Glad Momma Russo gave a shout out to Kates hard work. Editing is the other side of the filming adventure. So all you content providers a neophyte traveler got to see at first hand all the work that goes into posting online & acknowledges that! IIt is very much appreciated by viewers around the world. Glad you guys had a chance to check off the grizzly bear box from your life list too. Everything in its season. Y'all Keep & Be Well
@@ronsmith1364 Thanks, Ron. I did have an idea of the work they put into their channel and newsletter etc when they spent several months here but watching it on the road doing their thing while we were out and about is another story!
Kait should win daughter in law of the year. She was so supportive of this special time with Joe and MOM. I really appreciated the loved she showed in serving and celebrating MOM.
Kait is an amazing daughter-in-law, but Mom is really special too! ❤ I have enjoyed these videos so much. I'm so sorry to see this series end! Best wishes Mom! Hope to see you again sometime!
@@Weretherussos I think she should get to choose the next place you go and perhaps a few days without editing or filming or mapping things. Just spoil the daylights out of her. Christine & Joe are also critical elements of the team, but Kait gave up the most to care for Charlie-she is a loving & generous human. Joe, you won the lottery with your wife!
Just wanted to say I truly enjoyed the whole trip with your mom! But am excited to see what’s instore for you two! Tell your mom to check in periodically so we can see what she’s up to! We will miss her!
Dear Mrs. Russo- So happy that everything went well on your trip and I know you and Charley had a wonderful time with Kait and Joe. Thanks to Kait for the great photography and Joe- you are a terrific storyteller/narrator. I really appreciate that you shared this experience on your TH-cam channel. Safe travels! 😀👍🏻👏
Love your mom. Old school, appreciates people, places and the gets pleasure from the little things in life. Hopefully you will have her more in the future.
I’m tearing up. All these years watching you guys this has been my favorites! Love that you made so many great memories together. It’s made me really miss my mom and wished I had spent more time with her like this. Mama Russo is a gem and I enjoyed getting to know her in this series. Love you mama Russo. Now you have fans too! ❤️ God bless you.
Noooo, this can’t be the end. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of your mom, her personality is infectious 🥰 God bless you all and thank you for sharing your travels with all of us
I have love watching these videos with Christine “Mom” Russo, Joe and the best daughter in law in the planet, Kait. Truly enjoyable and what family is all about. You will not look back and think, I always wanted to do that or why didn’t we. Have to admit it made me wee bit emotional too. Sad to see it end and thankful you shared it. ❤️ and blessings to you all.
Nooooooooo!! I don't want this series to end! I have loved seeing all of these places through Mom's eyes. I loved your humor, mom, and your tenacity. Thanks to you all for the meaningful fun. Perhaps, I'll miss Charley most of all.
So sad to see the summer with mom series come to an end. As a 53 yr. old mom with an adult son, I've enjoyed watching the mother & son time together as much as the sights! And a huge kudos to Kait!
Allowing your followers to be a part of this summer trip was incredibly special. I am a 64 year old with major heart and lung problems, but in my early years we spent a lot of time camping in the national parks. I have loved living vicariously through your videos and have been brought to tears several times by the love that is obvious between you and your mom. Thank you for taking us along!
I am still watching - BUT I KNEW Mom would bring you the luck of spotting the grizzlies!~ I am going to miss mom on your adventures, this just brought a new whole level to van life. Thank you Kait for your hard work in the background and than you Joe for being so accommodating. Thank you so much for Storyteller for the van! If I was in the market for new, I would buy one!~ PS.. YES< A I'mMomRussos TH-cam channel.. ! Love you mom Russo along with a 200,000 subscribers!!!
