Close encounters of the 1st and 2nd kind

It wouldn't be a complete Roswell experience without some close encounters. We've spent a good deal of time on the road and a great way to pass that time is to talk. Trust us, you really can't fathom the subjects covered mile after mile. Often things get played off of one another. Sometimes we solve the world's difficulties. Sometimes we develop new inventions, like comtemplating Bill Gates' proposition about toilets in third world countries. Sometimes we talk about the classroom, Chris' and Jessica's. Along the way, we bounced off Roswell things. Chris wanted to do "something" to inspire the kids. So we created a UFO game the family could play. What would a UFO game be without foil head coverings to block waves? A trip to the dollar store yielded two frisbees, 2 packs of glow sticks, a roll of tape and a roll of foil. Memories were absolutely priceless. Chris taught the kids why people wear foil or aluminum when they're concerned about little green men. We taped his presentation for his Physics class. We were met with fun that night. We had encounters of the first and second kind. We even stayed at a hotel that had a big, glowing alien in front.
