We had a quick dinner at IN-N-OUT in Kingman. On the bus, we're watching Star Wars episodes 1, 2 and 3, and tomorrow we're watching 4, 5 and 6 to make the time fly. Right now we're crossing the Mojave desert to our overnight destination: Barstow, CA.
The kids are excited to see their parents tomorrow!
July 2 - DAY EIGHT
We are on the way home! Our Star Wars marathon continues and the boys are excited to be coming home. Huge thanks to our amazing tour staff - Mr. Fox, Ms. Roy, Mrs. McIlvane, Mr. Gustafson, and Mr. Gottleib. We're so lucky to have Mr. Lee, our tour bus driver, who hasmade our journey possible. (He set out three days before TV!). Our itinerary was ambitious and our ability to pack in so many amazing experiences is because of his expertise. The boys' travel skills have grown as much as their singing, as we checked in and out of our hotel with record efficiency and maturity.
I've posted some pictures and sound files from our last concert on this blog. And you can check Facebook as well for updates.

We said goodbye to Mr. Fox and Ms. Roy, who headed back to Oakland to get ready for the China tour that leaves Monday.
We are now leaded for the Grand Canyon! We are lucky because Mr. Lee, our amazing bus driver, has been to the canyon over 20 times.
Laura Goforth, a fantastically eloquent and engaging educator,held our groups attention for some detailed lectures on the formation of the canyon and how we can help preserve the ecosystem. (Thanks to Amy Mosley, who helped us get a ranger tour!) She took us on a short hike that afforded some stunning views, and no one fell in! We had lunch at a cafeteria and shopped for gifts, and then we started the journey back home.