AHHHHH YES !!!!! Congratulations on 200K subscribers !!!!!!!! I can’t believe this is the end of 10 weeks with momma Russo !!!! THIS WENT TOOOOO FAST !!! :(. It does however reiterate in my heart how much time i want to spend in MANY places that I’ve been to in the past since I started traveling at age 19 some 43+ years ago !!! STORYTELLER OVERLAND BEAST MODE 4X4 IS STILL MY PURCHASE when the time comes !!! Blessings and safe travels, Deb
That's amazing that she's a lung cancer survivor. Unfortunately my mom died in 1985 from Lung Cancer times have changed and more people survive now. I so happy she was able to get through it. Great conversations. You asked her what she thought about the Camper Van. I so happy I had my truck camper because like yours I could go anywhere a car could go yet have my own bathroom on hand. When I watched people standing in line to use the public bathrooms I thanked my lucky stars. The lines for the restrooms were so long and they don't have enough.
Awww, I'm going to miss seeing your mom and her reaction to the places she got to see. I think trips like these are so important. I watched another TH-camr who took his dad to all of the places they lived while he was growing up and the stories that his dad would tell were so entertaining...but more importantly, the experience for the two of them was priceless. I'm so happy for your mom, getting to spend this time with you and Kate and being able to do something so epic. Everyone should be so lucky.
@@christinerusso7822 You were such a joy to have in the vlogs! As a mother I cannot imagine how special it is for your kids to take you on such a great adventure. Hope you continue your adventures in the future. Much love and hugs to you!
Oh, I enjoyed this series so much! The love and respect that you have for each other is so evident, and the fact that you were considerate of each other's wants and needs explains what made the trip work. And what a blessing to have that time together! My husband and I travel in a Class B RV, which is a bit bigger than your van, but even it requires a willingness to give and adjust when we're on the road for several weeks. Kudos to all of you for having fun, while having an amazing journey across the country! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Finale? It's over already?!? I really enjoyed the Summer with Mom series. You guys are great son (better than I could ever hope to be) and daughter-in-law.
I can’t wait until the Winter with Mom series starts…….Pretty please with sugar on top! Mom you are such an amazing women. Thank you for letting us come along.
You are a wonderful son and Kate is the best daughter in law. Mom Rocks!!! Charlie is going to miss you both. Thank you for sharing your trip and your mom. ❤
Such a sweet series... We're going to miss you, Mom! ♥️ Please keep us posted every now and then as to how you and Charlie are doing! Thank you so much for letting us all tag along...👍
My husband and I have really enjoyed all of your "Summer with Mom" videos! Your Mom is such a hoot! Joe, you're a wonderful son to do this for your Mom. Thank you and Kait for all your hard work in sharing this special time with the rest of us!
Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey. I’m sure mom will always remember what a joy it was to spend time with both of you, and rediscovering the beauty of the places you visited. 💝
Mama and Joe are adorable and Kait you’re a special daughter in love. I so enjoyed summer with mom…you’re a wonderful sport. I’m leaving with tears in my eyes. 🍁💛
I’m with you, Mom….. I don’t like that it’s over but what a way to finish!! I have so enjoyed you all! What a summer - full of wonderful memories to treasure! Can we have some short repeats…..? 😃😃😃
I have thoroughly enjoyed this adventure you all went on. I'm close to your mother's age so it reallying warms my heart to see this. Thanks for taking us along
I just loved this series with your mom!! I wish the three of you(and Charlie, of course!) could do this more often. Your mom adds a lot of love and sweetness! Thank you all!!
HI MOM, really enjoyed watching this series, going to miss you Christine, you added an interesting twist. My Yellowstone story. Roll back the calendar to 1966. I was 8 years old. My family went on a huge road trip for our summer holidays. We were living on Vancouver Island. First we went to Alberta then headed south from there. Furthest south was San Diego. I remember parts and pieces of the trip. Of course the highlight was going to Disneyland but I do have some pretty clear memories of Yellowstone. I have very vivid memories of old faithful, walking some of the trails around the pools of hot water, the paint pots. To have such vivid memories of this place must mean that it really meant something to my 8 year old self. It is a place that has been calling me for years, I will get back there. We went on another big family vacation in 1971 to Hawaii for Christmas. After that I turned into a surely teenager that didn't want to have anything to do with his parents because they were "uncool". If only I had known that my mom would pass away in 1980. I wish that I could have been able to take my mom on a trip like this.
