Max loves GRAMS!

As much as I wanted to live in denial, the fact that my 10 year HS reunion was held over the 4th of July weekend in Eagar, AZ was proof enough that I am indeed old, well older than I used to be. Ryan and I decided to make a vacation of sorts out of it and go to New Mexico first so that we all could spend some time with Gram.

There was no way that we were going to be 4 hours from Gram and not stop in for a few days. We were so glad that we did. It was nice to have her all to ourselves for two days. Max acclimated himself very well to Gram's house and especially all her trinkets. He was in heaven with all that room to run around in. It didn't take him too long to warm up to Gram. She figured him out pretty quickly; all you have to do to be friends with Max is take him outside or take him to see a dog. Max loved throwing bread and marshmallows to Gram's dog Sadie each night. Gram of course was the perfect hostess and made her special breakfasts and burritos for Ryan and I. We were so glad that we got to spend some time visiting with Aunt Jo and with WC who had just drove in from San Diego for the 4th.

We also got to take Max to the cemetery to see Dad's grave. Although we were only there for a short time, it meant so much to me to be with extended family and to have Max get some one on one time with his great-Gram.Max & Mommy at my Dad's grave
