a trip to TinyWorld, USA.

It was the first time we’d ever heard of Tiny World, and was pleasantly surprised to find it located near Shippensburg, PA.tiny world

My first thought about TinyWorld, was that it would look like the picture above.

But as you can see, TinyWorld was much “larger” in retrospect than  proclaims.

And what place wouldn’t be complete without their very own fire station?

 Most of the building of TinyWorld were about waist-high to the average height adult, and just the right size for little ones too look into the windows of many of the town buildings.  My family and I were quite fascinated with the moving carolers in the church, the dairy barn with cattle in the paddock outside, little homes fully furnished, and the schoolhouse - complete with the photo graphs of former students.

Each house was lit up in a allure of christmas lights and pathways.  As small flakes of snow began to fall, the sounds of awe eyed children, laughter, and good humor flowed through the air.

But if the giant inflated snowmen and santa were not enough, this barrel sized rootbeer was enough to have everyone in the family craving a rootbeer float!

After we were back inside our warm and cozy vehicle the kids were asking if we’d come back again soon.  So, we promised that next year we’d return and may it just might become a tradition for the Lower family to visit TinyWorld each year around the holidays.

Besides sharing the excitement of this unique and wonderful place with my family, I have to admit the miniature stables was my favorite part of TinyWorld.

They say you can take a farm girl from the farm, but you can’t ever take the farm resides inside a girl’s heart away.