I read your story with interest; don't feel bad. You did many things with your mom before she passed and that's what is important. I love the area your were from. Vancouver Island is one of my most favorite places
We enjoyed you more, Momma Russo! I'm 67 as of a few weeks ago. I've so enjoyed it! I would love to see you going in a van for a couple of weeks / months! I want one too! It would be interesting to watch YOUR adventures at your pace! Thank y'all for sharing!
It is said that : “The older we get, the faster times flies by”! Of course this isn’t true, bec time is a constant! But, those 10wks FLEW BY SO QUICKLY” lol! It’s been so awesome watching these SUMMERTIME ADVENTURES, I wish you four did a bonus two extra weeks for our enjoyment 😅😜 Have a safe trip going back to LA 🤗😘
I have enjoyed watching the summer with mom. It warms my heart to see the love all of you have shared. Christine, it was a joy to see you enjoyed the trip.
Good job Joe. Taking mom around Yellowstone is something you'll remember forever. Thanks for the POI tips, I marked them down for my trip there next year.
I'm sad, I have been enjoying this so much that I don't want it to end so soon. I will miss getting to see you Christine, so glad you enjoyed yourself. I am pretty sure Kait is going to miss Charlie a bunch. Thanks for taking us all along.💟
Oh, I don't want the trip to end. This has been the best, most heart-warming series. I loved it all. Mom was great and you guys were fantastic. What a wonderful family. You are blessed!
We really enjoyed this Summer with Mom series. Loved hearing things from her perspective and seeing a senior (like myself) getting out there enjoying many things life has to offer. We’ll miss ya Mom! And Charlie looks so sweet too.
Really loved your series with your mom! She’s so cute and looks fantastic! You guys are really special for spending quality time with your mom. Love Charlie too! Looking forward to more videos and hope your mom will be back too!
This is a great series. My wife and I enjoyed every episode. We watched them all more than once. Now Mom needs to get her own Overland Storyteller and travel with Charlie. Great job by the Russo family. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos.
The Summer With Mom series was an incredible gift. Just a complete delight from start to finish. Thank you so much for sharing your family adventure. So many places I now want to experience with my own eyes (and with a yellow lab co pilot). The video/editing/voice over quality continues to be some of the best on TH-cam! Cheers and thank you!
I watched ever episode of the summer with mom and enjoyed them all. Great entertainment and such a beautiful way to add positive videos to my summer. Thank you
I have enjoyed watching all of your videos with mom. We took my mom from Indiana to Florida several years ago. I’m so glad we did, as she is gone now. Making memories is the best!
I am so glad you had this opportunity to roadtrip with your Mom. What a wonderful adventure watching all of you and her excitement see this beautiful country ❤
These past 10 episodes have been wonderful. You all will cherish this trip. My parents were wonderful at taking my sister and I on trips across country in our trailer. We visited Yellowstone twice with them, as well as going across country from Calif, to Wisconsin 3x in my life. Those trips are special to me. Thanks so much.
Boohoo!!! I'm about to cry too! Mom, I loved watching you!! You bring a great new perspective to the mix!. Hopefully, this won't be your last series....hint, hint :-) I am looking forward to the next series.
I really loved this series and looked forward to the next one but, now it has come to the end. Joe and Kait Thank You for bringing this series and mom Thank You for putting up with the camera in your face this whole vacation. Many blessings and prayers to you and your family. God Bless!!
