Nothing worse when things keep going wrong but just remember its just a bad day not a bad life and things will get better ❤
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
I love what you said. Lynne Victoria Australia🇦🇺🐨👍🏻
Couldn't agree more with celtic9333 comments
All have pure souls but Katie’s really shines she’s such a down to earth woman really inspiring and just a beautiful person inside and out🩷
Thank you so much for your lovely, kind words 🙏
Good luck with the dream van, thank God the lovely staff helps xx
I have had a very bad week feeling low and depressed but I am so happy you guys have posted I have an eating disorder and struggling with it but you guys help me stay happy. Also I am so sorry if things aren't going right hope they do wishing you look ❤❤❤
Hey Chloe, so sorry to hear what you have been going through, we can't imagine what that must be like :( So glad to hear that we are helping you stay happy, we're sending you so much love from all of us and hope that things get better for you 💚
Sending positive vibes to Bob, Katie and Jo Jo because they are needed. Hopefully today and the week ahead is a much better experience for Family Freedom. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 all Family Freedom.
Thank you David 🙏🏴
Oh guys ❤
Whilst it's been stressful, and I can imagine very draining, you've clearly embraced your situation, and 'just keep rising'. I hope it's an adventure you can look back on in future as just that-another crazy adventure. If someone told you, you could spend extra time at the end of your trip you'd love it, so see it as that, an extended trip- with a little headache on top, I appreciate. X
That's so true! Thank you so much for your lovely kind and reassuring words 💚🤗💚
Sending positive vibes your way that you guys are doing well and safe and enjoy your weekend take care hopefully the Van gets fixed soon and thanks for sharing the places you went and ate. At that's awesome 💯 and Just Keep Rising 👆💚
Hey 👋 family freedom family I’m here for your prayers 😊❤
Just keep rising my darlings. Things will better soon x
Thank you! 🙏
Oh no I was so hoping the van would have been good to go but really happy you're safe and at a wonderful hotel. You have all made the best of a stressful situation that's for sure🤗 Love that dry robe and the silly pictures were fun to see. My fav was the restaurant, getting your food by rollercoaster now that's cool. Sending love & good vibes your way for the best of luck with everything. I wish I could do more.
Thank you so much Karen 💚🤗💚
@@FamilyFreedom

Good luck hope you get the van sorted soon , sending you lots of love xx
Ohh no I was hoping the van would of sorted when it dried out, I’m sorry to hear it didn’t. I really hope you get it repaired soon. Xx
We hope so too 🙏 Thank you for your kind words 💚🤗

Hope you get everything sorted x
Wow a simple break away turned into a stressful time but luckily your in a good place and a roof over your head hope the van gets sorted and you get home eventually
Thanks so much for your kind words Jenny 🤗
So sad to see your van go! Since recently I’ve been subscribed to your channel! Thanks to you Katie I bought a dryrobe for myself! I hope that you get your van back soon! Greetz from steph from the Netherlands
Hi Steph, thank you for your lovely comment and welcome to our channel, it's good to have you here 💚 Enjoy your Dryrobe, I absolutely love mine even though Bob and JoJo say I look like a tent in it 😂 I don't mind looking like a tent if it means being warm and dry 😂 Fingers crossed we hear some news about our van soon 👌
Hi all that food looked amazing, AND all the best with the van .
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for sharing guys, that restaurant its so cool, hope the van Situation gets sorted 👍 soon sending love and good luck ❤
Thank you Susie 🙏
I'm sorry to hear about the van guys, glad your in the warm in a hotel at Alton Towers. Just Keep Rising. 👍
Thanks Angie 🙏💚
As you guys always say, no matter what, just keep rising (above whatever’s going on) and you guys are following that quote well.
That restaurant looks so so cool and so unique, would want to go there one time and take my niece and nephew as they’d love it as well.
Hope things are getting better for you guys #freegang #livebutnotlive #justkeeprising💚💚
Aw thank you for your kind words Milly 💚 Yes you should take your niece and nephew to that restaurant, they will love it. lot's of vegan options there too. We spoke to the chef who was happy to do whatever we wanted 🤗
Hope all goes well
Im sorry about your van hopefully it will get fixed soon xx
Thank you Lucy 🤗
I am sorry things have not been right for you guys, I know it is easy said than done but keep positive keep rising you will eventually get out of this mess. one of my favourite saying is ' if A and B doesn't work there are 26 letters in the Alphabet. I believe in your guys
That's a cool saying, thank you for sharing and for your words of support! 🙏
Love you guys so much ❤
hope your van gets fixed and it is not too long to wait great vlog
We hope so too! 😊
Really happy that you were able to have a good time although your Van isn’t well.
