The girls went shopping one day during the visit and Yam brought home a unique lawn-art set. She bought it for The Colonel and I (mainly The Colonel I think...as he is the bigger Sci-Fi fan).
This is what she came home with...
The little crashed aliens and their spaceship were originally a faded blue-gray color and Yam painted them as you see them in the picture below. So cute!
I love the expressions on the aliens' faces. The male alien is quite puzzled as to how this crash has taken place and the female alien is ticked-off about the whole affair. Clearly she blames their situation solely on her co-space traveler (Her spouse maybe? Not sure how they pair-bond in outer space and what titles go with it...but looking at her expression, I would say they are a married couple).
The lilliputian aliens now call my rock garden their new home. Yam helped me find names for them. We went to a website that generates alien names. The male alien's name is Taran and the female is named Drazana.
Taran should have asked for directions.
