Amy and Elisa at Sadies 2013


The "homliest gal in all them hills," she grew up frantic waiting for suitors to come a-courtin.' When she reached the age of 35, still a spinster, her father was even more frantic--about Sadie living at home for the rest of her life. In desperation, he called together all the unmarried young men in Dogpatch and declared it "Sadie Hawkins Day."


An American folk Event, Sadie Hawkins day is a pseudo holiday originated in the comic strip Lil Abner.  This inspired the real-world dances where girls ask boys out.

Amy and her friends theme was Caveman! (courtney's mom made all the costumes--thanks wendy!!) Notice the bones tied in the girls' hair :)

earlier in the day the group went to Hee Haw Farms for some autumnal fun
