Grandpa and Grandma List are thrilled to see Priya again!
|
We were so happy that Uncle Mike could join us for the weekend!
|
|
|
The List Men pose for the camera
|
Priya definitely enjoys the attention from Grandpa!
|
|
|
Brothers behaving maturely
|
Greeting Smokey the Cat -- however, Priya kept signing "dog" everytime she saw Smokey -- apparently to her, the baby sign for dog includes all small furry animals
|
|
|
Uncle Mike dips Priya which she obviously loves
|
Getting ready to go out with adequate sun protection
|
|
|
"Look what I found!"
|
It's Smokey hiding under the rocking chair!
|
|
|
Uh-oh, Priya is hogging Grandpa's favorite chair

Priya on the trail through the Arboretum
|
Getting licked by a friendly puppy
|
|
|
Priya spotted this frog climbing the fence
|
Shefali captured a cute little sequence: Priya running,...
|
|
|
...falling...
|
and crying after her tumble
|
|
|
It's a turtle quilt! (Shefali collects miniature turtle figurines)
|
Daddy and Priya
|
|
|
Mommy and Priya
|
Walking through the Quilt Garden at the Arboretum
|
|
|
"Put that camera down and come get me, Mama!"
|
Smokey does not want to be left out of the Scrabble game
|
|
|
Priya found it quite exciting that Grandpa and Grandma's house wasn't exactly childproofed
|
Smiling deviously as Daddy removes her from the bookcase of goodies to grab
|
|
|
Now she's really upset at being denied access to all of the good stuff
|
Downtown Hendersonville is lined by all of these adorable bears -- here's one with an ice cream cone (and a monocle?)
|
|
|
Shefali liked this Mama and Baby Bear statue, sponsored by the local hospital
|
Walking past the Courthouse
|
|
|
Here's a dessert-themed bear that Priya liked...
|
...as did Grandpa and Grandpa List, too!
|
|
|
Priya enjoyed playing with these chimes outside the General Store
|
Grandpa and Priya share the big comfy chair

Here we are in Nashville with Uncle Dwijen before his college graduation
|
A Nashville institution, Rotier's, that serves cheeseburgers on French bread, milkshakes, and onion rings to die for
|
|
|
Priya gets escorted by Uncle and Dad
|
Dwijen nervously awaits the start of his graduation ceremony from Vandy

Dwijen the graduate poses with the quintessential Vanderbilt backdrop, Kirkland Hall's clocktower
|
Walking through campus...
|
|
|
...on the way to the Strawberries and Champagne Reception
|
This is when we discovered how much Priya likes strawberries!
|
|
|
Celebrating Dwijen's accomplishment at Morton's Steakhouse in downtown Nashville
|
Priya clearly had too much freedom in her booster seat (the restaurant didn't have a high chair)
|
|
|
The gorgeous interior to the Opryland Hotel
|
One of Shefali's best friends, Yasmine, comes to visit and to meet Priya for the first time
|
|
|
Yasmine and Priya sitting on our room's balcony overlooking the Atrium
|
This is Priya's first time in a pool!
|
|
|
"Swimming" around with Daddy
|
"This is SO MUCH fun!!!!"
|
|
|
Getting tickled by Mommy
|
Posing by the waterfall inside the Hotel
|
|
|
What appears to be a growth of vines along the brick wall...
|
...is actually a real live person (look closely!)...
|
|
|
...that then slithers over and wraps herself around the light pole!
|
We are about to take a boat ride through the Delta (inside Opryland Hotel)!
|
|
|
The balconies off in the distance are very reminiscent of New Orleans
|
Gazing at the waterfall from the boat
|
|
|
Here's a view of our boat from a bridge over the water
|
The fountain shoots up sky high under the glass dome
|
|
|
Goodbye Opryland and goodbye Nashville --- someday we'll be back!
