This year we spent Thanksgiving in Tennessee with Grandma and Grandpa Ueland and Aunt Kelli. Overall the trip was great. We planned well and avoided the holiday crowds at the airports, and had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Ueland.
The weather in Tennessee was beautiful -- my dad and I actually played golf in shorts on the day before Thanksgiving -- not something that you would be able to do in Minnesota.
It was apparent that Gus was feeling under the weather (we later learned that he had been developing an ear infection), but nonetheless, he had a ball in Tennessee. He particularly enjoyed unsupervised play with Grandma and Grandpa.
One morning after Gus woke up at an absurdly early hour, my parents offered to watch Gus if Emily and I wanted to go back to bed for a little while. I think that we were tucking ourselves back in before the offer had been fully communicated. After an hour or two of rest, we woke up, and Emily fed Gus. I asked my parents how Gus had been and what they had done while we were sleeping.
"We had fun."
Ok.
Later on the trip, I picked up their digital camera, and found that they were telling the truth -- they had fun. I found many pictures of Gus posed in various places in their house. Some of which are below:
Gus with his new excersaucer -- Guster's new favorite toy!
Hangin' with Grandpa
Helping prepare the sweet potatoes?

Jailed.

I've just seen this entry. Great pictures, Linda and Carold. Especially liked the rocking chair, jailed and the photos with the light coming in the window. And I know Gus moves so fast, he's not always easy to photograph.
Thanks for your comments regarding the pictures, but as we all know Gus makes for an easy and fun photo subject. We also think he enjoys having his pictures taken - he's beoming a little ham for the camera. He knows when that picture is going to be taken.