I am going to miss "Summer with mom." My mother is the same age and loved all the videos. I watched every one with her. She was hoping for more. Mom you are a van lifer now. You need to make an appearance once in a while. You were definitely doing great on those hikes. It was great to get to get to "meet you" so to speak. Be well and again, dont be a stranger.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures! Mom is a trooper for joining in. My husband and I camp in our self converted Sprinter, 114” wheelbase and have a deep appreciation for what it takes to peacefully get along in that small space.
What an experience to have with Mom. You will cherish for the rest of your life . Many of us never had an opportunity to do what you did, all the best , NJ .
What a sweet time you three have shared this summer! Priceless memories that those of us watching have witnessed. Good luck Mom Russo as you head home. You are a real trooper.
I will miss this “Summer with Mom Series” we all shared in her joy & excitement as we witnessed her first experiences along the journey. Kate is a gem of a daughter-in-law, and wife; what a blessing she is to you all. I really liked your voice editing and explaining what was transpiring, very well done. I was blessed to see your caring love of your Mom throughout the whole journey; she will miss that cup of love ❤️ ☕️ you handed her everyday.
Love your mom! She made this adventure special. For us adult children, it challenges us to think of an adventure we can do with our parents. They have spent their lives giving to us and what a blessing it would be to carve out some quality time and share something like this with them. I love it.
I was thrilled to watch this series. Your Mom received a gift many parents would love. Your time. The idea for her to use hotels was a good one. Each person needs some independent time to give each other a break. As for Kait, you are an amazing daughter in law. Looking forward to new adventures for you all. Bless you and safe travels.
I lost my Dad last year at 89 years old. For the last ten or fifteen years I took trips with him, usually to First Marine Division Association Reunions. The memories from those trips are priceless, and I'm glad you're getting to make memories with your Mom.
Thank you Russos for sharing your adventures with mama Russo. Christine, it was such a pleasure to get to know you thru this adventure with your son and DIL. What wonderful memories you have all made and shared with all of us. Thank u so much. I love this channel. Please keep in touch, Christine, with this group. 😊❤
Thank you so much for a wonderful Series! You are all such a beautiful family! You will forever eternally cherish all the wonderful memories you have had on this trip. Mom is a trooper and Kait, you are a sweetheart for understanding that this really was Mom and your Hubby's bonding trip! Far off in the future, you will look back on this trip and it'll put a smile on your face as you recollect the memories. Thanks again, stay safe and healthy!
Your mom is the best. Several times watching this series I found myself smiling at her sweet demeanor. I hope she has an epic road trip with her friend and Charlie.
I know many sons would not do what you have done for your mom, kuddos to you & Kate. She totally stayed ghosted to allow you & your mom to have your time......beyond thoughtful & caring.
your mom is 16 years older than me but she could kick my ass on her hikes! She is beyond inspirational. I want to do what she is doing and I am going to adopt her mindset and grit! What an great series and I am sad that this was the end of the trip for your mom. A shout out to Kate for hanging back and letting this series be about you and your mom. I love both of you and warms my heart you brought your mom along.

@@Weretherussos I think she should get to choose the next place you go and perhaps a few days without editing or filming or mapping things. Just spoil the daylights out of her.

Although I love Joe and Kait's videos. They have been extra special with mom and Charley! Mom is such a doll! Safe travels on getting mom home!
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed them.
Just wanted to say I truly enjoyed the whole trip with your mom! But am excited to see what’s instore for you two! Tell your mom to check in periodically so we can see what she’s up to! We will miss her!
Thanks, Pamela. I'm certainly going to miss being on the road with the kids.
Will do Pamela!

It couldn't have been better - a dream really but one I'm willing to do over and over again
Love your mom. Old school, appreciates people, places and the gets pleasure from the little things in life. Hopefully you will have her more in the future.
Thanks, Chris. I expect to have lots more - hope you do too

I have love watching these videos with Christine “Mom” Russo, Joe and the best daughter in law in the planet, Kait. Truly enjoyable and what family is all about. You will not look back and think, I always wanted to do that or why didn’t we. Have to admit it made me wee bit emotional too. Sad to see it end and thankful you shared it. ❤️ and blessings to you all.
