Birthday DESERT ~ Sadie Style

We had planned to take Sadie, her bestie and the rest of the Growing Garcia's out for ice cream BUT Sadie had a better idea.

She and Lola and their chauffeur (her daddy) headed of to publix where they bought all the fixin's (nuts, caramel, butterscotch, hot fudge, cherries, whipped cream, bananas, magic shell oh and I almost forgot 2 gallons of ice cream) and we made mile high sundae's for the birthday girl and all to enjoy.

Check it out...

Yep we totally put a candle

on her ice cream sundae

Birthday Continued~~Movie and Lunch

After "their" moment the girls ~Lola and Sadie~ meet up with about 20 more besties for the summer movie Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs where they laughed so hard the cried.

Once the movie ended the girls snuck out and shared a girlie lunch at Stevie B's where they chowed down on pizza like grown men and cleaned house in the game room like professional carnies :)

Memories of GA~ Visiting Friends in NC

While in Georgia we took a little side trip to N.C. to see some old friends: John and Tracy.

They recently moved to N.C. and it had been far too long since we've seen them, so long in fact, they hadn't met any of our many children.

After an amazing lunch John & Tracy led our troop on a breathtaking hike through their property.

Nature books in hand

on the lookout for for birds, animals and plants

off we went...


over a bridge

and magnificent creek

MAGNIFICENT!

Breathtaking views

Perfect photo opps

Our fearless leader
taking us on a detour~Down hill
and then back UP

Back home for a private concert

Then a private lesson

John and Tracy we had SOOOOOO much fun with you all! Thanks for an amazing day.
Our family can not wait to see you again...SOON!
