Being almost two, it is downright shocking that I have never been invited to another wedding. Earlier this summer, Mom and Dad went to a wedding down the street. But was I invited? No. I'm a big guy, I can attend weddings. I like to dance. I like to party. I like to drink (milk). I don't eat much. I don't need another place setting. Plus, I provide entertainment for guest during down moments and you won't have to kick me out at midnight when the party ends (I will have left already, I get sleepy). Overall, I'm a wedding host's dream - low cost, high entertainment. I should be invited to more weddings.
ATTENTION BLOG READERS: If you have a wedding or other happening party, and you don't invite me - I may be offended.**
** Note: I probably won't be offended if: I don't find out about the party, it starts after 7pm (my bedtime), Amelia isn't invited either,Mom and Dad aren't invited (wait, it will be more fun if they're not there), or it happens out of town (I am dependent on Mom and Dad to travel).
Back to the Billner Wedding... This was my first time to fly with Dad alone (usually mom is there). We got to the airport early only to face a long delay - fine by me, more time to watch the planes. We eventually landed and got to G-ma's and G-pa's around 12:30am. After all that flying, my arms were surely tired (phunny) and I did nothing but go to bed.
The next day was even more awesome, I got to play cars (with Uncle David's and Dad's old cars - fun), drive a Chug Along Choo Choo, play outside, pick some pears, meet some friends and family, have a jolly old time, and then spend the night at Nana and Papa's.
While Friday was relaxed and fun, Saturday was waaaay more busy. I woke up, had breakfast with Nana and Papa, jumped in Grandma's gray car, and went to the Botanical Gardens. We had tons of fun at the BG (as I call it). We went in the Climatron - a huge geodesic dome (I'm a big guy, I know big words now). There were tons of cool plants, flowers, trees, and things to grab. They even had a bridge and a tunnel! I love tunnels. After the Climatron, we got to dress up a panda bears and feed fish; but not at the same time. Dang, that would have been super cool.
All that fun Saturday morning wore me out. I went back to Grandma and Grandpa's and took like a 20 hour nap (or it felt like it). Then, it was time to get dressed and get to the wedding. After we got to Forest Park (not like my parks back home, this one was big and I didn't see any swings or a playground), my attention became solely focused on the big party bus! Dragging Dad along, we jumped on the bus and went for a ride. The bus was so cool. There were all sorts of people dressed up, flashing lights, a stripper pole, and a dance floor. Since we were going somewhere, I didn't get to dance..."later" Dad said. When we stopped, everyone jumped out and were taking pictures and signing stuff. So I just hung with my other Big Guy cousins and had fruit snacks and it was fun to hang with them. Wedding are certainly Saweet.
When the wedding party was done with their photos (sheesh guys, hurry up, there's a party bus waiting), we jumped back on the bus (I love buses) and returned to the wedding site. Luckily, the family saved us a spot up front, since I'm short and can't see over people's heads. Here I am posing with Dad.
It seemed that the wedding went on forever (like 20 minutes). Luckily, I brought cars to distract me. It was a lovely ceremony and an equally beautiful day. Yea to Brian and Stessie, but don't they know there is a super cool fountain down the hill and I want to go play? After the ceremony, Dad took me down to the fountain. I was able to meditate among the waves and changing lights - so peaceful.
After a bunch of food, lots of dancing, hugging cousins, playing cars, and hours of nighttime, I was exhausted. At like 10pm (11pm at home), I was so tired I finally let out this yawn. Against my interest of more dancing and more partying, Dad drove me home.
We had brunch the next day, picked some more pears, and wrapped my trip to STL with plenty of hugs and kisses (and a trip in first class - I'm flossy).

| Awesome, a party bus. I have pictures of the Super Purple Bendy Party Bus at home, but I've never been in one before. |