Speaking of Game Shows I loved Strike it Lucky too.
We did try to go to the Roller Coaster restaurant before but unfortunately it was closed, so happy that you all had a good time. 😊💚🌱🥰
Strike it lucky is so much fun, definitely one of our favourites.
At least you have an excuse to go back to Alton Towers now 😊💚🌱🥰
@@FamilyFreedom it really is such a good one.
We would love to go back to Alton towers. 😊💚🌱
So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
This a song from the church im attending.. i dont know if you’re religious but I think this song can encourage anyone even with different beliefs.
Hope you’re doing great
Thanks so much for sharing these words, they bring us great comfort 🙏
Pray van is fixed soon but in enjoy ur time 😊❤
Things will get better!! It’s just a bad day not a bad life better days are coming our way xx

Your positive attitude is UPLIFTING. I love the a previous fan said I had day not a bad life. Going to take that on board. May even write it down & put. Where I can see. Wish you could fast forward & let us know the out come & see you home with dream. Love & 🙏🏻. Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨💙💙💖☀️🌞☀️🌞☀️
Aww thank you so much Lynne!! Yes that was a lovely thing to say and we have taken it on board too 💚 Sending you all our love as always 🐨🤗🇦🇺💙🌞
Sending you a MAHOOOSIVE virtual hug. If you had broken down near me you wouldn't need a hotel, you could stay in our mad house. JoJo you and your mum looked so cute in your dry robe. I know this probably won't help at the moment but so pleased your van just broke down and you didn't have an accident. Safe journey home. Love you guys xxx
Aww thank you so much for your kindness, your comment really made us smile 💚🤗
The rollercoaster restaurant wow looked amazing 😂
It's a lot of fun 😂
Hope u are ok xx
Keep your spirits up everything will be okay
Aw thank you 💚
also little tip whenever I go on vacation I always stuff my suitcase with those eco friendly bags you take with you when grocery shopping. sometimes we bring back more than we packed
That's a great travel tip! Thank you 😊👌
Good luck jojo

Thank you so much for your lovely kind comment Lisa, although we didn't have a chance to reply at the time your words really made us smile! You're amazing 💚🤗💚
Ohh Katie, your hair looks really nice up in a bun ❤
Oh thank you Annette! 😊
Hope the van is okay!
Loved that restaurant, it's so cool! I'd go to alten towers just to visit it!😂
It's definitely a unique experience and worth it 👍
Over here in australia we use them at the pool for the squad swimmers. My husband has one that he wear for walking in the winter
They are so handy especially when it's raining 😀
I had a pretty good week, but I am having a lot of pain in my shoulders and will be going Tuesday for shots in both shoulders so I love y’all’s shirts and I just keep raising when the pain is bad I don’t let it stop me from doing what I love, I really hope y’all can get your van Dream fixed. Love y’all’s videos and y’all are awesome and JoJo is a awesome kid, oh by the way I’m from Summerville Georgia 🇺🇸.
So sorry to hear of the pain that you have been going through Barbara, we hope everything went well with the shots and you are feeling better 💚 So glad that the message on our shirts resonates with you. Thank you for your lovely comment. Sending all our love to you in Georgia 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
Oh bless you all. I hope the van gets fixed soon..just imagine though if you were on your trip to Italy in the van 😮 Xx
Nooo! 😮 Maybe that's why it is best it happened now rather than then! 👍😊
@@FamilyFreedom Exactly my thoughts x
Coming to you live but not live from north wales. Ooo no hope you get the van sorted soon
Thanks Hannah 🤗
Happy birthday
Iam a new subscriber i hope you get home soon you are a lovely family
Thank you so much for your kind words and thanks for subbing, welcome to our channel, it's good to be able to share our adventures with you 😊
I hope you’re van gets fixed soon ❤
Us too!! 🤞
Being stranded is the WORST! When I was 25 I got stranded alone at an airport in Minnesota, USA for 2 days because of a bad snow storm! Luckily they were very nice and gave me vouchers for food and sleeping arrangements, but it was definitely scary! I hope everything works out ok! You've kept your spirits up very well, which is hard to do in stressful situations. Live but not live from North Dakota USA ❤
Oh no, I can't imagine how stressful that must have been, especially for 2 days, I hope you managed to stay warm!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, sending all our love 🇺🇸💙🤗
Coming to you live but not live from Cheltenham, seeing by the title the van won't start ? I watch all of your vlogs so I remember.
