Dawn, I can answer how you "got so lucky" - you have so much to offer that the world truly needs, and it was a match made in heaven that social media was developed enough to find you! Hope you have been having a wonderful, joyful time away, and I promise you have left us the tools to make our own joy in the interim!
@@TheMinimalMom She’s telling the truth. You’ve already prepared us to survive on our own for a few days. 😊 Thank you for understanding how our brains are wired and being willing to share that knowledge with us in a very easy to understand way! I have read quite a few organizational books and watched online videos on decluttering. For the first time, I am understanding the reasoning behind the method. It has touched me in my heart where I can remember it. Thank you Dawn!!
You are not ‘lucky,’ Dawn. Luck implies happenstance. You are BLESSED. God has intentionally blessed you because He loves you and you work very hard. 💝
"We WANT them to come on vacation with us!" Aww Tom, that's music to parents' ears! We took my mother-in-law on so many roads trips and vacations with us when our kids were growing up! What great memories we've all made. Now our oldest is married and she and her hubby are expecting their first baby in June. If they asked us to come on a vacation with them... my husband and I would jump for joy and trip over ourselves to get packed and out the door!! Living vicariously thru you guys since we both have jobs that cause us to stay put. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures and we can't wait to see more! ❤
When my parents were in their 80’s I would go on vacation with them and do all the driving. It was such a special time to spend together and we would have so much fun. They are both gone now and I look back on those vacation times with such fond memories.
This was such a pleasure to view! Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your little piece of heaven.😉 In a world that often seems dark, evil, and full of sin it is a joy to watch others love their families so well. And I feel Chris's love coming through every time you end a vlog with something along the lines of "I hope you have a great day, thanks for being here, and I love you!" It is good to hear and honestly I think you really mean it.💛 Blessings Dawn!
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if y'all saw the Loch Ness Monster lol. Y'all have such a beautiful life as a family. Thank you for sharing it with us and encouraging us to make more time for loved ones. God bless!
So glad to see you all having so much fun. Soak it in because you'll NEVER get this time back. My TWINS are now 32 so I really miss those fun times when they were little. So much giggling and laughing and lots of hugs. Now everyone is grown so it's just not the same 😔.
Zero judgment-none, zilch, nada-if Corbin didn’t like the outing! You provided a safe adventure and it’s ok if he wasn’t boiled over by it. As an adult, I’m trying to be ok with how I think and feel about things and find it so frustrating when people (in their own discomfort), try to talk me out of it, or worse, negate my experience. I’m trying to do the same with my kiddos, so kudos for the nudge to give it a try and kudos for letting him say he wasn’t won over (even if he was!)!
@@notavailable5911 I’m with you and totally agree. I guess I should have said “hushing” or telling them to stop crying. Which I don’t know that I agree with anymore. ☺️
@@arielleabel8718 I find it depends on what they are crying about. If they are for example crying because they are angry I will sit with them and explain how crying isn’t really the way how to show how they feel and give them alternatives that work for the situation. When they cry because they are sad or hurt, I offer hugs or alone time and let them go through it.
You are blessed to have your parents join you. Many years ago, my parents joined us on a Colorado trip. They spent a few days and then drove on to California. We cherish that time, they are both gone and we have precious memories.
You are soo blessed to have those great vacations and creating memories with your kids. Those memories are their legacy that they will carry with them. Keep going lovely family.
Thank you so much for sharing your holiday with us. Still in lockdown here in Ireland so its lovely to see people out in the world again. Enjoy every minute of it xx
Thanks for bringing us along on your trip! The airboat ride brought back such great memories of vacationing with my parents in Florida years ago. We are campers as well, and have a travel trailer. It's the best! Great family memories made.
So great to see your close with parents/parents in laws and great for kids to have such great memories with them go8ng on vacation with you too. You are just wonderful
I think there are so many really sweet parts of this video. I love how you weigh the situation together as parents on the decision and I love that you LOVE having your folks come camping with you. A lifetime of memories.
This reminds me of many of our homeschool trips. Hiking volcanoes in Hawaii for earth science, visiting Mount Vernon and Philadelphia for US History, Fishing in the Chesapeake Bay for biology. Fabulous! I hope your kids are keeping a diary of sorts. Thank you for sharing that homeschooling is not just a series of worksheets in a prepackaged curriculum. Your kids will never forget this adventure. Experiential learning is the best kind of all types of learners.
