The day after Matt and Kari's nuptials, James and I walked over to Mom and Dad's hotel to have breakfast. We had breakfast there the day before, fancy and all, but expensive of course since it was a hotel. The four of us ate, I think we all started with cereal. James had TWO bowls of Fruit Loops, and when the bowl was left with floating tid bits and remaining milk, the waitress took it away without hesitation. James was shocked.
When she returned from the kitchen, James looked at her, put his arm up and did the "come here" motion with his entire hand instead of just his index finger. He said to her, "You took my bowl! I wanted my milk!" Oooh, too funny, we all cracked up. To appease him, she brought him another cereal bowl with more milk in the bottom for James to drink. Too funny.
Later, we took Mom and Dad to the airport for them to fly out to South Dakota and then we spent the remaining part of the day at Sam and Mary Ann's house for the "after" festivities. It was really nice to be able to talk to family after being so busy and distracted at the wedding and reception. We had a great time, with great conversations and great food. James and Will played all day together, and had a great time pretending to be firemen. The only negative part of Saturday was that we lost The King. OOOOOH NO. We looked and looked, but no The King. Poor kid.
We said our goodbyes to Kari and Matt to go home and pack for their honeymoon, and then it was time for us to go back to the hotel (now the Sheraton). James was really bummed to have to leave, so I bribed him. I told him... "We need to say goodbye to everyone and thank you, and then you can play with my phone on the way to the hotel." He took this literally and went up to every one, tapping them on the shoulder or arm and waving at them and telling them goodbye. Yes, everyone was giggling. It was so cute!
