Thank you! My big adventure is walking 20 minutes to the grocery store, doctor's office, or to the bus stop! I'm 72! Just have been retired from being a lunch lady for 7 months! Being a senior citizen is the greatest adventure!
...adventure in pain...wake up to something different everyday... I guess I should be thankful to waleup...😁
That’s awesome you were able to retire and are living your best life now!! Be careful walking, I wish you the best ❤️
I love the look on Dave’s face when you told him the price of apples. I felt the same when you said it.
All the puppy content! 😍
I love that you’re sticking with the same topics we love in your videos (grocery hauls, pantry cooking, etc.) only now there’s a PUPPY. Much love to Speedy as well. I love it when he makes an appearance!
I live in MD an hour outside of DC. My husband and Mom and I are headed to cedar city UT to see some friends this summer for 15 days. Moab is planned for our first week! So excited!
LOL. "It's not even expired!" You so sound like me.
You probably already know this, but when we hike and bike in Colorado and it’s super hot and no shade, COOLING towels are literally a life saver!! I can’t tell you how much of a difference they make. My favorite one is my 9-year olds “Artic rad wear”. So when it’s 95° out and we’re biking, we have them draped around our necks. We take a snack break, take helmets off, lay that across our heads and we’re refreshed to keep going. And then if you’re near a cold river/stream, or lake you can re-wet it. They make it possible for me to take my 9 year old on 5 mile rides to our local downtown and have lunch and go to $3 kids summer movies, where we chill off in A/C, and then visit the splash pad too! By the time the movie is over it’s happy hour time for Mom, while he plays in the water.
watching all your adventures at the end was so wonderful! I'm a 70 year old grandma in Minnesota who loves your channel. I raised my family in the redwood forest of CA and moved here 5 years ago to be near all 8 of my grands. I feed only 2 now but I was you in the 70's and 80's. Now my days are filled with grands, my chickens, my 1 acre garden and quilting. But somehow I'm addicted to your show. My absolute favorite shows are when you and your daughter do it together. Bless you all, BrendaLou in rural Jordan, Minnesota.
Thank you so much for watching our crazy life!
I love your grocery haul and your attitude about family vacations. Being together and making memories. The fact that you are so active is a bonus. Beautiful scenery!!
You and Dave truly have the sweetiest marriage, you can tell you are each others bestfriends.
ok. So first, i was rooting Hailey on while she was trying to get up those rocks. Then, to hear the pride in Dave's voice when she got it. Not gunna lie... i may have gotten a little teary eyed...
your family is awesome. :) Thanks for sharing them with us!!
I got teary eyed myself too!
"It's not even expired!" That's something I say allllll the time about pasta or canned things.
We did a staycation but we did walking, biking practicing and killed it at the local botanical gardens. I had my 4 year old walking 5km a day! I was so proud of him. I can’t wait for him to learn how to bike so he can ride with us! My 9 year old also killed it. I was proud of him too!
That pup is SOOOO stinking CUTE!!!!
We recently returned from a 4 day wedding weekend. We opted for VRBO small home (took our epileptic dog with us). Dinners were covered 2 nights. I prepped breakfast sandwiches for the 3 mornings, took food for lunch, took drinks and snacks. Bottom line, we only spent money for gasoline and we had a great time and the food was delicious! What a perfect vacation for your active family!
That is awesome! Sounds like you have a great time!
We enjoy car trips and have started taking homemade muffins and yogurt for breakfast, cereal, milk, peanut butter, bananas and apples, and cooked taco meat, tortilla chips and cheese. Also microwave popcorn and homemade cookies. We take one small ice chest and one large tote (a laundry type tote). We just got back from an 8 day trip and we ate out a total of 3 times, because we wanted to. Soooo nice to have food we like available and not have to go out! We’re always tired in the evenings. Saves a ton also. Great video! Have learned so much from you Christine!
Thanks for the Moab clips. It looks like your family had a lot of fun.
I know it's a bit scary to have your son drive you but that's I learned how to drive. My parents divorced and my Dad would drive from Pennsylvania to Florida for summer visits. We would drive back to PA and I would drive when in North Carolina and that's how I got used to driving on the interstate. You're setting your son up for success when doing that. I'm glad you had fun and thank you for doing what you do!
My husband gets so upset when I pack food from the house when we go on a trip. He just doesn't realize how much easier it makes my life and he never seems to complain when I'm handing snacks out to our 6 yr old twins and my 3 yr old daughter :)
I got lucky. My husband is tighter with money than I am.
@kim smith, mine too 😂
Cyndi omg mine too!! He truly gets annoyed but is quite thankful reaching in my snack bag. Lol. We took a road trip on Easter and he was the first one to mention having to pack snacks; imagine my shock! 😂. Think we’ve turned a corner.
