The Sea Games

This morning we were off to do some socially distant filming at the church, shooting with several cameras the latest edition of "The Sea Games."

We had three families competing in front of the pool and fountains this morning, and already the sun was up and blazing.  But with a title like "The Sea Games," you know that things were bound to get a little wet!

Meanwhile, this morning Madison went off with Nana and Ye-Ye and did a lot of shopping!  They traveled over to Dawsonville Outlet Mall over there, which was sadly limiting customers and not that busy anyway, certainly considering it was a Saturday.  These crushing regulations.  This outlet mall was doing well too, this after watching it struggle early on to take off.

Madison got home and triumphantly was showing off all the new clothing that the grandparents got for her.  They had a nice time shopping, and Madison was rather happy with all the selections she made.  It was very generous of the grandparents.  Madison also got a pocket watch with Totoro on it, which is actually something pretty cool!

With the time travel theme upcoming, perhaps, we dug into our "Back to the Future" series with a viewing of the second movie of the trilogy.  You notice little things each time you see these.  This time I noticed that the henchman 3D is actually wearing 3D red and blue sunglasses in the Biff 1985.  And the "9" in the sky when Doc Brown disappears in the Delorean looks just like the "9" on the neon advertisement near the clock tower, which also reads "WESTERN AUTO," which makes sense, because Doc Brown just went to the Old West in his auto.  Anyway, it's a fun movie.  We'll catch the third one tomorrow.  

We saw a few episodes of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." tonight, and now they're back to the present time, or at least another present time, as the whole timeline got completely wonky.  It's so complicated, it's probably best not to overthink.  Just enjoy the ride, and don't worry about it.  Speaking of enjoying the ride, it's always good to see those Kree people go down.  They've underestimated the agents, and we all got to see how that didn't work out tonight.

Madison was doing algebra work today, partly as homework and partly in preparation for an upcoming quiz.   So there was a nice balance of going out to shop, doing some homework, and watching a few things with the parents.  We read tonight, both from the devotional and from the current adventures of Mara Jade.  This has been a good book - I've read it before, but completely forgotten the plot!  It's been fun though.

We said our prayers tonight for multiple people.  There's a lot going on.  I've had dreams about multiple tornadoes all around us, and that's always symbolic of trouble being stirred up, or major attacks here and there.  Simultaneously, and right after all this, I saw on the news that imagery of multiple tornadoes, or at least waterspouts, as many as ten of them off the coast of Louisiana.  And afterwards, we're seeing the forecast of two hurricanes simultaneously striking the Gulf of Mexico.  We're in some odd times right now, for sure.  We said our prayers for healing tonight, and for protection.
