Frozen II


We went to the Port Orange theater to see "Frozen 2" today, mainly because Madison could wait no longer!  Here we got to pay an extra five dollars again just to reserve a seat, something we used to do for free at movie theaters by... arriving earlier?

Anyway, the movie itself was good.  I think the consensus with the three of us was that this one wasn't as good as the previous, but it was still a good movie.  It was certainly different and daring in some directions.  And of course, the visuals were astounding.  The animation is just a wonder to behold, something that transports you far and away to Scandinavia, and the other mythical places mentioned in this movie.  It was nice - we sat together in our usual spot in the back, munching on popcorn and enjoying another movie together.

While out, we stopped at the grocery store to pick up some food items for the condo, amongst them egg nog!  Yes, Daddy got his egg nog!  Lately, it has to be a lactose free egg nog, but they make that, and it's pretty decent.

Speaking of food items, we did have leftovers today, and the day after Thanksgiving, these are always so good.  Mommy was packing and getting us ready to go tomorrow, which is sad to think about because this was such a short trip.  But it was a good one.  We were sitting on the balcony, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, playing Scrabble and drinking hot tea.

Tonight we watched "Miracle on 34th Street" together, the original version, which was on Disney Plus.  We also enjoyed a few rounds of dominoes - Ba-Ba won three rounds in a row tonight, along with Mommy winning one.  That's okay for all the rest of us, who had fun just the same.  Dominoes is a tradition at the condo, and I think it will follow us wherever we all meet up together.

Inspired by "Frozen," we watched "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" tonight, this after Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortunate, which Madison was quite ready to watch all week long.  She loves these game shows, which is funny to see.  She'll even perk up a little when "The Price is Right" is on.  But Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune are her favorites, and they're fun to try and yell out answers to before the contestants do.  We get a good number of them, but it's easy to do that from your living room and not there with an audience and cameras looking at you.  I'm sure that's a whole different world when trying to make guesses before other people.  So we don't judge.  We just try to guess things, and it's fun to hear Madison guess correctly, or Nana and Madison call out the right answer at the same time. It's a fun little pastime.

Anyway, we were in bed earlier tonight, maybe because of all the turkey!  Regardless, we read from "The Horse and His Boy" again, and also from the devotional.  We said our prayers, and gave thanks for a wonderful week here.  Yes, again we have so much to be thankful for.