@@Chrissy4281 that's awesome 🤣 My husband never turns down the snacks we pack either🤣🤣
You totally inspire me to be more active with my kids. We have 6 kiddos from 10 down to 1. We are active, but I am really looking forward to going on trail rides like that and no diaper bag. You guys rock!! It also seems like you have great relationships with your kids!! You all are awesome!!
One of the things I really like about you, is your kids help out in the kitchen & lots of other chores too. My thoughts on the kitchen is, it’s going in their bellies too, so they should help.My 2 oldest are men now, but when they were little I had them helping in the kitchen from the time they could kneel on a chair to reach the counter. They loved it, now they’re the main cook in their families. I also have a daughter who has Down Syndrome & she helps me a lot too & we have a lot of fun together in the kitchen.
I would be very interested in seeing them empty food cooler and you commenting back on what you packed as ate them all, didn’t bring enough or too much, wished I had pack. As in an empties unpack video.
We did spring break in Scottsdale AZ and also did a large grocery haul once we arrived and stocked our villa’s fridge. I love having a full kitchen on Vacay. Honestly, it saved us 100s of dollars by not eating out!
So true!
Yes, my last vacation we ate out once. I loved saving that money
I love doing that too...we have friends that brag about eating out at 5 star restaurants...but that just foes nothing for me...I've had years that I did that...now I would rather spend that money elsewhere
@@debiwillis9045 we usually do one fun sit down dinner (this trip we went to medieval times) but we prefer to eat our own food. It’s easier and cheaper.
We're going to Vegas (We're in Utah) for a couple of days and I plan to pack food for the trip and for some lunches. We usually enjoy a dinner our at Vegas and breakfast will just be protein shakes and fruit. I got this idea from you so thank you!
In 1985, I flew into Moab and went whitewater rafting & jeeping for a week. It was awesome!
My stepfather taught me to drive in a cemetery so that if I hit anything it was already dead. :) It was actually pretty awesome because I was able to go as slow as I needed without upsetting anyone, it was mostly empty and there were lots of turns to practice on.
Isn't that insane for apples?! The answer is to plant a tree and the future you will thank now you! Your kids are so lucky to have you two as their parents- what an experience that looks like!
I love the vacation videos!!! Please post more of you and your family doing things. They're the best!
The key to fruit is to buy in season. Right now, blueberries and strawberries are lower in price. And grapes.
Love the Jim Gaffigan reference 😂 “let’s go eat something, and then after we can go get something to eat”
I am envious of your lifestyle! At 78 it's a little late for me to start mountain biking, (I'm paranoid about falling) but I am doing my best to become more active, and even the little I"ve been able to achieve so far is exciting!
Grocery prices are definitely going up and will continue to do so. Great selection of snacks. Imagine what you would have paid if you had not already had those other things in your pantry. Thats why it's important to keep a stocked pantry. Good job! Looked like y'all had a fun weekend and Rogue fit in perfectly.
Y’all look like you had a terrific time in Moab-Such a pretty place and so cool! Rogue acted like a real trooper. How did the apples fair? Thank you so much for sharing your trip and bringing me along, Christine.
I love your vacation prep videos! Thank you for sharing your tips
Thanks so much for sharing your families adventure spring break 💜
I absolutely love how you all love to get out and enjoy hiking, mountain bike riding and generally enjoying each other's company and it also looked like Rogue had a fantastic time as well 🐕
Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Love the grocery hauls!
Looks like so much fun! I absolutely love your videos! Moab is beautiful. & Rogue is doing so well, she is gorgeous! Thanks for taking us along with you and your family!
How nice it must be to just be able to pack up and go on such a fun vacation. I live in S TX but there doesn’t seem to be anything fun to do. Lotsa flat land and cattle. Plus, we’ve got snakes - LOTSA snakes. Those kind that bite you and you die!!!👀 Plus, it takes alllllll day just to get out of TX. I have learned, though - from you! - to pack my own food. I’m doing that from now on. I LOVE when you show your vacation highlights. 🚴🚴♂️♥️🥰🥾
South Texas sounds like BEACHES or maybe San Antonio or perhaps big bend?
Thank you for showing us how being frugal can allow you to go to super cool places. Loved all the footage of the cool hiking and biking trails in Moab!
You have inspired me. I'll never be as active as your family but I've started walking my 100 yards multiple times a day. I even had a slope to climb (ok. Maybe 4 degrees, but it felt HUGE). What great videos you produce.
Looks like so much fun! Great memories. I agree, it’s so much better to bring as many snacks and meals as possible.
