Indiana Jones Party

Playing blog catch-up!

Let me introduce two of our more creative and adventurous friends: Hannah & Lars. (I love how excited they look in this picture.)



A few months ago we received the following invitation from said individuals and you can bet it resulted in an immediate R.S.V.P.



We started the evening in the library of Yale University. Yup, that's right. Didn't you know T.J. and I are professors at Yale? In our spare time. We were called there because a letter had arrived for us from a colleague who had been seeking the lost Artifacts of Life (Yes, our friends and colleagues really are just cool.)

The night just got crazy (fun) from there. Lars and Hannah had gone all out. We had handmade messenger bags to carry our flashlights, cell phones (in case we needed to call Jungle Tech support), and all the important material clues we picked up along our way. We found skeletons, crawled through bug-filled catacombs, visited a dig site where we decoded an inscription on broken pottery, trespassed on burial ground, faced Kinich in the Temple of Doom Light, and crept through the forest of darkness towards our ultimate goal! The chalice! The Holy Grail!

We might have set off a few booty traps...I think that made Hannah more happy than it really should have. But, hey, we found way more gold coins than anyone else! We might have been maimed but at least we had the money to pay the doctor bills. :D
