Fun Weekend in Iowa

Mommy and Gus wanted to leave very early on Friday morning to head back to Iowa so daddy got up and helped get Gussie ready and pack up the car. This is a last minute hug and snuggle from daddy before we hit the road.

The car was packed full! It is a good thing daddy didn't come with us cause we didn't have any extra room. Here is Gus loaded up and glad for the quick stop at a rest area along the way.

We were able to get a great picture of Avery, Gus' cousin. Avery is Matt and Jen's youngest daughter. She got to play with Gus a bunch over the weekend, and boy did he have fun with her.

Josh's cousin Jill and her husband Corey have three boys. This is Chase, the youngest. He is just a few months older than Gus. Look at that H U G E smile! Adorable :)

Here are the two boys playing at Grandma's. Nama Paulette babysits for Chase, so Gus was happy to get to see him Friday afternoon before we headed to Cedar Falls to meet up with Aunt Lindsey and cousin Kennedy, and of course, Grandma Sue too.

Kennedy sure is getting old. Here she is showing off her new Halloween headband from Gus. Boy did she look cute!

A kiss from Kenny.

Gus taking a snoozer while Kennedy held him in the hotel room. We stayed at the Isle of Capri in Waterloo. And no, we were not very lucky... But it is was halfway between Grandma Sue's and Aunt Lindsey's, so it was a great place to meet.

Kennedy tried very hard to get Gus to fall asleep Friday night. She was such a good helper!

Wide awake.

Warming up in the hot tub.

Gus' first dip in a pool. It was so cold that I felt bad for the little guy, but he did great! He never screamed or cried, but he did have a very inquisitive look on his face when I put his feet and legs in the cold water.
