Madd Max Has A Happy Halloween

 

Brian dropped off some homemade Halloween cookies.

 

Max arrived home like this, saying, "I stole Tio Greg's joke - I'm a guy you can count on."

 

A shot for Sam (who was at work) to show him the fam is ready for the evening.

 

Prepping the fog.

 

Oscar arrived in costume.

The traditional Dominos pre-game.

 

Madd was a dogwalker, which apparently means you listen to Margaritaville on repeat.

 

The dogwalker for Audrey the Dog and Izzy the Cat.

 

Taisie, Auntie Jamie and John manned the rear.

 

Just some of the decor.

 

Jess wondered why she had never sorted candy by color before.

Madd Max Hike The Lake Sabrina to Blue Lake Trail

 

But first, Jess had breakfast in the communal room of the Guesthouse, complete with local coffee and a sticky bun from the bakery next door.

 

Lake Sabrina. 

Jess was not paying close attention to her All Trails app and they veered slightly off course, where they crossed this waterfall.

Which still had some ice on some of the fallen branches and on a lot of the crossing stones.  Sam found this out when he slipped off of them into the water - twice, only about an hour into the 4.5 hour hike.

There was even a tiny bit of snow along the way.

 

Lunch was had on these boulders that covered a running stream, and the call was made to head back before hitting Blue Lake due to time and effort.

Pretty place to dine.

Madd Max Heads To Bishop

 

Where fall was in full bloom at the Vons charging station.

Madd Max Have A Getty Community Day

 

Where Chase toddled the grounds.

 

And shiny Pokemon were caught.

 

Maddie's favorite class is AP European World History during which they discuss the art of different periods.  This has given her a new appreciation for art and she could not get enough of it, telling Jess all the details she had learned about different time periods' styles.

 

This crew spent their time outside.

Madd Max Goes To Homecoming

Max headed over to Ava's for a pre-party.

With Mia, Isabella, Ava and Val.

 

Madd got ready at home.

 

Where Super Dad stepped in when Alyssa's strap broke.

The parents, including Curtis, Rhiana and Matt, gamed and waited for updates at home.  Madd returned with her girls around 9:30.  Max returned around 11:45.
