St. Louis, MO with Francis and Faye

Trevor and Mommy flew into St. Louis, MO to kick-off our 3 weekish getaway. We specifically wanted to see Uncle Francis (Papa Steve's brother) and Aunt Faye since we didn't get to see them last summer when Grandma Hillins was sick and our flight to the Roslansky reunion was cancelled due to weather.  We had been anxiously awaiting our time to see them and it was just like Mommy hoped. 

 Trevor couldn't get enough of Faye!  They were best buddies.  He showed off all of his tricks and wanted her to play with him.  Trevor even chose her to cuddle when it was nap time! 

Sara's parents drove down to meet us in St. Louis which was super nice of them. We stayed at an Embassy Suites during our one night there and boy does Trevor take after his Mommy and Daddy by enjoying happy hour!  He ate more snacks and drinks than his Mommy!

That night he was a tired camper and had no trouble falling right to sleep.  What did the adults do while Trevor was sleeping?  We played the game 'left-right-center' (Faye consistently won it seemed) and had late night sandwiches and chips.  Almost felt like we were in college :)

The next day we headed back to Francis and Faye's where Uncle Francis made bubble solution for Trevor and showed him how to get the best bubbles using a fly swatter and fan.  Pretty clever! 

After lunch it was time to say 'see you next time' and we hit the road.   

We had planned to drive 3 hours to Kirksville, MO (where Sara went to undergrad) so she could see the campus and what not, but that would have added extra time to the already 8 hour car ride so she decided against it.  It was better to get to Papa Steve's and Nana Jeanne's house yet on Sunday night so we had all day Monday to play!  Can't believe we didn't take a picture of our most awesome traveler.  8 hours in the car....one stop for dinner (Steak-n-Shake - YUM!) and one other stop to fill up and go potty...and no ipad, iphone, or other technology used once!  Nana Jeanne sat in the back with him and had plenty of toys, books, and other activities on hand to keep him entertained the whole way!  They also had an old TV tray to use on top of his car seat which helped him keep his toys and books from falling.  So smart!
