We want to send out a special thanks to Mover Rich of the Imagination Movers for recording a bumper for us. Speaking of moving your imagination, our kids have really been showing interest in the Sci-Fi theme lately. They pretend they are either astronauts in outer space or aliens from another world looking for a way to "phone home". Their story lines are out of this world! What type of stories do you create using your imagination?
