Too Darn Loud

It was a big work day, but as you can see above, we had time for a little party tonight - it was a "Back to the Future" party our friend was hosting, where everyone could come dressed up as a character in the movie.  And rather than go with the obvious Doc Brown, Marty or Biff, we went the more obscure route for true Back to the Future Fans.  That's why Mommy above is dressed as "Jaws 19," and Madison is a girl from 1955, while Daddy is Huey Lewis' character, who holds a megaphone and tells Marty and the Pinheads, "I'm sorry, but you're just too darn loud."

We hadn't been over to their new house - it was down by Candler, so it was a little bit of a drive from our house.  But it was fun.  There were themed posters, plenty of food, and of course there was the movie "Back to the Future 2" playing in the background.  A fire was set up out back, where the kids could roast marshmallows, and our friend Javier came over to take pictures like the one above - and the one below too:

This is Madison with Camille, another 50's girl who showed up for the party.  And there were lots of costumes too, by the way.  There were a few Marty McFly's, a Doc Brown from the 1885 and a Clara Clayton as well.  And there were plenty of kids there as well, so Madison had fun simply running around with them for a bit.

The rest of the day was a bit of work, as we're wrapping up our Time Travel series this weekend with one final message, and one final drama.  The message is a simple one with a simple title (which is also the title of a song off the "Back to the Future" soundtrack):  "Heaven is One Step Away."  The theme of the weekend is "time is short," and the obvious thing to say here is that each day that passes by, this becomes more and more apparent.  Fortunately, we have plenty of friends to spend that time with!

Oh, and here's someone else we spent the morning with:

It's the Creepy Chiropractor.  We'll be interested to see how he dressed up for Halloween - he's always got some creative costume going.  Last year he was Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz."  Yes, our chiropractor is probably more interesting than yours...!