I enjoyed watching your airboat tour. I grew up in South Louisiana, so airboats and gators were common everyday things. It’s nice to see others experiencing those things we often take for granted. It is a blessing to find renewed appreciation for the sights around us by seeing them through new eyes. Enjoy the time with your little ones. Ours are grown now and most of our best memories were made on vacation.
We lived in Florida for 10 years when my kids were younger like yours. We loved airboating and canoeing in the Everglades. Fortunately we lived very close to the Everglades. Thanks for reminding me of fun times
Ohh the sun, tans and being outdoors! I'm ready for this weather in Ohio to change over to spring and summer. I love your videos and all the advice! It has been a life and game changer for my family and I. :)
Being outside in nature is my favorite too! I made a quick weekend trip to Phoenix and told my sisters I would be outside all day! We love going up to the mountains here in Wyoming all winter too. Glad my husband is a bit of a mountain man so being outside is his favorite too.
We took my in-laws on vacation with us all the time. They are gone now, but me, my husband, and children have such fond memories of the good times we had. Then you for taking us on this vacation with y’all.
Thank you so much for sharing your vacation time with us. I was feeling so exhausted today...yes I tend to overdo..so just been watching TH-cam and your boat alligator ride was just amazing..something I would never get to do yet feel I have through you. I was amazed at how smooth the ride was and the alligator 🐊 “eye” and “age” info was terrific. Very surprised at how clean and quiet the camp area was, and you were the only ones in the pool!! Then the absolute best part for me was when Cas explained the 10 second rule!! I have NUMEROUS containers (13) at least, around me now that I need to go through and it just felt so hopeful to know I don’t HAVE to LOOK at EVERY item, 😀which is why I never finish. 😥 Glad Corbin went on the ride and liked it in the end.
It is great to see you on vacation and weird at the same time since here still everything is closed. No camping, no pool or any other leisure opportunity, no restaurant. Vacation was something we used to do over a year ago. I was actually surprised that did not even had to wear a mask... I miss this freedom so much.
Thanks for sharing the boat ride. I actually felt like I was there and the vista was beautiful. You could make another video of just the vista alone. Thanks also for sharing the laundry. Keeping it real.😊
Dawn and Tom, so glad you are enjoying vacation. Soo jealous of that sun and warmth!! We all need it up North. I am happy that Corbin warmed up to the airboat ride. I had a horrible experience as a kid and am still afraid of small row boats. But would totally do the airboat. Love that the grandparents are so close at home and visiting on a great vacation. Those moments are precious and your kiddos will remember these special times. Safe trip home and enjoy the rest of your trip.
I love this video so much. I love camping. I live in the Pacific Northwest and miss the South I grew up in. I love the discussion about how far to push. I think Corbin will be glad he went. The pool was always the highlight of any vacation. Your camper is so fun. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. Your camping adventures make me sentimental for the days many years ago when my kids were young and we had great family camping vacations.
Thank you for taking us with you to see the all of the alligators, I probably wouldn’t have gone, so your kids are super brave! Good job Corbin for going out of your comfort zone!!
Seeing your kids in the pool - oh, how I miss those days!! We, too, were blessed to camp with grandparents. What a blessing. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us 😊
Looks like so much fun. I am so grateful for my grandparents taking us camping when we were young. I will always treasure those memories. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
Y’all are seriously the best! We totally would be friends if we lived nearby! We push our kids to do hard/scary things too! I love how you are open about your faith on social media which is seriously hard.. but super encouraging!
My husband passed away 3 years ago. Lifes not fun anymore but you have brought the fun to my day!! Thanks for sharing I got to be part of your family's vacation it triggered the happy memories of our camping vacations we used to have. How joyful it was to tag along!! Thanks so much
I love that you are close to your parents and appreciate them. Both my husband and I are blessed with very giving parents but it feels like that is not the norm anymore. Safe travels.
Airboat ride in the Everglades is one of my favorite memories of my trip to Florida with my family when I was in High School. I would definitely do it again if I’m ever out there!
Wow! I learned alot about alligators & I LIVE in the south! (I've never been on an airboat ride though) Loved this "A Day In Ur Vacation Life." U look relaxed, (very tan!!) & so happy for u guys & ur WELL DESERVED vacay! The camper design is exceptional!👍😁
I literally teared up when I saw Corbins little face at the beginning .. I felt SO bad for him , he looked SO unsure ... our daughter was that way growing up.. very unsure but usually enjoyed. .. just had to get over the initial fear/trepidation .. I am so glad he had a good time!!
