Madd Max Arrives In Big Bear

Where they were greeted with this "Thank you for your preference" card. 

And the cupcakes underneath it (this is the Bear Cave's 4th time at Jackrabbit Ranch).

There was this fancy cheese plate spread waiting from Kathleen and Eric. 

Along with some pizza.

Please note, the equally as fancy crudite.

 

Sam brought powder.  Ask him about it.

Eric brought sass.

Aarin enjoyed a pineapple jalepeño margarita by Sam.

Erin enjoyed some white wine.

The evening rounded out with a very funny game of Horrible Therapist.  Kathleen's turn seen here.

Where they had prepped a true Chinese feast.

Learning to dumple with Brian and Andrew.

Delicious and quite fun!

Madd Max Has A Day With Chase

While his parents were at a Pokemon Con, Maddie and Jess took him to a childhood favorite, Kidspace. Chase did not want to climb this structure, so instead would stand at the bottom, and yell, "Maddie!" until she returned.

Chillaxing.

Chase's favorite spot because of all the balls.

 

Back at the house, a little Hogi while Jess took a break after remembering what having a toddler is like. 

 That face, though.

 

Next up, the park for the fan favorite of bleachers.

 

Followed by hockey time with "Mo Max".

Madd Max Go Skiing

A first for Madd Max.

Sam reacquainted himself with the sport. 

As Maddie learned it.  Max had a little bit of an easier time due to all the ice skating, which somehow translates? Both really enjoyed it.

 

Maya was sick, and stayed home with Jess and painted.

The Santa Fe sunsets are giving.
