Pre-Homecoming

Sadie, Helena and I headed into Hanover this morning to see what was going on before Homecoming Weekend starts tonight. We watched them building the bonfire.

Sadie would have watched indefinitely, but it was cool out, so after a while, we went and got some lunch. I decided to take the girls to the Hop, which was our favorite campus lunch spot back in the day. Nell slept through lunch, but Sadie had a great time eating with the "college teenagers". I let her get chocolate milk as a treat.

After lunch, we went to the Hood Museum. They had a family guide with pictures we needed to find and Sadie had a great time finding all of them. They also had some pencils and paper out to sketch with. Sadie drew "that naked baby with no diaper" (it was a renaissance Madonna and Child, and she was right; baby Jesus was not wearing a diaper).

We went outside to play on the X Delta, a moving sculpture.

And finally, we came back home!

You "guys" always seem to find such fun things to do together. How lucky you are to live close to your college community. Thanks for sharing the nice pics and the narrative that went along with it.

Heh, the naked baby with no diaper makes me laugh. They notice everything right now dont they?