So fun love the holidays you take, the childhood memories your building for your babies absolutely amazing
Oh yes. We have a family cabin at a popular lake in Minnesota. The town is easiest to get to by boat, and also only has one small store. Last year was my first family trip with my own child and I regret not packing more snacks, and at least lunch things to take with us. Better prepared for this year now!
Fun to watch, this is what we would do, always brought food and ate out once over lunch
I just did a video like this on my channel! I love seeing what other people buy for trips. We went to the Grand Canyon and stayed in an Airbnb with a full kitchen, so we brought a lot of food with us. It helped save us so much money since we weren’t eating out for all of our meals. Thanks for sharing Christine.
So lovely to see Hailey back on two feet and enjoying life.
I haven’t been subscribed for long, and Christine always talks about Hailey’s surgery, but I’ve never heard the reason she needed surgery. Was it an injury or something she was born with that needed fixing?
I’m actually really excited to use your sponsor. My dog was sick the other day and it cost us $600! Literally the next day he was fine.
It's been SO NICE to avoid those expensive vet visits with something like this!
Thank you for sharing your adventures 😊
Thanks for sharing your trip! That warm weather looks amazing! Still cold and rainy and sometimes snowing in Oregon.
Keep on truckin' FFM family! Love watching you guys enjoying life together and loving it. Thanks for sharing.
I love this. Thanks for sharing your trip packing tips and the Utah pictures. We are hoping to visit Utah next year. We visited Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana last year. We loved it. So beautiful!!
That adventure was so cool!! Thanks for sharing.
Smart. we went to the Bahamas for Spring Break and did not plan ahead. Let's just say the snack prices 😮 Yeah, I learned my lesson. As for your $85, that was one dinner for our family of four on our vacation. I think you got off cheap😊
We just got back from an Easter vacation and did the same. We don’t eat out on vacation, we always cook our dinners.
Moab IS amazing! We enjoy visiting National Parks, and Moab was perfect. Arches quickly became one of my top 3 National Parks! So much to see and do!
Amazing trip! Love the conquering the hill part especially! G
Glad Tyler was ok! Yes, I have sticker shock on groceries as well! I pulled my orders up on curbside apps to get an idea of what I would spend and about had a heart attack! And that is without meat as I am doing my own clean out the freezer challenge this month myself! So glad for my small pantry and freezer stockpile tho! Have a blessed week!
I dont know how I missed this video but it was great!! Moab is just beautiful and all the trails look so fun!! Love how supportive you all are on the trails of each other!! I can feel the love.
Whoo hoo what fun! Great shots beautiful place! Hope you had as much fun as it looked
Looks like you guys have such a great time in the outdoors as a family. So cool.
You are right I live in Stowe Vermont and I work in the basically only tiny grocery store. It’s a ski resort town in winter and all sorts of stuff in summer. My store is empty a lot and the regulars complain so much lol Have a good time!!
Thank you for sharing your experience. We recently moved to SD and our family of 4 have made it a goal to hike every week(weather permitting) with our 4 dogs. It is amazing and bringing all of us closer together. New subscriber. 💗
Hope you had a blast!!!! I grew up in Moab!
I live in a tourist area. Within 20 miles I have Camelback, Great Wolf, Kalahari and 2 Casinos. It's crazy especially in the winter with snowboarding and skiing. I know that some grocery stores that are close to those attractions are a bit more expensive and you best believe they don't have a discount rack.
Looks like quite the adventure!! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Nice trip! Beautiful country in Moab.
That looks like such an amazing trip! Watching makes me want to visit Moab (when it's not too hot)!
Thanks for taking me down memory lane. I took my grandsons on a trip from Illinois to California 2017, wish I had know more about Moab. Got in late spent most of next day at arches
Wish we'd stayed 1 whole day before trekking on. Boys loved it hiking climbing the rocks beautiful there
I'm just amazed at how easily you got out of that box 📦 🤣
Beautiful location. Thanks for sharing this
Last summer we stayed in Monticello west of Moab. We loved that area. Arches nana park is amazing!!!! We enjoyed it more than the Grand Canyon. Next time you are in the area, look up Newspaper rock. We had never heard of it, and discovered it is amazing. There is a little campground in the national forest in Monticello, secluded and peaceful. We stayed for seven days.
Moab is amazing, outside of Yellowstone my favorite place in the US
UTAH IS GORGEOUS!!!
The facial hair looks good on dave
you guys are truly one of my favorite youtube channels!
Beautiful, I want to do that! Thank you for sharing
Good for you , family vacation 👏👏 We just bought Ebikes, so our summer will be local and outdoor
We Moab back in 2005 with the boyscouts. It was so fun. 💜🌞😀
Glad Rogue is okay, my 10 month old puppy eats everything she shouldn't, already had her at our local 24 hr vet after she ate part of a doormat, then last week she got into a Taxus shrub(also very toxic which I didn't know, and it was behind a barrier fence). Thank you for the link to Fuzzy, I have a feeling I may need them.
