Madd Max Trick-Or-Treats

The house by night.

The trick-or-treating crew: Val - Tuesday Addams, Ava - Briar Rose, Imani - Referee, Izzy - Ash from Sing, Audrey - Leopard, Max - Bush.

The big kids with the bush in vertical form.

There they go, sans adults, until Taisie realized Izzy was joining the big kids for a bit, then they became kids plus one adult.

Sam's fog.

Some of the great houses on the block.

This one had a little kid maze.

Max came back from trick-or-treating after only hitting one block because he wanted to do this.  He did know he was not allowed to scare the little kids, so for them, he became the bush who sat up and waved hi.

Checking out the spoils.

A successful evening for the adults and kids alike.

Madd Max Celebrate Halloween

The house by day.

Maddie gets a little help from Sam.

Max preps for the arrival of Ava who he is determined to surprise.

A finished Oompa-Loompa.

Her trick-or-treat crew, Kiley and Alyssa.

And back at home - this guy.

And this woman.

And finally - this candy, which the house actually ran out of after 139 kids.

Madd Max Gets A Halloween Arrangement

From Taisie and it's hilarious.

Madd Max Hits The Pumpkin Carving Party

Feldie's Annual Party.

The carving commences.

All over the Williams' backyard.

This is a knife.

This is wee pumpkin.

Ready for judgement.

Sam's brain pumpkin - top left - won first prize.

Second - Alex's view into the inside skull of a pumpkin - top row/second from left.

Third - Aarin's skeleton party - second row on the right.

More close-ups.

And even more.

The victors.

And a fabulous Severance by Kathleen and Eric.

Slappy Goes To Homecoming

And loved it even though she felt Burbank High didn't play a totally fair game.

The Scrapper Gets An After School Playdate

Since Jess ain't got no job.

Good pizza times with Mia and Imani.

Madd Max Has A Great Photo Collage

Lookit those years of friendship Françoise's phone put together.

Slappy Brunches At Café De Olla

Which she says has her favorite food of all the breakfast stops to date.

Madd Max Stop In Paso Robles

And the Ioniq hit 10,000 miles.

First stop, Robert Hall Winery.

For a wine and food pairing.

Next stop, Tobin James Cellars, where this happened 22 years ago.

It looked a lot different, unlike these two.

Who obviously look exactly the same.

(And yes, Jess did make Max shoot her the above photo from home so they could match it).

Not a bad way to end their road trip.

Madd Max Begins To Head Back

Coffee and a book by the river in the morning (along with some Lucky Charms).

Looks like Sam and Jess have already been here and left their mark on the patio railing.

A last waterfall - Big Sur's McWay Falls that tumble right onto the beach.

This was as close as you could get.

How hiking happened when Jess could convince Sam to hold her hand.

And the final hike - the Pacific Valley Bluff Trail.

Madd Max Have Dinner at Nepenthe

The view.

Very handsome.

Madd Max Head To Big Sur

A photo of a photo at the Pfieffer Falls Trail.

 

The photo.

Cool steps.

And another waterfall!

Sam's shot.  Again - much better.

A quick stop by our cabin at Ripplewood Resort.

Whose back patio was right on the Big Sur River.