I was so sad to have it end - but something has to end so another can start :)
Can’t wait for your next installment with mom on the road! How about boondocking the west coast with mom?! Thanks Kate you’re fantastic as well!
Hey I know you will be glad to get your life back BUT having said that.. it's so valuable that you spent this time with your mom.
Absolutely - trip of a lifetime.
So sad it’s over! Mom, you are one “bad ass gal” 👏👍❤️
I like that, Alexa! I think that's how I'll introduce myself now.
Nooooooooo!! I don't want this series to end! I have loved seeing all of these places through Mom's eyes. I loved your humor, mom, and your tenacity. Thanks to you all for the meaningful fun. Perhaps, I'll miss Charley most of all.
This has been my favorite series EVER!!!
Mine too! Thanks for watching
Aw, look at Kait and Charley cuddling at the end. So sweet!
Charley can't get enough of Kait :)

This has been a beautiful series. I actually teared up at the end. Mom is now my hero. Thank you all so much for sharing this with us!
I had a hard time not crying but then I just did - sad to see it end but then it had to so another adventure could start
Mom is terrific. She has a wonderful son and daughter-in-law. Just loved this series.

HI MOM, really enjoyed watching this series, going to miss you Christine, you added an interesting twist.
My Yellowstone story.
Roll back the calendar to 1966.
I was 8 years old.
My family went on a huge road trip for our summer holidays.
We were living on Vancouver Island. First we went to Alberta then headed south from there. Furthest south was San Diego.
I remember parts and pieces of the trip. Of course the highlight was going to Disneyland but I do have some pretty clear memories of Yellowstone. I have very vivid memories of old faithful, walking some of the trails around the pools of hot water, the paint pots.
To have such vivid memories of this place must mean that it really meant something to my 8 year old self.
It is a place that has been calling me for years, I will get back there.
We went on another big family vacation in 1971 to Hawaii for Christmas. After that I turned into a surely teenager that didn't want to have anything to do with his parents because they were "uncool". If only I had known that my mom would pass away in 1980.
I wish that I could have been able to take my mom on a trip like this.
I read your story with interest; don't feel bad. You did many things with your mom before she passed and that's what is important. I love the area your were from. Vancouver Island is one of my most favorite places
I hope there will be more “Mom Trips” in the future! Great Summer with Mom series! We enjoyed it so much! ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks !!!
We enjoyed you more, Momma Russo! I'm 67 as of a few weeks ago. I've so enjoyed it! I would love to see you going in a van for a couple of weeks / months! I want one too! It would be interesting to watch YOUR adventures at your pace! Thank y'all for sharing!
It is said that : “The older we get, the faster times flies by”! Of course this isn’t true, bec time is a constant! But, those 10wks FLEW BY SO QUICKLY” lol! It’s been so awesome watching these SUMMERTIME ADVENTURES, I wish you four did a bonus two extra weeks for our enjoyment 😅😜
Have a safe trip going back to LA 🤗😘
thanks, Robert. I see time like a cartoon clock when the hands start going faster and faster
I have enjoyed watching the summer with mom. It warms my heart to see the love all of you have shared. Christine, it was a joy to see you enjoyed the trip.
Thanks for enjoying it with us, Elia
Good job Joe. Taking mom around Yellowstone is something you'll remember forever. Thanks for the POI tips, I marked them down for my trip there next year.

This was a fun series!

Thanks, Bonnie. Charley and I are sad too - hate for it to be over.
Oh, I don't want the trip to end. This has been the best, most heart-warming series. I loved it all. Mom was great and you guys were fantastic. What a wonderful family. You are blessed!
We are blessed and so happy to have viewers like you who support the channel and take time to comment
Lamar Valley is a wonderful place. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
We really enjoyed this Summer with Mom series. Loved hearing things from her perspective and seeing a senior (like myself) getting out there enjoying many things life has to offer. We’ll miss ya Mom! And Charlie looks so sweet too.
