Inking up the roller
Rosy-cheeked Max
Out at Coyote Hills
Taking the other side of the loop
Taking a short break
A member of the clean plate club
Hanging out by mom and dad
Keeping an eye on Ruth
Chowing down
Waiting to depart
On the ferry
Ruth on the zebra
Switching up the animals
Attracting a crowd
Table in progress
Final prep in the kitchen
Chat #1, already in progress
Stuffed glassware
All wrapped up
Geeky blanket
Everyone expect poor Max
The assembled crowd
Lots of Eckels
Anne looks a bit dubious
Waiting for more presents
Let the carnage begin
Waiting to see what they draw
Happy Max
Marna explains the ins and outs of the house
Group shot #1
Group shot #2
Glare and smile
The whole crew
Ruth in hat
A little help with the toothpaste
Anne takes a turn
Arming up
And they're off
A relatively sedate Christmas-observed
Sitting down for the meal
Getting suspicious
A touch upset for a moment
Grab bag, in progress
Ruth takes her turn
Hawking the cash
The crew, arrayed as they should be
Everyone, including those now partially hidden
Unpacking the loot
Sitting down to the holiday meal
Cookie time
The whole gang
The whole gang, one with a fun hat
Prepping to open stockings
Stocking inspectors hard at work
The full crew
Synchronized unwrapping
The whole gang
Parental getaway
Watching another opening
Ready for the special gift
A little tickling
Learning of the full gift
The second round
The whole gang
Seven out of eight looking at the camera isn't too bad
Gathered in the rental house
Pizza dinner
The rowdies one row back
Under the bean
Missing a few teeth
Chatting after dinner
Orb-vision
Waiting for the streetcar
Swinging
Eating from rectangular plates
The gang (minus the sleeping Ruth)
Checking out the action on the street
Turning attention back inside
Wading off Coronado
Ready for food
The whole lineup
Ever so slightly goofier
Checking out the fancy 3D printer
Prepping to hit the trail
Sprinting ahead
Near our turn-around point
Slightly less sunny
Hot but happy kids
Big smile from Max
Finishing the march
Oddly, the exit sign points to the top of the monument
Strolling around in the sun
The bikers approach!
Dismounting
Checking out the view
Ending almost in Mexico after starting in Canada
Triumphant finish
Disassembling the gear
Boarding the Skyfari
Squashing a penny
Mostly happy Max
Ready to chow down
Prepped to chomp
Everybody lined up
Post-dinner
Excited!
Waiting for lunch
Chomp
Finishing a sensible early lunch
Take 1
Take 2
Take 3
Take 4
Lucas and Anne's grand entrance
Everyone gets situated
Ring exchange
Bring out the Fruit by the Foot
Lucas begins his vows
More vows
A brief pause
Anne reads her vows
Consulting the script
Consuming the cord
Consuming the cord
Moving into a kiss...
Farewell fruit snack, hello married life
Bringing out the official documents
Anne takes her turn
Watching with anticipation
Anne wondering if she'd let Lucas do that to his hair again
Surveying the scene
Anne opens her gift
A loving, recently married neck pinch
Planning logisitics for the reception
The wedding party
They're already a little loopy
Bare feet on the bride...
Marital bliss
Explaining some of the subtler points of the ceremony
Checking out the handkerchief
Anne and Rachel
The Williams ladies
Couple and Anne's parents
Couple and Anne's parents, with flash
Couple and Lucas's parents
Lucas, Anne, and Anne's grandparents
All the kiddies
The newly married couple
Towering bride
Opening up the cake
The calm before the storm
Scheming
A serene slicing moment
The first dainty handful of cake
Blissful ignorance
The moment of realization
Down the hatch
Lucas returns the favor
Nice two-handed technique
The kiss just serves to further smear the cake
Basking in the red glow
Playing with the cats
Enjoying the shaded sun
Yummers
Time for some real cooking
Present intermission
Max being a big kid
Pulling cookies
The whole gang
Two seconds later
Grab bag time
Maisie being a bit shy
Time to steal?
Sharing the loot
Relaxing in a family pile
Pushing
Wandering the park
Staying clear of the dino
Tandem sliding preparations
Going for a solo slide
Homeowners in swanky new kitchen
Yard work, post-storm
Working the chopsticks
The whole gang
Me and my extended family
Lucas and Anne
North base
Ice cream break #1
Waiting for brunch
Group photo
Group photo
Dinner time
Living room dining
The whole gang
Just a touch silly
Munching on the bench
Sticking it out in the sun
The crowd gets ready to change
Waiting for the action
Posing at the fence
Anne looking pumped
Anne at the far end of the carnage
Silverware
The heart of the gift
D&E arrive
The largest dinner of the gathering
The full group
