Closure on Sadie's trip...

So here is the brief recap of the rest of Sadie's trip...sorry about the Stephenie Meyer rant, I just had to get it off my chest. She left about a week ago and we feel suddenly very bored and un-entertained.
We had a blast with Sadie here, doing all the fun things that we love to do. Thanks for coming Sades!!! We miss you!

We hit the library to keep up with our summer reading program (wouldn't want the girls to miss out on all those fabulous prizes like plastic bags and foam sun visors!...our library is a very very old house and almost without fail someone in my little clan always comments on "the old smell" when we go each week.)


We swam...actually they swam, I watched with the babe.


We did the outlet mall...had to get some new rags for school soon!


We took Sadie to the Nautilus Submarine Museum. At first the wax sailors throughout the sub scared her...and then she started to think they were kinda cute.


We watched the bridge go up and down next to our favorite ice cream shoppe in Mystic.


...and of course did Mystic Pizza...


We took her to one of the impressive casinos out in the middle of the woods and ate at Hard Rock Cafe. This is her with a Britney Spears outfit...guess they couldn't sell it for any money, go figure.


...and this is the David Lee Roth poster at Hard Rock Cafe that scared Mia so bad she wouldn't stop crying until Clark left early with her.


Naturally we had to take her Cows N Cones...Mmmm, raspberry and white chocolate...


We sent Uncle Nolan/Bro off on his first deployment. sniff.


We bowled and did dance dance revolution.


They may not be able to throw the ball faster than 4 mph, but their socks sure were cute!


And we took advantage of Sadie's babysitting services to attend doctor's appointments and Clark's change of command ceremony for his Sub--he now has a new Captain. Clark was part of the official party and stood on the deck of the Nautilus holding a 10 pound spyglass for an hour in sunny 80 degree weather on the deck of a black submarine without moving an inch...he stood at attention the entire time moving only to salute on and off coming members of the ceremony. Sadie was worried for him-"what if he has to go to the bathroom?" We assured her that he would go potty before the ceremony started. I was mostly trying to convince him that if he had to faint, try not to roll off into the water where the killer swans would get him.
(yowzahs! what a stud...)

Thanks for the fun time Sadie!!!!!

I could be your Sadie replacement. You could take me swimming and shopping for Britney Spears outfits and feed me icecream. You can even take advantage of my babysitting while you oggle your man in uniform.

Are you sure that tall beauty is Sadie? Isn't she still an adorable baby sitting on her mom's lap in church? I swear I think that is the last time I saw her... so sad. You are gorgeous, Sades! I'm glad you all had such fun. I miss you.

Charlotte said...

Wow, now I feel boring. I don't do near as many fun things when company comes to visit.

Twinlinebackers said...

Yeah. Charlotte is boring. She makes her guests sit and stare at the water all day. Can you imagine how awful it would be to visit her?

I hope Sadie had fun. It was hard to share you so it's a good thing she's so happy and nice so we didn't mind as much.

Don't appologize for your book review - that's whats great about reading! Thank you for taking such good care of Sades. Your fam means so much to her (she COULDN'T get on a plane for just anyone!). You guys are so much fun and Clark is a stud.
