On our last full family day, we went bowling first in the morning. Everyone had a lot of fun!

Then we went to the Museum of Idaho. The exhibit was about guitars, and there was a section about the West.

I was just scrolling through my newsfeed, and then I found an album that Jerry uploaded of Harriman! So guess what? Blog updates! 

Before that, though, our students went to Art in the Park, an art festival on the Snake River. Then they went home and played Mario. 

After that, we got to Harriman, and did dutch oven dinner followed by night games and exploring!

Kazuki, Hiroko and Joan pose in front of a lake near our cabins!

Dutch oven dinner is a must when in the wilderness!

Everyone loves their meal!

Yesterday was a great day for everyone. First, we went to the PizzaPie Cafe, formerly Craigo's, where students made their own pizzas. No pictures there from me, sorry. But after that I was much better about pictures. Three host families got together for family time and decorated cakes! 

Mina concentrates on making the perfect frosting flower!

Chihiro's cake, where the main feature is fondant animals!

Riya and her cake!

Atsuko and her cake!

After that, we went to a barbecue where I realized that my camera has a video function for a reason! Then I realized that despite that fact, I can't upload videos here. Sad. Anyway, dancers came and showed our group some authentic tribal dances!

Then came a rodeo, where we got a backstage tour and saw everything from mutton busting to motocross! 

Again, most of what I took was videos I can't upload. Sorry everyone! Anyway, I can't believe we only have three more days with our students! I'll miss them!

Wednesday we took a bus to Lagoon for the day! We managed to get some of the Japanese (and my mother and I) our of their comfort zones with rides like Wicked and Colossus. Again, I didn't get a lot of pictures, but Luke did. Lots of thanks to him!

First of all, sorry for no updates for a while. This is the first morning our girls could sleep in and I hadn't gone to bed at midnight. Anyway, no pictures from me from Harriman--too busy having fun with everyone!Anyway, on Tuesday we left Harriman, and went to Mack's Inn for a float trip. And I personally didn't get pictures from the raft...but Luke was brave enough to bring his mobile phone and got a good picture of a few of us for Facebook.

From left to right: Chris, Rachel, Riya, A'maurie, Aoi, and Jerry.

Next we went to a Chukar's game, and again, these pictures are courtesy of Luke (and Peter, for one). Thanks guys!

Thanks for your patience regarding my updates!