We appreciate you watching and following our journey Angie 💚
Hi guys hope you are alright ❤
Finishing watching the video now. Hope you have some good news now and can go home. Hope Sam had a nice birthday 🎂 🎉 how are they both getting on in their new place? Will we be getting a tour of their place too?
We've just come back from a Bounce Trampoline and soft play centre. Wow pretty expensive 😢 but well worth it. My son's fast asleep now. Will give him a nice warm bubble bath later on in the evening now.
We definitely plan to visit Sam and Emily's place and take you guys with us! Hopefully soon 😊
@@FamilyFreedom ooo nice
Am sorry too her at bob and jojo and kite I hop u are u ok today 😊 am sorry aobt at bob and JOJO
Oh no! I hope you get home I’m at 0:12 ❤😢
i love game shows too xxx
Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day!
Ah oh ,was my reaction when I read the thumbnail😂
Sorry about the van,atleast your trying to make light of the situation! Atleast it didn't happen when travelling to Italy!.
Your theme park photos can't be as bad as my one😂it was during covid so u had to wear your mask on the ride and my mask fell down so it made me look like i had a long chin😂 so my sister said I looked like robie rotten from lazy town 😂
Ooo that curry looks nice it's making me hungry ,I'm about to have takeaway curry😂
Did u say chips?!!!😂😂
Take care :)
Just keep rising💚🌻🌿
Hi Lana 👋 hope you're well and having a good day too!
Thank you so much for your kind and reassuring words, we appreciate it.
Your ride photo sounds so funny 🤣🤣🤣
We hope you enjoyed your curry 😋
You can't beat curry and chips mixed together 🤣
Have a great week 💚
I am sorry to hear of all that has happened to you.
Thanks Hugh, I'm sure we'll get it through it all! 👍
i hope this gets resolved asap for you
I remember Mick, he looks like Paul McCartney.
YES! 👍😊
Oh bob seems really sad in this video. I hope it gets sorted quickly xx ❤
I know I hope he is ok and I love Bob he is such a caring funny person ❤
@@ChloeSinclair-jt5kj I know 🥹 it made me sad xx
Your kind words have truly helped so thank you 🤗
My dad and mom were seriously obsessed when they got this new gray bronco, but quickly that changed when it became cursed and really just had things happen to it, including my mom being hit from behind and it getting stuck in the guardrail in the road (took months to get fixed). Due to so many mishaps going on (the most recent, dad going over a bump and getting us a flat in heavy rain), I was in agreement that this car is actually a possessed car called "Geronimo's Cadillac" like the Modern Talking song. It at least is not like Stephen King's "Christine". BUT, I think they should get rid of it.
Well, at least you have an excuse for extra vacation days! Oh, one time you went to an amusement park with a beach in the middle. In Connecticut, where I live, we have a park like that. It is Quassy Amusement and Waterpark, with regular and water rides and swimming at the beach. I always went in childhood when they USED TO (yes, in the 80s and 90s) have quarter night on Friday (everything was a quarter). In modern times, the employees there probably never even heard of a quarter, but the park is still there, in Middlebury.
Hey, sorry for the late reply, we're just catching up on some comments that we accidentally missed 😋
Wow, it sounds like your parents had some really bad luck with theirs! It's really frustrating when these things happen 🙂
We still don't have our van back but hopefully will do soon 👍
@@FamilyFreedom Yeah, good luck getting it back. 😀
My mum fell had to have a operation on a fracture are dog has to have a operation and 3 of us have just got over covid.[first time having it ]Also we have not had internet for weeks thanks to virgin messing up a outside cable .so only using small amounts of phone data,All i can say is its got to get better for all of us
Oh no :( so sorry to hear all of that Simone :( Sounds like you've all really been through it! Sending you all so much love and hope that things get better soon 💚
Surely you can get someone to pick you up and then collect the van when it is fixed? It would be a hell of a lot cheaper?
Hey Catherine, thanks for your comment 😊
We had considered that but unfortunately Alton is over 150 miles from home so it wasn't an option 👍
@@FamilyFreedom I'd have got you
Jojo is legit about to pass his mum in height, can you see it?
