The alarm started to go off at 4:00AM on Saturday morning. Much to my disappointment we had to get up. We were heading to St. Louis to visit Sara, Ryan, Bella and Aunt Lissy. My Mom, Dad, and Molly were also in St. Louis for a wedding. So Todd and I both got ready and then around 4:30AM got Carson up. We gave him a bath and put him in a cute outfit and then we were off to the airport.
By 8:30AM we were in St Louis and being picked up by Papa and Grandma. First we stopped by the Sedlak house. Todd got to meet and hold baby Bella. Todd holding a baby is just always too cute. Then we loaded up everyone and headed out for breakfast. Carson was not on his best behavior. See he really needed a nap but had no interest in one. He was a big hit with the girls at Chris’s Pancake House. Too bad he would not behave that way when he was with us.
After breakfast we hung out at Sara and Ryan’s. Then we all got brave and took a trip to Grant’s Farm. There was a long line of cars to get in but once we got in everyone enjoyed themselves. Bella was a champ. Carson was not as big of a champ. Once again he needed a nap but would not take one. One part he really enjoyed was the goats. He liked how they licked his fingers. He did not like it however when they nibbled on his fingers … not as much fun! After that he was not interested in the animals. It seems no matter how cute Carson looks in the morning he ends up looking a little white trash by the end of the day. Which by the time we left Grant’s Farm, Carson was looking a little white trash … dirty feet and all. Mommy and Daddy did enjoy the free beer and Bacardi drinks in the beer garden.
When we got back from Grant’s Farm we ordered pizza and hung out with the Sedlak’s and Molly. We were a pretty boring bunch. I think we all could have gone to bed by 8:00 if we could of. Put it this way … by 9:00 we were ALL watching Baby Einstein like it was a new blockbuster movie. Then Papa and Grandma came back from the wedding and added a little life to our party. Oh just so you know Carson did not take one nap on Saturday. He was so FUN to be around.
Once Lissy got back from the wedding we headed over to her cute place to spend the night. Everyone was in bed by 12:30. See Carson had to explore and destroy her place before he could go to bed. 5:30 rolled around and I hear Carson. So I got him up and went into the living room. After his bottle Carson, Lissy, and I all watched Morning Disney and waited for Todd to wake up.
Once we were ready Papa and Grandma came by to pick us up and take us to the City Diner for breakfast … Yummy! Carson got to try his first chocolate shake thanks to Papa. After that we went back to Sara’s to hang out a little bit before we had to head back to the airport. Carson slept the whole way home on the plane and was in bed by 8:00 Sunday. I think he was a little pooped out.
