Madd Max Go On A Ghost Walk

After dinner, through the hotel grounds.

Stopping by unoccupied buildings.

And along the river.

Madd Max Has Family Dinner

The kids got their very own table with no adults, and amazingly took the responsibility very seriously.

Uncle Bill gives an opening speech.

Aunt Lu reads a letter from Emmy, the Smyth matriarch, to her kids, Bill, Whit, Theo, Chris and Linda, while a slide show of family photos plays in the background. 

After the kids dinner, they opened activity gifts, which even more amazingly, kept all of the kids quiet for longer than seemed possible.  Enough so, that the parents kept looking in to make sure that was what was really happening.  Also note, the brownies being served on the floor.

Madd Max Gets To Know Jekyll Island

The historical Jekyll Island Club Hotel.

The grounds covered in old trees and Spanish moss.

Amazing.

A very nervous Max who is standing on a high branch, pretending to be Abraham Lincoln.

Gwen's four leaf clover.

And the row of rocking chairs filled with cousins.

Madd Max Arrive In Georgia

To family at the bar.

And a late night swim in a warm, warm pool.

Madd Max Heads To Georgia

Good times with Dad at the airport.

The Scrapper Takes A Nap

On the bus, coming home from a field trip.  

Jess saw this pix posted on the board in his camp's classroom, along with the other kids who had also fallen asleep on camp outings.
