Wednesday afternoon we whisked away to start our anniversary weekend in New Mexico. We got picked up from the airport Wednesday evening by Uncle Mark and spent the evening catching up with family (Uncle Mark, Tia Sandi, Robyn and Isaac) and settling in. The following day we woke up and headed out to Grandma's house. Mia walked in first getting a few tears from her, and then I got to meet Grandma! With flowers in hand, for her of course, she hugged me with all the love of one of her own grandchildren. We sat down and looked at wedding pictures and relaxed. Grandpa came in and found a new person to re-tell his military career too :) After catching up, off we went to Great Grandma's house! She is a hoot, all 5 feet of her (Mia says that the Olona women shrink as they get older), she showed me all around the house, showed me all the pictures, knick knacks, furniture that was made by her husband and father, etc. It was a wealth of history and memories. After a quick visit there, off we went to lunch and the new Indian cultural center. All in all a wonderful day spent with the grandparents. Shortly after we sped back to Mark and Sandi's to ready for the evening special shapes Balloon glow, we lucked out because Tia Sandi's dad had a crew pass so we didn't have to wait in any lines, pay anything and then arrived right on the field. We quickly walked around to see as many shapes as we could and oohhhed and ahhhhed when they all lite up at the same time. Afterwards, we grabbed a few snacks (including a much deserved funnel cake) and watched the fireworks. Spectacular once again! We met up with Tia Sophie, Jeremey, Jenny and little Joshua for a quick second (enough time to engage in some lightsaber sword fighting action) and then headed home to start again the following morning!
