Clarion Hotel Sports Complex Kansas City

Our next stop is to Kansas City, Kansas where we will be visiting Daniel (brother) and Ricky (brother) and the rest of their family. The drive from Wichita was very quick since we had a tail wind to the car. Daniel lives in Shawnee, which is a suburb just outside of Kansas City. We will be hanging out with his family the most, his wife Renee and sons Tai and ...

When Brett sets his mind, it is impossible to get him off track. Such is the case to the end of this trip. The trip was over in his mind when we left Moab. It was time to go home. Go home is what we did for the next 20 hours. The kids, grandma, and I ate dinner and slept as Brett ...

So the Journey begins! The day of travle is here and we awake to Jackson tapping us on the shoulder....."Guess what today is...it's NEW ZEALAND day" Couldn't be more excited!

SB was her usual stressed self on the day of travel, and other than ME leaving my laptop in the terminal in KC (I did rememer it half way down the jetway...) we figured it was better than leaving a child behind!

Packed pretty light, all ...

Last night I got the last of my supplies packed in the bags, got the bags weighed, rearranged, and packed and weighed again. I think I am at 49 and 47 lbs each on the checked bags and will top out my carry on with 40lbs and then cram whatever is left into a backpack. I will be hauling more than my weight in luggage so I hope we don't have to run through any airports! Who knew a couple of ounces here and there can make such a difference?!

... you can purchase as well as roast and sell local coffee which I hear is very good (but should be dilluted!)

I'm slowly but surely getting everything together and ready to pack, I'll have some helpers on Sunday that will help me unpackage everything and get my supplies bags packed so that will be good to have done. Our dog Sebastian gets nervous when he sees luggage being packed so he's probably in for a wild week :)

... to share with her!

I can't say enough how excited I am to be able to participate in something like this, my family and friends have been so supportive and I couldn't begin to think of doing something like this without that! Especially my husband John who has been so supportive and appropriately concerned throughout all of the preparations- I hope he doesn't give my side of the bed to the dog permanently!

... 8217;s bagpipes are without the pipes or stick-like pieces on the bagpipe. Those sounds are being provided by Andy Unsworth on the Rogers organ that is traveling with us on tour.

There is a story behind every member of the Orchestra and Choir. Each brings something unique to the organization. And because of these talents and gifts, our concert in Kansas City was a hit.

On the buses we will go for a 5 hour trip to Oklahoma City!

... to leave, but after spending nearly all of our remaining cash and coin playing Galaga on one of their many arcade machines (including Ms. Pacman) next to the bar, Kelly said it was time to go. We caught the bus home at 8th and Grand after having a "what can our useless mayor do to help you?" summit at the bus stop with Thomas and Kevin, who were both heading back to their homes under local bridges. Another guy at the bus stop asked if he could call me. It was an ...

... what they saw out west. I know it's hard for kids but I believe they really liked experiencing nature. It's my hope that they will grow to love God's awesome paintbrush more and more. Looks like the temps should drop a bit for the wagon, certainly will here in NY. High temp Sat. forcast to be 67" HoooooooRahhhhhhhh! Peace out Heem