I was thinking the same that Tom said when watching the boat go over all the grass and weeds about the motor getting broken and I kept having to remind myself you all were in an airboat. So fun!
It's nice to have a knowledgeable guide, and one who's pleasant, too. I learned a lot. You guys had a really nice location. I like that campground, but when you first showed the site, I thought "alligators!" 🐊😆
For me, also, getting out into nature is one of the best ways that I recharge and connect with the Lord ❤ glad you've had such a great trip and enjoyed the airboat ride! Such a fun experience
Thank you for sharing your air boat adventure, it was like being there with you. I will probably never be able to go to Florida so it was wonderful. So glad this camper is working out for you all. Stay safe 🙏🏻
I’ve lived in Florida for over 40 years and I’ve never been on an air boat ride! But I would have to drive quite a ways to find someone with an air boat since I don’t live near the water. I guess it’s just never been on my bucket list. 😎
Awesome video!! I so look forward to the video, I even learned about alligators.... And I lived in Florida for 15 years.. lol, alligator length and how many eggs they lay and more info. Who knew!!! Lol hug's
I was bracing myself too when you first went went over some grass in the boat! I feel like I got to go on vacation too by watching this video, which is greatly appreciated during the pandemic. Your Dad seems to be getting more comfortable with being on video, but I think your Mom shot you a look. LOL.
I miss camping. My family along with my sisters family & our parents would take our RV’s out for great family fun. It was great. We sold our bigger camper when our son graduated h/s. Looking forward to buying a smaller camper. Loved seeing your boat ride. It felt like we were there with you. Have fun & be safe!
What a great homeschool day! So much learning about the Everglades and alligators! We did an airboat ride as an afterthought a few years back after we got off a cruise in Miami. It ended up being our favorite part of our vacation! Hoping we can take our kiddos with us one day!!
🥰 thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us Dawn and family!! I just wanted to give Corbin a BIG HUG 🤗 and let him know it will all be ok!! 💙 I love that your parents went with you!! These are beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!!! ❤️🥰
15 years ago for our 35th wedding anniversary we took both our daughters, their husband's and our 5 oldest grandchildren which we between the ages of 3-12 to Disney World. We paid for flight from Wisconsin, a weeks condo for everyone, SeaWorld and several meals out for everyone. Great time had by all. I was curious after spending soooooo much money what the kids enjoyed the most. I asked on the flight home and their unanimous choice was playing in the condo's pool. Good thing we made time to do that several days. Lesson learned. We would do it again because they all look through the photos of the trip often and discuss how much fun they had. Love watching your family have fun.
We lived on a 25 foot Ranger Tug boat for a year and stayed in marinas each night. Laundry and showers are totally different at every marina. If it was a great one I did bedding and everything ! And I learned to live with very few clothes. Love your channel!
Such a fun time...thx for taking me along. Have a safe trip home, but be sure to watch your step getting out there with neighborhood snakes & gators. Be safe.
LOVE watching your videos and seeing your family life. Such a blessing that I look forward to. I would LOVE if your had an amazon link store shop page (or whatever they call it). where everything is in 1 place to reference and go back to! It could have the products you love or use for you, family life, house, kids toys, camping, etc.) It makes it so easy to reference and I think you might get credit when we buy from it too! Blessings on the rest of your trip!! Enjoy!
Great video. You guys are the best! Thanks so much for taking me along on your air boat ride. Very interesting stuff to learn. Who knew?! Have a safe trip home.
So glad you did this video for us ( me). I felt like I went on a little holiday...what a great escape from the dark, snowy, lockdown day here in Canada.
It looks like you all had a great time camping! Yay for Corbin’s bravery and his scooter is cool! We have those scooters and they really are fun! You get some good exercise with them as well.
super fun to travel with you guys, from someone who hasn't been out for over a year..Glad Corbin went along, he'll be remembering this forever...safe travels home family.
Wow! Thanks for the vicarious vacation to Florida. For those few minutes I could actually believe that I was in Florida, too. You guys are always the best! 😀
This was just wonderful. I feel like I got a mini vacation. And I wanted to say after watching your videos it always comes across how much you love and appreciate your wonderful parents. You are truly blessed. And would your dad please share his BBQ recipe? That looked AWESOME! I'm SO glad you must be away from that alligator spot now though.
Thank you for watching! Here is the link for Corbin's scooter for those who have been asking: amzn.to/3bLInPi -- he LOVES it! :)
What kind of air dryer is that?