Oh yes!!! 😊
well dont at keeping positive but remember.. the country is not that big- just hire a car, go home, do what you need to do then go collect van when it is ready :)
Thank you 🤗 that might be our only option 💚
I know uncertainty can be so draining but I always like to believe everything happens for a reason so there must be a good reason this has happened maybe the universe felt you needed a little longer of a holiday and I know you feel disappointed about Sams birthday but that just means he’ll have to have two cakes one for when yous get home 👀😊
Thanks Shauna, this perspective has really helped us through this time as we've tried to tune into the possibility that this has to happen for good reason, we'll see. We appreciate your kindness and are sending you and your family love 💚 😊
I hope your van gets fixed
👍❤️
🤗💙
Sorry, am going off topic . Just wondering if you can do a q & a type vlog and give some tips on how to overcome meat cravings when someone is changing to a vegan lifestyle. Hope this makes sense 😊❤
That's a great question Annette, we went through the same thing 😣
The thing that really helped us was watching the movie Earthlings. There are some better ones you can watch now like Dominion or Land of Hope and Glory. I think they are both available on TH-cam. Good luck and let us know how you get on 💚
At time stamp 13:12 where sign says "Nemisis closed, investigation underway" doesn't sound good! 😳
Hey Janet, that's actually a joke/theme sign as the ride was deliberately closed while they laid a new track (it's open again now). The 'investigation' part is referring to the made up story behind the ride, so nothing to worry about! 😊
#livebutnotlive from Essex
Hello mick good old mick
Coming #livebutnotlive from the earth's core it's a bit toasty down here.
😂😂😂🤣
I'm the u.s we call them deck coats swimmers use them all the time and I coming live but not live from Utah
Ah, deck coats, we'll have to remember that! 👍🇺🇸
Also have you guys watched the Prime Video superhero series Invincible yet?
No we haven't, we might check it out. Thanks for the suggestion 👍
Family Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FreeGang! Yay!!! Commenting to you #LIVEbutNOTLIVE from South Carolina, USA (East Coast). I am praying that you receive all of the help that you require in this situation. Thank you to all the staff and the establishment for going above and beyond when they encounter someone in need. Faith in business: RESTORED. I am pleased, that if this had to happen, that it was God's plan that you three are all together & that this is just another adventure, albeit aggravating and maybe a little (lot) stressful. This is a very good example of *Things/situations may be very stressful, but there is always far greater aspects to be more thankful of than stressed over.* #JKR
Thank you once again for sharing your good energy and reassuring perspective with us Christie, we genuinely appreciate it! 💚🙏
We are definitely hoping and feeling that this is all part of God's plan for something greater to happen, and yes you're right it was just another part of this adventure! 🙌
You've reminded us that we're very grateful that we were together, safe and still had a fun holiday ahead of us! 😃
Thank you so much for your continued kindness, we hope you have an amazing week 💚
There is a possibility that your van is written off, so you might need to get a new one
We hope it can get fixed 🙏
My family watch pointless and Richard Osmand’s house of games.
JoJo likes Pointless but hasn't seen House of games before, we'll have to check it out 🤗
Was the burger vegan?
Yes 👍😋
😥It was like watching 'DREAM' being carted off by an 🚑AUTO AMBULANCE to the Emergency Room!
I know! 😢
sorry to see this im upset for you
JoJo will be your rock
Sorry to ask but have you guys ever considered going barefoot everywhere for the rest of your lives and never wearing shoes or socks again also I’m sorry about your van hopefully things get better for you
Hey, no need to apologise for the question, it's all good 👍
We do regularly go barefoot when in green spaces and at festivals where we'll be barefoot the whole time 😊
@@FamilyFreedom cool
Enjoy your extended stay ! Try not to let the dream van situation get you down, things will work out. And no more driving through big puddles. 👍♥🩷💙👍
Thanks so much for your lovely reassuring comment Ange :) Sending big love 💙🤗💚
Not even cold but she’s dressed up as though it’s winter
I like being cozy and warm 🧣 I hope you're ok and having a nice weekend 🤗
Most kids at school, not JoJo though
It’s BROUGHT not bought
Don't be so rude
🙊
Such a disappointment for you but at least you are in a privileged position you can afford to have another room for x amount of time. See the silver lining.
We were thinking the same thing Lindsay, we are very lucky 🙏 Hope you and the family are doing well 💚🤗
thinking of you lots of luck from joyce and andrew🚐
Thank you Joyce an Andrew 💚 That means a lot 💚
