Jurassic Tennis


We started out today watching Jurassic Tennis, and I was so happy to see it finally get done.  We'v even waiting for our new series "Lost World" to start, and one of the ideas we had early on was Jurassic Tennis.


Having seen "Jurassic Park" a squillion times, of course I remember the screen with "Jurassic Tennis" on it.  And of course someone else involved with "Jurassic World" remembered that screen too, and there's a reference to Jurassic Tennis in that movie as well.  And again, we ask the question, "What is Jurassic Tennis?" 



That answer came in the form of three contestants wearing inflatable dinosaur costumes.  It was three matches, and the battle was simple:  hit as many tennis balls over the net into your opponent's side, using  your tennis racket, while in your dinosaur costume.  Whoever had the least tennis balls on their side at the end was the winner.  It was super fun, and it reminded me of the old days, watching KidPak online only, as if we're all still quarantined.  Which, I guess we technically are...


Anyway, we kept with the dinosaur theme, and today we finished watching "Camp Cretaceous" season three, and now we're all wishing season four was out there because it's been fun to watch.  The end of this series has been one of those things where we kept saying, "one more episode."  And we said it three times, watching four in a row until we were done with it.  It was a dinosaur binge, and it was good.



I dropped Maddie off at FC Youth, and they're still on their "Y2K" theme.  Next week, they're all dressing up as if they're in the first part of the 2000's.  I think that could be anything from "Napoleon Dynamite."  I might break out my "Vote for Pedro" shirt.  Anyway, they were reading about Paul again, and about the end of things, and the start of new things.  Like Y2K itself, but also about how God moves us from one thing to the next.   She's really enjoying the series.


We got home tonight, and we read of course.  And we prayed.  We're ready to be over this illness, but it takes time.  We're ready to move on to the next thing, right?
