Surviving a Winter Storm in our Van (snowed in)

[@flyingthenest]

HEY EVERYONE!! Welcome back to a BRAND new van life video here in the US - as we get snowed in during our time in Colorado! Hope you're enjoying the series - what else should we see??

[@NZKiwi87]

Isn’t weed legal in Colorado?! 😂 hahahah jks Love seeing Koa experiencing everything (esp the hot pools) & Jess you made the right call on that giant swing thing, holy heck! I LOVE that Hunter isn’t frightened of things like caves and whatnot, you’ve given her such an incredible childhood & zest for life - well done team! Much love from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤

[@wanderingkashlee6983]

Are you guys going to be doing meet and greets while in the United States???

[@SusanGale-xd9qp]

I love how you have just gone with the flow and not let anything ruin your trip.

[@flyingthenest]

hehe the snow was super fun in the van!

[@nicoleziegler6112]

Koa truly is the chillest baby! And as a Canadian I feel it's my duty to tell you that you always try and clean the snow off the front window with a brush first, before you use the wipers! Otherwise the weight of the snow can break the windshield wipers!😉

[@Shibalvr]

I thought we used credit cards…here in US😮😮😅😅

[@jonorton303]

Right! Or in case the wipers are frozen to the windshield!

[@ou8venus2]

Just the fact that you are around your whole family 24/7 is amazing to me. I love how you get to spend so much time with your kids. Very lucky people. I adore you and and pray for your safe travels. Lisa-North Carolina

[@flyingthenest]

Honestly biggest thing that we are thankful for for this channel, not all the amazing travel we get to do but that our job allows us to spend so much time together :)

You are blessed with love, hapiness and two wonderful children. You are the best Australians1

You are so kind!!

[@emlizw1]

It's so nice to see Utah is not the only state that can't make up it's mind on the weather LOL. It is possible to have snow in June in Utah, but it melts the same day or the next day here. I've always said to co-workers who are from out of state. If you can survive your first winter here you will be golden. It's not so much the snow it's the drivers with that statement LOL. I think we can add that to Colorado as well. You and Jess are pros now!!! Oh hot springs sound so nice!! Those are even better when it is cold outside! It's like a hot tub in winter. Hunter's little clip is so cut. Wow those ice caves are so cool!!!

[@vickymurphy9110]

I love tagging along for your adventures, my children are late teens/early twenties but reminds me of our travels in the early days of our family. What great adventures your children are having, enjoy the travels x

[@stephanieharman8664]

So glad you were able to enjoy one of my very favorite places in my home state! Glenwood Springs is such a beautiful place and so many fun things to do.

[@ChrisSmith-sd4pw]

@flyingthenest oh how fun!! Love how the family enjoys the snow!! You shoulda stopped in Durango CO...just down the road from Glenwood Springs and over the mountains!! We have an old Steam Locomotive train!!!!

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Jesse a hat off to you with your packing and prep ( having winter clothing also with you for Hunter & Koa ) 😜 Had to giggle at Stephan jumping out the van in his Shots 😂 Brrr🥶. That was some Snow storm 😮 . OMG that Swing 🤢🫣 thats Not for the Faint hearted or scared of heights 🫢. Beautiful/ Stunning Footage 😂Koa facial expressions are just the Cutest,best 🫶.

That’s funny you had a bagel sandwich. I make them often here in Oklahoma and before I watched your vlog this afternoon I had one for lunch with turkey, avocado and provolone cheese. Colorado is my favorite state to visit and we may have been there at the same time. Glad you had snow for kids to enjoy!

This gave me so so so much joy, I grew up in Florida but went to High School in Northern Michigan and College in Upstate New York so snow was definitely an alien concept for me. I'd literally tell friends, work colleagues etc- I know how to prep for a hurricane but for a blizzard?? Um, can we still make S'mores? 🤣⛄❄
