Good Morning, World! This was my last full day in Dow. I’m going to miss hanging out with G/G Droste, AS, Marge and Oreo (the cat), but AS told me that she had a wonderful surprise for me today after I ate my breakfast. It was rice cereal and prunes today – thank goodness it was not millet again, especially since my new friends, Peggy and Don, told G’ma that hunters plant millet in wetlands to attract ducks – and I am NOT a duck!
It was a sunny day, but I was all bundled up because we headed outside for our adventure and it was freezing cold. AS kept checking some important information on her computer so there was definitely something special going on! I enjoyed another long ride in the car, then AS whisked me out of my seat and into this big noisy building. She was in such a hurry!
“Hey, wait a minute,” I said. “I’ve been here before. This is the St. Louis airport. Mom and I flew here last week. Hold your horses, AS, I’m not getting on any airplane again with my mom or dad!” AS wasn’t paying any attention to me – she just kept rushing around. Suddenly we stopped in the middle of the hallway and guess who was walking toward me with a huge smile on her face? It was mom! Dad wasn’t with her, but I was so happy anyway. Wow! We all just smiled and laughed and smiled some more. After we got mom, we headed back to Dow (mom sat in the backseat just to keep smiling at me!) where mom and I played and napped, then had my day two of cauliflower lunch.
I woke Mom with what she described as “really freaking” screaming. No, I wasn’t wet or hungry or poopy. My 2 new teeth were making my mouth hurt a lot. So, after lunch Mom, AS and I piled into the car again and headed to Walgreen’s for some Baby Orajel – that stuff really works!
Since we were out and about again, we stopped by the Great Godfrey maze again to see G’ma at work. She let Mom and me have a ride in the cute giraffe train. I got to ride all around the park and wave at everyone, just like big kids. Cool!
We left and drove to Great Uncle Michael and Great Aunt Karen’s house. I met them in July, but I don’t remember G.U. Michael being so silly. He really made me laugh and Aunt Karen is so nice. I think they were super, but I have to admit that I especially liked their little dog, Tess. She jumped all around to keep my attention – she was happy to meet me, too!
My final stop in of my whole vacation in Dow was to GG Droste’s and G.A. Jackie’s house. GG Droste is such a kind and friendly person. I really liked her (I think she likes me, too!). We took a bunch more pictures , visited with G.A. Debbie and her friend Steve, and then headed back to Dow for the night. I was starving and G’ma had cooked some yummy squash for me. Every time she stopped feeding me, I screamed because I was so hungry. I didn’t even want to stop for a drink of water! AS gave me a quick bath, then G’ma gave me my bottle and off to bed we went. I fell sound asleep. What an eventful last day in Dow – I’ve sure had fun, but I ready to head back home to Chicago tomorrow and see Dad and Nana and G’pa Yagan!
