Can I just take a second to say how much I love Kevin and for the father he is! He makes me want to cry. My dad died when I was 11 months old and I'm a single mom of 4, and when Kevin said how proud he was of Emily my heart welled up :) He seems like such a gentle man.

[@TheWaldockWay]

I am so sorry about your dad. 💕 Kevin is an AMAZING father!

[@monikakamila]

Emily is so polite Yes please 😍

[@TheWaldockWay]

Not always, but thank you!!!!

[@hettydejong9635]

[@TheWaldockWay]

On your trip to Shenandoah check out Lurray Caverns if you have the time. My husband and I lived in MD for 3 years before kids and drove down to Shenandoah every weekend after work to camp. It is an absolutely gorgeous place!!! There are many easy/short hikes to incredible views. We purchased a National Park book from the ranger station and it had hundreds of hikes. There was a more moderate one I want to say 5ish miles but you saw a 90 foot waterfall check it out!!!!

[@TheWaldockWay]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Urolove]

Come on up to the Northeast! We don't have any mosquitoes right now. ☺️

[@TheWaldockWay]

We made our way up to Shenendoah but that is as far north as we got on this trip.

[@wildlingsacademyhomeschool8081]

How fun! We go to South Carolina every year, maybe next summer my kiddos will be old enough that we can go! We’ll be sure to check the mosquito meter first though. 😉😂

[@TheWaldockWay]

Yes, check that meter 🤣🤣

[@nancystevens8475]

Bless your hearts! So many mosquitoes! Adventuring isn't always easy!

[@TheWaldockWay]

It definitely is not! But it's ALWAYS worth it!

[@BRICKclickASMR]

You should look into thermacells for the mosquitoes. You can get them from amazon. If you haven't heard of them they are amazing. We have two, one stationary and one we can carry with us on a hike. They work amazingly. We camped next to a pond for two nights I didn't have any mosquito bites or even hear them in my ear except the morning before we turned it on I heard a mosquito and got bit by it and I immediately turned it on, nothing after that. They are literally the best purchase I have ever made. I hate mosquitoes with a passion and the sound of them ugh!! Btw love the video and your family is so adorable. :)

[@TheWaldockWay]

Thanks! 😘😘

[@Mandolin319]

yeah I would have been going crazy with all those mosquitoes

[@TheWaldockWay]

It was really funny they never bit me but they were EVERYWHERE!

[@Mandolin319]

@@TheWaldockWay oh man. I get bit immediately. Fortunately, my daughter never does, but I get bit with spray and the bracelets... Haha

[@BRICKclickASMR]

@@Mandolin319 Try thermacells they are amazing. I'm like you.
