Madd Max Says Goodbye

Some breakfast waffles.

Some kitten tea.

A last look at the cottage, where the fam always stayed when visiting.

And a last goodbye to the house - the place that both made Maddie always look forward to her doctor's visits even when she was still terrified of the doctor, and the place where many, many good memories were made.

Next time - Santa Fe!

And back on the road.

Madd Max Take A Hike

With a view.

And rattlesnake tails.

This tree looked like it had a rhino face.

Tre cool.

Walking the path to lunch.

If you look closely, you can see San Fran in the background.

If there is a rock, it must be climbed.

The whole gang.

Back at home, some cherry picking in the backyard (some of which Jess took for the ride back the next day).

And a final Persian meal, which Kears and Todd first introduced us to 20 years ago.

Madd Max Round Out Their Day

With some boba made by Maya.

Some buds with backwards hoodies filled with kittens.

Grilled veggies by Todd.

Some type of game in the backyard.

And a family dinner al fresco.

Madd Max Hit Muffin Mania

The local coffee shop, where Jess and Maddie would go every morning before heading to Dr. Roberson.

Game time.

Complete with kittens.

Mini golf on a perfect day.

The adults got in on it too.

Awesome.

Madd Max Arrive In San Rafael For The Last Time

The Higgins-Vaziri family are moving to Santa Fe.  Which meant a last San Raf visit was in order; this time with foster kittens in tow.

Kittens need potty breaks on long drives too.

Arrival at the kids' suite.

Suite of kids.

Complete with charging station.

Madd Max Celebrate The End Of An Entire School Year Of Distance Learning

With some frozen yogurt.  Please note the massive quantity of frozen yogurt.  Jess sent them into the store while she watched their bikes, with a, "Take the smaller container.  I trust you!"  

Yup. 

The Scrapper Has An Optical Illusion

2 kittens.  Same size?

 

Madd Max Makes Introductions

Uno and McLovin get to see behind the bathroom door.  Check out them pupils.

One step closer.

Even closer.

It turns out McLovin HATES the kittens, but Uno is fascinated by them, perhaps even seeing them as small, interesting friends?  Here she is getting close on Day 1 of Intros, while they were sleeping.  She has continued to be so interested that she insists on staying in the bedroom with them every day.

Madd Max Kitten Cuddles

Bed cuddling.

Distance learning cuddling.

Madd Max Settles In

With the foster kittens being kept in the master bathroom, more comfy accommodations were needed.

 

The kittens approved.

Madd Max Hangs With Cool Companions

Kitten playpen time.

Panama cousin game time.

Madd Max Gets More Foster Kittens

These two will be staying with us for about 3 weeks.

Cute.

There was a lot of this as the new arrivals need to be kept separate from the others until mid-week to make sure they are not passing on disease.

 

Even more cute.

Max came up with their temp names - Aneesa and Killa Kam, taken from cast members of The Challenge.  Living up to their names, they entered an elimination round.

Anessa shows off her heterochromatic eyes.
