If you are a committed reader of our blog then you should remember Sadie's predetermined BFF, Briz (See here, here, and here).
The friendship really hit its stride last week when the Cottles were in town.
Can you tell the girls are holding hands in this picture?
Well they are. And it was adorable. Almost as awesome as Briz' tan lines.
The first time we got together they bonded over eating a clothing-optional dinner.
When toddlers eat pasta the clothing has to come off.
This may be good advice for adults too.
The girls ran around the house together, occasionally fighting or sharing, just feeling each other out a little. It had been a whole year since they saw each other.
Next, we hit up the Scera pool.
Sadie insisted on going down this kiddie water slide immediately. Unfortunately, Brizzy did not share the same affection for the slide. Sadie was constantly trying to get Briz to come on it with her. She'd cup her hand and put it out for Briz to hold and say in the squeakiest voice " 'mon Bizzy"
But Sadie soon set her sights on the big slide. I could not dissuade her so here she is coming down with Sierra (Brizzy's aunt). After 3 trips down I convinced her to go back to the kiddie area.
Then it was snacktime, poolside
Yes, that stroller behind Sadie contained Elise, who laid quietly in her stroller- AWAKE- the entire 3 hours we were there
Second child syndrome (getting ignored/less attention) is in full force
The best moment of the day was when this shark washed up on the shore.
Sadie had been asking for this "shawk" the entire afternoon and when it's owners let it go we took full advantage.
Click on this picture. It is one of the cutest pictures ever.
Another day we went swimming up at Daybreak. The girls held hands singing "Ring around the Rosy" for at least a 1/2 hour. They really bonded over a near-death experience together. Sadie followed Briz into deeper water, which resulted in Briz just swimming back to shallow water and Sadie freaking out. It was actually pretty funny- only because Sadie was wearing a puddle jumper so she was completely fine, floating with her face totally above the water and screaming.
Sadie loved the afternoon. She cried for 10 minutes on the way home.
Brizzy, some day we'll come visit on your turf.
Thanks for coming to Utah 4 times in the past 2 years so we could see you!

Excellent post. I am not bias at all. One day, we can make a book of our blog posts (mine will be coming sometime in the near future) and prove to Sadie and Briz that they are best friends. It started with conception. I am probably coming to Utah around Thanksgiving time, so we can continue on with the forced BFF with babies part two.
What a fun day!!!