Thanks. We really loved this trip and time together
Really loved your series with your mom! She’s so cute and looks fantastic! You guys are really special for spending quality time with your mom. Love Charlie too! Looking forward to more videos and hope your mom will be back too!
I love how your wife gave you time alone with mom. She is soo sweet.
This is a great series. My wife and I enjoyed every episode. We watched them all more than once. Now Mom needs to get her own Overland Storyteller and travel with Charlie. Great job by the Russo family. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos.
The Summer With Mom series was an incredible gift. Just a complete delight from start to finish. Thank you so much for sharing your family adventure. So many places I now want to experience with my own eyes (and with a yellow lab co pilot). The video/editing/voice over quality continues to be some of the best on TH-cam! Cheers and thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing the journey with us
I watched ever episode of the summer with mom and enjoyed them all. Great entertainment and such a beautiful way to add positive videos to my summer. Thank you
Thanks, David. It was a wonderful time.
She a cutie and joe and Kate are great son and daughter
I have enjoyed watching all of your videos with mom. We took my mom from Indiana to Florida several years ago. I’m so glad we did, as she is gone now. Making memories is the best!
That is awesome!
Lung cancer survivor doing all this - your mom is AMAZING!! ❤️
Thank you!
Wow. 10 weeks already! Enjoyable trip with you and ur wife and mom - and doggie too! Thanks for ur post!!
Our pleasure! Can't believe it's over.
It's been great to watch. So glad you took the time with your Mom. This will be a great memory for you all. Life is to short not to do these things.
I am so glad you had this opportunity to roadtrip with your Mom. What a wonderful adventure watching all of you and her excitement see this beautiful country ❤
These past 10 episodes have been wonderful. You all will cherish this trip. My parents were wonderful at taking my sister and I on trips across country in our trailer. We visited Yellowstone twice with them, as well as going across country from Calif, to Wisconsin 3x in my life. Those trips are special to me. Thanks so much.
This has been a fun series! Thanks for sharing Mom with us.
Boohoo!!! I'm about to cry too! Mom, I loved watching you!! You bring a great new perspective to the mix!. Hopefully, this won't be your last series....hint, hint :-) I am looking forward to the next series.
I'm sad it's over but then it has to be so another adventure can start!
I really loved this series and looked forward to the next one but, now it has come to the end. Joe and Kait Thank You for bringing this series and mom Thank You for putting up with the camera in your face this whole vacation. Many blessings and prayers to you and your family. God Bless!!
I'm going to miss Summer with mom series. 😢 I hope we get to see Joe's mom in future videos 🙏
Thanks, BC.
This was such a special trip for all of you. Thank you for sharing it with us!
I am going to miss "Summer with mom." My mother is the same age and loved all the videos. I watched every one with her. She was hoping for more. Mom you are a van lifer now. You need to make an appearance once in a while. You were definitely doing great on those hikes. It was great to get to get to "meet you" so to speak. Be well and again, dont be a stranger.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures! Mom is a trooper for joining in. My husband and I camp in our self converted Sprinter, 114” wheelbase and have a deep appreciation for what it takes to peacefully get along in that small space.
What an experience to have with Mom. You will cherish for the rest of your life . Many of us never had an opportunity to do what you did, all the best , NJ .
Waiting for you two to come up to Northern New Jersey & Delaware Water Gap so I can give you the Dollar tour and a little re supply.
Mom's energy is electrifying. Love her outfits as well.
WOW that is kind. I really got tired wearing the same things over and over!
so happy you were able to take mom on this trip. what i'd give to have been able to take my mom on a trip like that before she had passed.
We're happy everything worked out and we could take her. It was a special summer.
What a sweet time you three have shared this summer! Priceless memories that those of us watching have witnessed. Good luck Mom Russo as you head home. You are a real trooper.
