Grover Goes To Neosho

"Sunny days had swept the clouds away, and we were all on our way to where the air was sweet." Well, at least where the cake was anyway. Last weekend, the Bladcox Gang loaded up and headed to Neosho,MO for our friend Charly's wedding. What seemed like an innocent ride in a car seat, turned a little risque for a blue stuffed toy. According to our good friend, Grover, "What happens in Neosho...stays in Neosho!"
And so the party began...

Grover "Gets His Freak On" with Missy Elliott before the wedding.

"Hey, Grover is mine!"

The Bride and Groom aren't the only ones taking family pics at the reception.
Maybe one day our baby won't be blue. I'm hoping for pink instead. Hmmm... Did someone say Cake?

All that cake has made Grover thirsty. Brewsky anyone?
Once the keg was tapped out, Grover made friends with good 'ole Andre. French for YUMMY!

Congratulations Charly! We love ya girl.

On his way back to the hotel after the reception, Grover decided to stop in at Wyandotte's Famous Turtle Stop. Not only does it offer the finest fried burritos and caffeinated drinks galore, it was also The Bride's workplace before moving to the BIG CITY.

Mr. Suave that he is, and still livin' it large from his reception binge, Grover flirts with the cashier to get a peek behind the counter. I'm pretty sure he used his favorite line, "Hey Baby, wanna be with something warm, fuzzy, and blue all over?"
After conning his way behind the counter, Grover grabbed some quick cash out of the register and headed to the Turtle Stop Casino next door. He bet all he had ($1) on one round of the slots. With no return, Grover headed back to the hotel to crash.
After all the drinking and gambling, Grover wasn't feeling so well.
"Ugh, Big Bird has always warned me, 'Beer before liquor, never been sicker.'"After a long sick night, Grover has some coffee and aspirin at the continental buffet. He had to pass on the waffles and biscuits and gravy. Feeling better though, Grover stopped off on his way back to his home state for a quick pic.

Needing a little something in his tummy for the rest of the day, Grover stopped at the former largest McDonald's in the world, the Glasshouse in Vinita. Grover loves him some McD. Southwest Chicken Salad. He feels lucky that he lives in one of the only two states that still offers them.

After lunch, Grover needed a little recoup time. So he slept off his hangover in the van while the rest of his traveling buddies roamed around Utica Square for a non-purchasing shopping spree.A good time was had by all, including Grover. Stay tuned in the future for Grover's next adventures. Grover and his friend, Fraggle, may have to take a little trip to Vegas.
