Slappy Goes To The Philadephia Flower Show

Mimi took Sonia and Maddie down to Philly, where they stayed in an airbnb overnight.

So they could hit the flower show first thing in the am.

They did flower show crafts.

Maddie's flower crown.

Madd Max Is Lucky

What Jess gets to come home to after a long day of work - homemade pizza and a passion fruit daiquiri made with the passion fruit and the pizza oven in the backyard.

Slappy Is Drama

Oh, to live in warm LA, and be forced to enjoy the outdoors on a regular basis.  Her snowed in East Coast relatives will never understand.

Madd Max Hangs With Chase

Who loves to stop and smell the flowers.

And made friends at the park with this little dude with whom he shared his goldfish.

Merri had everyone over for dinner and a show.

The first episode of The Last Thing He Told Me S2. Pictured here, a whole bunch of people who made that show happen.

Coffee cake and Sam's breakfast burritos. 

How does one bring a good wine home if the cork is lost?

 

Thanks for another fab weekend.

Madd Max Has A Last Dinner

Steve prepped his very fancy pork sandwiches.

It required total focus. 

 

Audrey helped prep the coffee cake for tomorrow morning. 

The evening rounded out with some gameplay.

Game winning duo.

Who entertained the crew.

Madd Max Has An Arrival

As the sun set. 

Izze arrived after running a half marathon.

Just in time for the family photo. 

This time with roses.

The hiking crew.

More vibes.

Seth made some chili.

It was well received, along with the Findley's chicken.

 

As were the cosmos.

 

Enjoying the fruits of Seth's labor.

Post-dinner puzzling.

Solid focus.

And of course, some couch cuddling.

Madd Max Has A Big Bear Day

Foosball.

 Sofa reading.

On all couches. 

And of course, pool.

Madd Max Has A Big Bear Morning

 

Cinnamon rolls by Sam and lowcountry casserole for breakfast. 

 

While Elizabeth worked in the addendum kitchen, prepping her pesto focaccia. 

 

Maddie and Seth joined to hang and show off some of the many computers that Seth has been installing Linux on.

Men fixing fire.

To make this relaxing even better.

Steve prepped tomorrow's dinner.  These things take time.

While Alex provided today's lunch - veggie chowder.

And the Williams provided the sandwich bar.
