UFO's and Ticklish Babies

So we've slacked with the blogs. Like everyone, we're busy. Whatcha gonna do? We cruised down to Texas last week to visit Candice's brother and his wife, Jonny and Kaylene.

Clearly, this beautiful little family are the stars of Lubbock Texas. They were the perfect hosts. Each morning we were awakened by the succulent smells of healthy, homemade breakfasts that tasted amazing. We then worked our buns off doing a new workout program called P90x. It was a great workout you can do at home and judging by their svelte/muscular physiques, I'd say it works.

We got some Japanese take-out, consisting of some teppanyaki steak and lobster and a bunch of sushi. Good stuff.

Laila, was in full effect. Cutest thing ever. I liked it because I think she liked me better than Candice. This never happens, bless her little heart.

We even got to bathe her. One of the highlights for sure.

Like many things in life you think you're prepared for a certain moment until you get there and find you're totally blown away. The Enchanted Forest is just such an experience.

It's a game filled with wonder and gnomes. Not so much a game as much as it is a lifestyle. Like a near death experience I have a hard time explaining it's complexities and nuances. If you feel like something is lacking in your life, I'd like to personally invite you to step into the Forest.

Jonny, Kaylene and Laila it sucks we live so far apart. I'd like to cast my vote in for Colorado as possible move locations after you've exhausted the fine town of Lubbock. Much love.

We kinda went out of our way to experience Roswell, NM on the way home.

Bigger than I thought, this little town consists of a military base and alien themed everything. Don't believe me?

We also visited the UFO museum and research center. It was here that the story of the Roswell incident was laid out for us in mind numbing detail. They had affidavits, time lines, original radio broadcasts and dioramas, yes, dioramas!

After having scoured and sorted the mountain of information presented I personally feel like there was indeed a government cover-up at Roswell. Without going into all the details, I think that the wreckage recovered was probably from a government top-secret balloon project intended to detect weapons fired at the U.S. from the USSR. With that said, there may have been an alien crash there. Many original witnesses went to their graves insisting they saw alien wreckage and bodies.

Interesting/dorky stuff I know, did I mention we have a DVR full of X-files? The museum was predictably filled with long hairs. In this picture, two long hairs appear to be posing as some sort of devil and angel on my shoulders. Coincidence? you decide.The scariest things we saw in Roswell were these denim shirts embroidered with alien images.

After seeing and reading all this interesting and insightful information, I know what you're thinking, "why are you wearing the same outfit the whole weekend?" I'll let you ponder that until next time.
