While we were down their we mostly spent time visiting. The first day I like to help around the house and clean where it may be hard on my grandparents. Brenton is such a good helper! I obviously start them young... haha.
Our trip consisted of lots of playing for the kids. Brenton is a true Thorpe! A car always in hand no matter what! He drove those cars everywhere. You heard lots of "Broom Vroom! Vrrrrrrmmmmm!".
Brenton had a tag along everywhere he went in the house. My grandparents black weaner dog Oscar Obama Garcia! haha. (My grandpa just added Oscars new middle name is Obama! Not because he likes him but because hes black! haha.) Oscar wanted to watch and play with Brenton. They were good pals by the end of our week!
Savannah had lots of play time too in her johnny jump up! Boy does Savannah love to jump, sway, and twirl! She had this mastered at 5 months! haha.
This was Savannah's first time meeting her Great Grandparents! She has truly captured their hearts. Its safe to say that they are head over heels in love with our little sweetheart! Its hard to resist her sweet little smile! She can make anyone melt. We saw a bumper sticker down there that Alan wants to get.
"Guns don't kill people, Dads with pretty Daughters do!".
On Thursday we drove 3 hrs north to drop off Mallory at the Airport in Albuquerque. Also Mallory's 18th Birthday! So we found a Dunkin Donuts for Mallory!
After we dropped off Mallory. Alan was flying into that airport 3 hrs later. So to kill some time, I used my Christmas present from dad (a gps!) to find the Aquarium. This was the kids first time! Although it was much smaller scale compared to Boston. I was impressed for the middle of the dessert! Brenton loved it all! Next time we are there we will def go again! If we had more time we would have gone to the zoo as well. Maybe next time!
Another Highlight was going to the mexican restraunt, Los Marachis in downtown Mesilla. So yummy! We were able to go twice while down there. First time with Aunt Mallory and second time with Alan. Grandpas sister Angie and her husband Jim also joined us for dinner the second time around. Which happend to be Friday night. :) (Every friday Marachis sing while you eat!)
Brenton loved the spanish rice! We couldnt feed him fast enough so he took things apon himself. haha. He was a riot to watch!
Here is a video of Brenton eating his rice speaking in his own version of Spanish! Can you tell he likes it? haha.
Sadly it was time to go. We were going to leave Sat evening but ended up leaving after dinner on friday. We had a snow storm headed to Utah. So we really wanted didnt want to chance getting stuck in 2 wheel drive through the mountains. We ended up leaving at 10pm and got home at 11am the next morning. We are already looking forward to our next trip to New Mexico!
