Madd Max Vaca Kender Style

Lucky Charms for breakfast (the one place Jess was allowed to have them).

Beach time in the morning.

With Uncle Ant as the sole water immerser.

What would be the only attempt at boogie boarding by Max, after watching Aiden go under on the next ride.

Boy cousin power - here they are taunting the waves.

An Aunt Tara and Sonia cuddle.

Later in the afternoon - the beach again.

Girl cousin power!

Aunt Tara and Jess saw that the girls had matching outfits on their blogs - and yes - this was planned.

Pizza by the Bay.

Yummy pizza.

And a ride home for Aunt Tara.

Madd Max Head To Fire Island

Plane project!

Ferry!

Wagon of Cousins!

Dozey power!

Welcome!

Madd Max Judges Top Chef

 Remember this?

 Well, it was for this.

 A Yo Gabba Gabba Heaven for the kids.  A Top Chef Masters Heaven for the adults.

The food was not so yummy in her tummy, but it was in Jess'.

Slappy Has Back To School Night

 Her parent's first - where they got to see her desk.

 Or rather, sit at her desk.

 Mrs. Wood had left post-its on every desk for the parents to write a note for their child.  She said they usually kept them in their desks all year long.

Madd Max Get A Trampoline

From the Panama crew, and it was a huge hit.

Madd Max Hikes

 In San Rafael, after a followup hearing test (she is back to pre-surgery levels).

Throwing stones.

 Skipping stones.

 Dropping stones from the bridge.

BBQ in the backyard with fresh grapes from the Vaziri-Higgins vine.  What!?!

Slappy Makes Mom Proud

This came home in her backpack.

The huge amount of pride Jess felt from this note was inversely related to it's teeny size.
