The kids took some time to recreate this photo from early 2015.

Buds!

Madd Max Has Dinner

With Morgan and Jaymi.

Madd was put in charge of entertaining Avery.

Both kids said she was, "Very cute."  Maddie did comment later that taking care of children could be very tiring.

Madd Max Gets A Day Visit

From Maya and Dexter, who had slept over, after a late arrival the night before.

Kears gave Sam and Jess a major breakthrough on the puzzle they had been working on since Halloween.  It got finished that weekend.

Later, the kids played Mille Bornes.

While Todd gave Maddie some editing advice on her stop motion video.

Hiking in Acton.

Crafts.

And more of the view.

Slappy Has A Girl Scout Camp Day

Morning flag ceremony.

Games.

Group challenges - this one was how to get the cube to stay upright in a can without anyone touching it.  Then the girls had to all climb inside without it tipping.

Next challenge - how to get everyone onto a small wooden platform without touching the ground.  The girls figured out that if they laid sticks down on the ground some girls could place one foot on the platform and the other on the sticks - thereby not touching the ground.

Learning how to cook lasagna in a dutch oven.

Walking back the bunk house.

Maddie's favorite part of the experience - all of the camp songs at campfire (which was held inside because of winds but still had s'mores).

Their troop campfire skit.

Then a trip to A Noise Within Theatre to see one of Jess' favorite shows, Noises Off.

Taisie giving a Max face.

One mom with her kiddos and grand kiddos.

Waiting for the show to start.

The kids loved it - enough that Maddie made sure they hit the photo booth before they left.

At home, a Maddie-made dinner app.

The cars.

The excited kiddo.

His car - Boy Scout Fishing themed since he dug that Boy Scout field trip so much.

With Sam, who may have helped a little with the car.

One of his heats.

Madd Max Celebrates Toby's Birthday

Along with the traditional weekend In-n-Out, the traditional Page birthday cake.

Madd Max Heads To Santa Clarita

Where the food is always fusion.

And occasionally quite hilarious - "May the 4th be with you."