It was such fun, Susan. Thanks for watching
I will miss this “Summer with Mom Series” we all shared in her joy & excitement as we witnessed her first experiences along the journey. Kate is a gem of a daughter-in-law, and wife; what a blessing she is to you all. I really liked your voice editing and explaining what was transpiring, very well done. I was blessed to see your caring love of your Mom throughout the whole journey; she will miss that cup of love ❤️ ☕️ you handed her everyday.
You have everything right, DeAnna. I was spoiled - making my own coffee every day now -
Honestly, gonna miss your mom! She was awesome!
Love your mom! She made this adventure special. For us adult children, it challenges us to think of an adventure we can do with our parents. They have spent their lives giving to us and what a blessing it would be to carve out some quality time and share something like this with them. I love it.
I was thrilled to watch this series. Your Mom received a gift many parents would love. Your time. The idea for her to use hotels was a good one. Each person needs some independent time to give each other a break. As for Kait, you are an amazing daughter in law. Looking forward to new adventures for you all. Bless you and safe travels.
I lost my Dad last year at 89 years old. For the last ten or fifteen years I took trips with him, usually to First Marine Division Association Reunions. The memories from those trips are priceless, and I'm glad you're getting to make memories with your Mom.
Awww. This series was too short. Your mom is a such sweetheart. I enjoyed it tremendously.
Take care everyone.
Thank you Russos for sharing your adventures with mama Russo. Christine, it was such a pleasure to get to know you thru this adventure with your son and DIL. What wonderful memories you have all made and shared with all of us. Thank u so much. I love this channel. Please keep in touch, Christine, with this group. 😊❤
What a great adventure with your mom! You will always have this memory to treasure. You are such a good son & DIL. Your mom rocks!!!
Thank you so much for a wonderful Series! You are all such a beautiful family! You will forever eternally cherish all the wonderful memories you have had on this trip. Mom is a trooper and Kait, you are a sweetheart for understanding that this really was Mom and your Hubby's bonding trip! Far off in the future, you will look back on this trip and it'll put a smile on your face as you recollect the memories. Thanks again, stay safe and healthy!
All moms needs this love
I miss my mom... so glad you guys got to share this time together.
Your mom is the best. Several times watching this series I found myself smiling at her sweet demeanor. I hope she has an epic road trip with her friend and Charlie.
Yellowstone is BEAUTIFUL! I want to go someday. You guys are amazing! 😊
You should!
I'm going to miss your mom! This has been a wonderful series. Thanks for doing it. I teared up a bit too, to think the trip is over!
I'm sad it's over but then happy looking forward to new adventures. Thanks for watching, Dawn
Best series ever! Mom for the win!
Mom. You will be missed!
Thanks, Cindy and I will miss being on the road with the kids
@@christinerusso7822 I'm sure you will. I have a son who is 39. Time with him is precious.
Joe's mom is the best. We will miss her. We hope there will be more videos with her and Charlie in the future.
Really enjoyed this series, Mom is a treasure!
You are a treasure for watching and supporting us. Thank you, Barb
I know many sons would not do what you have done for your mom, kuddos to you & Kate. She totally stayed ghosted to allow you & your mom to have your time......beyond thoughtful & caring.
your mom is 16 years older than me but she could kick my ass on her hikes! She is beyond inspirational. I want to do what she is doing and I am going to adopt her mindset and grit! What an great series and I am sad that this was the end of the trip for your mom. A shout out to Kate for hanging back and letting this series be about you and your mom. I love both of you and warms my heart you brought your mom along.
Thanks for sharing your mom with your viewers. She is a trooper.
💖 Joe, get a bigger rig so mom can go with ya. I bet she would be great at camp hosting. She's a doll.👍👍
Thanks, Joe -I loved our Van. Don't really need anything bigger
I can't agree more. The three if them together make such a great mix . . opinions are wonderful and honest . . big thumbs up :)
