Madd Max Get To Gamboa

On the jetway to our 1am flight.
Sibs reunited.
Cousins reunited and chillin.
True tropical hammock table tennis. 
Jess fondly remembered arriving in New Zealand to an incredible charcuterie.  It happened again.
 
Massive protests over a Canadian copper mine divided Panama physically in half, each side not being able to get their goods to the other.  Produce was one of the things that was not able to make it thru to our family's side and many grocery store's shelves were bare, except for cucumbers.  These small produce vans would come thru the neighborhood with a loud speaker, announcing what they had.
 
A look inside.
After lunch, fresh papaya along the back patio for the birds.
Where intermittent rainstorms were also enjoyed.

Madd Max Watch The Kings Game

 
After getting free tickets from donating blood (Sam successfully, Jess, unsuccessfully).
 
Sam and Max were two rows down - goal!
And much to our delight, Izzy and John had a surprise appearance on the scoreboard.

Madd Max Has A Friendsgiving

 But first, Tio Greg came to watch Max. The Cougars lost 3-2 in a tight game.
The friends, eating all the things - turkey, gravy, Adam's mandolined sweet potatoes, Adam's ham, mashed potatoes, dooner's (ie JT's) pancit, Holly's messy corn, green bean casserole and Arthur's challah bread.  This was prempted by whipped ricotta and whipped goat cheese with bacon jam and Morgan's smorgasbord of TJ's apps.
Lookit all those mens on a bench.
Kids table.
Hugs.
Holly's traditional passeggiata before dessert.
Dessert - Tio Greg's brownies, Erin's apple pie and a Costco pumpkin pie.

Slappy Has A Brunch

With Jess, to celebrate the end of the strike, at her choice, The Coral Cafe.

The Scrapper Celebrates Mia

Mia Lu, that is.
Who turned 15, and had a hangout.
