Madd Max Has A Big Bear Afternoon

Jess prepped Alex's veggie chowder.

Aarin needle felted cats.

Erin prepped some Chex Mix by the chowder.

While the Williams also spread out sandwich fixins'.

Steve called in from Chile.

And John held down the nap fort.

Madd Max Has A Big Bear Morning

Audrey has been interested in baking as long as Jess can remember.  This time, she helped make the coffee cake.

Girls eating bacon.

There were quite a few cave members that could not be with us.  Alex joined from the East Coast via facetime.

Upstairs, the kids all communally played Among Us.

On all sides of the room.

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.

The Scrapper Goes To A Kings Game

With his Dad.

Madd Max Makes Dumplings

At Jin and Sean's house.

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 Says Goodbye

To Sam's 2000 Civic, which still ran, just a little slower.