Your family are hard core recreatioalists. And brave. As I've gotten older I've become fearful.
Looked like a amazing spring break.. and y'all had a awesome time. Nothing better then being outdoors ☺️😉 when we lived in Phoenix Arizona 🦎🌵 every weekend I took my kids to to Papago park where u can hike up to the hole in the rock . They loved .. we live in Tucson now and no kids at home lol 🤣 have a great day 💞 everyone . Stay safe and always make it fun 😊🥰🤙 Love from Tucson Arizona 💗🦎🌵🌻🦉👩🌾🌵🦎💗
That looks like so much fun!
Omg I loved watching this!! I'm so jealous! Everything looked amazing!!!
I love Moab! We live in Denver and have new electric bikes that I ride for 6-10 miles when possible. It’s cold and miserable in Denver and I am definitely waiting for summer!
Looks like Rogue had just as much fun as you did!
I'm from Idaho and I had to laugh when I saw your feet in the part of the video where you were picking Rogue up at the groomers. You had flip flops on and you said you had snow 🤣🤣 you've mentioned you lived in Texas before so your flip flops in the snow is the perfect mix of a Texa meets Idaho thing 🤣🤣🤣
Apples are insane! My son loves them so this year we are planting some trees in hopes they produce fruit by the time he's a teenager.
We absolutely love Moab but as we live near memphis TN we don’t get to go often. There’s this great little taco place we love too lol.
I would be interested to see how you stock your first aid kit for adventure activity trips like this and who carries it? Obviously there are some mishaps.
How fun!! I live just a little over an hour away from Moab in Southern Colorado. We had a little girl over a week for my kids spring break. We went to visit family in Arizona. My family and I are getting more into hiking this summer. Any key tips you can give me. My kids are 8,6,and 3.
I was craving oranges a few weeks ago so I ran up to the grocery store. Got 4 average sized oranges, got to the checkout, and 4 oranges cost $10!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it! Needless to say, I didn't satisfy my craving because those oranges stayed right there! Absolutely insane.
With global warming, food is going to cost more and more...
It gets really hot, so in the Arctic ice melts, disturbing marine currents, which then disturbs air currents, and suddenly, after a heat wave, we have a cold wave.
So then everything that bloomed ices, making it more costly to harvest food, because half of it dies.
It's going to be worse and worse, with each year passing us not adressing this issue... Brace yourself !
That’s expensive. I got a bag of 5 Cara Cara oranges from Trader Joe’s for $3+ and those were the higher price oranges. Regular kind will be less. Try to check out other stores next time. Craving is hard to bear.
I thought that in Poland prices are high, but for over 2 pounds (1 kg) of oranges I need to pay 5,70 PLN (1,33$). In December is much more cheaper.
Ah I loved this! I haven’t been to Moab but I have been to Zion and it was soooo fun 🥲 I’m currently snowed in in North Dakota so I totally feel your frustration with the snow and the cold and the wind!
Hubby and I still bring 90% of our food and drink with us. For meals I cook then place in a Ziploc bag and freeze. When you have several frozen meal bricks in an insulated bag (those jumbo Costco bags are excellent) they keep each other cold until we get to our destination. At destination we just need to microwave our pre-cooked meals.
I love watch all your ideas on what to cook ,just want to let u know there are some plants that are safe for dogs ,but most of plants are poisonus to dogs in different degrees of severity,hope it helps if the puppy like to chew on plants❤
Rogue is such a pretty dog. Love her coloring. Great video for outside living / camping.
Nice! Ur kids r lucky to live like that!! 👍👍 Good job, Mom and Dad!!!
Future chip suggestions for any time, when you can find it. WinCo's Smoked Guda are the boom. What a great trip, that's for sharing 💞
Love Moab ! We rented a Jeep and did off roading last time we were there, so much fun!
I go to the Costco in the UK and I only buy specific fruit from there due to the price of vegetables and fruits! I can buy a whole bag of mini apples for £1-£2 depending on variety in other stores
We used to camp in north Michigan but not anymore because of medical reasons !!! We are 2 people in our family lives right now !!!
Last year we drove to Florida from Vermont and back. Stayed in 7 hotels all together and did not cook. Omg I wish I was watching your show before because we could have saved a ton of money!!! Doesn’t help that I’m not a cook or anything and I don’t even like it but I could have tried 🤔😊
I am disabled and cannot do those things but felt like I was with you! Awesome video!
Utah is nice I ended staying more than 6 mos there hehe🌅beautiful sunset
Looked like such a fun family time
