This past weekend, I got to go on my first real “trip” of
any kind! It was my Daddy’s 30th
High School Reunion in his hometown of Enid, OK, and Big Brother Jake and I got
to tag along! Daddy was so excited about
this trip! He was on the planning
committee for the reunion, and he had worked really hard getting things together
for it. He even made the super cool name
badges that all the attendees got to wear!
Mommy was excited to – she got to spend the whole weekend with Daddy and
meet all these people he was always talking about!
The plan was for me and Jake to bunk at Grandma and Grandpa’s
house, while Mommy and Daddy got a hotel room in town. The girls were staying in Stillwater because
they had practices and games to go to.
So, after everyone got home from school on Friday afternoon, we headed
out! After we checked Mommy and Daddy in
to the hotel, Mommy, Daddy, Jake and I were off to find a parking place for the
Enid High School Homecoming Football game.
We ate dinner at a big tailgate outside the stadium, and I charmed
everyone in line, and tried to help Mommy and Daddy as they carried 3 plates of
food, drinks, and napkins, kept Jake from spilling things, and hold me! I’m so cute they didn’t even care! I ate some cheese and part of a bun while
sitting on top of the table. That was
FUN! Mommy told all those around us all
about me while Daddy passed out name tags.
I really had fun at the game, but I sure was glad when we left – I was
getting pretty sleepy from being so darn adorable! I met lots of new faces, and I even let a
couple of Daddy’s friends hold me for a few seconds! But, I always wanted to go back to Mommy.
After the game, Jake and I got dropped off at Grandma and Grandpa’s
so Mommy and Daddy could go to the bar with their friends. But, I didn’t want them to leave me! I didn’t realize when they left, but as soon
as I figured it out, I let everyone know I was *NOT* happy about it! After I screamed and carried on for about an
hour, Grandpa called Daddy and my wonderful parents came back home to “rescue”
me. I had fallen asleep, so they tucked
me in, and went back to the party.
Little did they know, I had a very restless night and woke Grandma and
Grandpa up A LOT! I just missed them so
much!
Mommy and Daddy came to get us boys for breakfast early the
next morning after spending the night in the hotel. I was SO happy to see them! And I loved breakfast at the high school and
the tour. Lots of new faces to smile and
coo at! Mommy got a little tired of carrying
me, but Daddy said the stroller would be hard to use because the school has a
lot of stairs. I was happy with Mommy carrying
me, anyway! After we left the high
school, I fell asleep in the car. I hear
they ordered some treats for my birthday party next week, whatever that
means! Later that afternoon, Daddy and
Jake went swimming, while Mommy and I napped at the hotel. I love naps with Mommy! *sigh*
But then, Mommy got up and took a shower, and Mommy and
Daddy put on fancy clothes. I knew
something wasn’t quite right here! They
took me and Big Brother back to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. This time, I let them leave again without
much fanfare. But once they were gone,
it was time to scream to get them to come back!
Daddy called to check in about an hour after they left, and after Mommy
heard I was upset, she came to get me. I
got to spend the rest of the night at this big fancy party at the Country Club with
lots of food, music and the OSU Football Game on a huge TV. It was AWESOME! Mommy fed me off her plate; I napped in her
arms, smiled for all the people, and really had a good time! Daddy said I was a “crasher” and Mommy put a
picture of my bottle with her wine glass in Instagram – but I don’t even know
what that’s all about!
After the party was over, they went to Grandma and Grandpa’s
to get my bed (Pack-N-Play), then took me to the hotel to sleep with them! JACKPOT!
I was SO happy! I went to sleep
in my bed, but I decided that was still too far away, so I cried until Mommy
put me in bed with her. I rewarded her
by filling my diaper at some point during the night, so when she woke up, my
stinky bottom was in her face. But when
I woke up, I was just SO GLAD to see Mommy and Daddy right there with me!
We went back home to Stillwater after picking Jake up from
Grandma and Grandpa’s Sunday morning. I
guess he was asleep when Mommy and Daddy got my bed, because the first thing he
said that morning was, “What happened to Finn and his bed!??!” He had no idea I was lucky enough to be with
Mommy and Daddy! I hope I didn’t make
him jealous! I was so glad to be home
Sunday afternoon and to see my Sisters.
I had missed them over the weekend!
But I am sure glad I have Mommy and Daddy so wrapped around my finger
and so well trained. They kept me happy
all weekend, AND I got to go to some fun parties and meet new people. Thanks for being so nice to me, Enid High
Class of 1982! See you in 10 years!
Love,
Finn