My 'thumbs up' is for Corbyn for being brave x
Agree!!!!

I love this life you've made for your family. Good job!
In Northern Australia, when you see a floating log that looks like a Crocodile, it is called a "Log-odile".
I will now start calling them al-log-aters 🐊 (in southeast US)
Your parents are adorable and I love when you rave about how awesome they are! 💞

The Bible recap is so wonderful. Learning and reading His word. Glad you have had a wonderful vacation.

Your Dad seems to be getting more comfortable with being on video, but I think your Mom shot you a look. LOL.
I miss camping. My family along with my sisters family & our parents would take our RV’s out for great family fun. It was great. We sold our bigger camper when our son graduated h/s. Looking forward to buying a smaller camper. Loved seeing your boat ride. It felt like we were there with you. Have fun & be safe!

I was curious after spending soooooo much money what the kids enjoyed the most. I asked on the flight home and their unanimous choice was playing in the condo's pool. Good thing we made time to do that several days. Lesson learned. We would do it again because they all look through the photos of the trip often and discuss how much fun they had. Love watching your family have fun.
That was so awesome, guys! Thank you for sharing this! Your special time as a family ~ what a blessing! Travel safe!
Sweet Maggie reminds me of my daughter. She would be the one with ear protection and her ears covered because of the noise. Your family is so sweet.
When I heard Cas recommend Dana on her channel, it changed my world.
We lived on a 25 foot Ranger Tug boat for a year and stayed in marinas each night. Laundry and showers are totally different at every marina. If it was a great one I did bedding and everything ! And I learned to live with very few clothes. Love your channel!
I’m so glad you could take time for yourself. ❤️❤️
Such a fun time...thx for taking me along. Have a safe trip home, but be sure to watch your step getting out there with neighborhood snakes & gators. Be safe.
LOVE watching your videos and seeing your family life. Such a blessing that I look forward to. I would LOVE if your had an amazon link store shop page (or whatever they call it). where everything is in 1 place to reference and go back to! It could have the products you love or use for you, family life, house, kids toys, camping, etc.) It makes it so easy to reference and I think you might get credit when we buy from it too! Blessings on the rest of your trip!! Enjoy!
Thanks for being such good parents! Lovely day 😀
What a wonderful day! So glad you are having a good time!
Great video. You guys are the best! Thanks so much for taking me along on your air boat ride. Very interesting stuff to learn. Who knew?! Have a safe trip home.
I'm so glad you were able to take a whole week off! It's so important to do!
Hello Crystal, i hope you’re safe over there?
I hope this year brings prosperity and happiness all over the world 🌍
So glad you did this video for us ( me). I felt like I went on a little holiday...what a great escape from the dark, snowy, lockdown day here in Canada.
It looks like you all had a great time camping! Yay for Corbin’s bravery and his scooter is cool! We have those scooters and they really are fun! You get some good exercise with them as well.
I love the synchronized bunk gymnastics! I'm glad the boat ride was fun for all, enjoy the warm weather, you missed the really cold snap here in MN
That was a BLAST to watch!!! Thanks for sharing. Your kids are darling!!
super fun to travel with you guys, from someone who hasn't been out for over a year..Glad Corbin went along, he'll be remembering this forever...safe travels home family.
I wish we would have done this when our kids were little. You’ll never regret it. Looks so fun.
Fair enough, Corbyn, that was still a pretty awesome experience. He will still remember alot about that trip, and it can take a while to process it
We had a caravan when I grew up and summer holidays by the sea was just great. Some of my best holiday memories.
What a great vacation. Good memories being made.
Having great parents is such a blessing 💓 I am thankful every day for mine! 🙂👍💕
Wow! Thanks for the vicarious vacation to Florida. For those few minutes I could actually believe that I was in Florida, too. You guys are always the best! 😀
Thanks for sharing your vacation with us!
I love that you have your parents along for vacation! Great adventure you had on the air boat, I enjoyed the ride too!
What a great vacation. Such special times with family.
That was really fun, thank you for taking us along!! I appreciate all the extra work to film. Take care and thank you for all you share ♡♡
This was just wonderful. I feel like I got a mini vacation. And I wanted to say after watching your videos it always comes across how much you love and appreciate your wonderful parents. You are truly blessed. And would your dad please share his BBQ recipe? That looked AWESOME! I'm SO glad you must be away from that alligator spot now though.
