Madd Max Does Projects

But first, the story of the crow who stole the other bird's eggs from the nest, as told by Clara.

Jess brought a project to work on with each of her nieces and nephew.  Sonia was ready right after breakfast.

Which is also when Mimi and Dozee arrived.

Working away with fam hanging out in the background.

Bunnies!

Jess had planned to shower after bunnies.  Clara did not agree with the timing.

Necklaces!

And more fam!

Some serious discussion about sharing the scissors on Dozee's Swiss Army knife.

Madd Max Has A Late Night Arrival

Getting into NJ around 11pm, where Aiden was still waiting up (and hiding in the dark, dark bushes).  Jess sent this photo to Maddie who has been having serious FOMO, along with desperately wanting to see family.  Her reply: DO NOT MOCK ME.

Mimi Heads Out

But not without one last meal - blueberry french toast.

Yum.

We love you, Mimi/Mom.

Madd Max Enjoy A Last Dinner

Al fresco.

With these Mimi desserts - whipped cream and strawberries in a glazed donut.

Madd Max Takes Mimi To Zuma

For some hole digging.

And some swimming.

Some really cold swimming.

Ta-da!

Lucky Mimi even got to enjoy some Islands car takeout.

Madd Max Has More Reunions

Maddie wakes up to a Mimi - a Mimi she was taller then.

And to whom she showed off her piano skillz.

Taisie came over for a brunch.

And Sam showed off his pizza oven and pizza oven skillz.

Madd Max Finally Sees Mimi

Mimi flew in at 10pm.  Max waited up to see her.

Jess was equally as overjoyed.

This is everything.
