[@roypase8488]

Carson graduating and your thoughts at the end were the best part...Very proud og him and the values you as parents instilled in him! America needs more people like you!

[@gregormiller4037]

I know that og was intentional :)

[@dorismosley2107]

And the rest of 🌍 🫶

[@captainsteve19]

Agreed, That was beautiful Trish! yet another masterful edit Mark. & Congrats Carson

[@gregemoates1729]

You deserve to be Proud of Carson he was raised right and that will always come through with respect. Congrats Carson!

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Congratulations Carson! Trish, you had me crying when you told the story of the female janitor, and father.

[@kellyhale9086]

Me too! I was crying right along with her!

[@paulettesera8534]

So was I! Such a wonderful “proud mom” moment!

[@For-theloveoflife]

It’s my rule that no one cries alone. In person or on screen. Trish, I appreciate the vulnerability you showed us. It’s so true we stress on the suppose to be when we need to just take a breath and relax. Good for you and yay Carson

[@roxanneturner5761]

So was I! You raised your children right, I don't think you have to remind them of manners! Thanks for sharing your life with all of us.

[@bonnied3550]

Trish, I believe your message resonates with many of your followers. Thank you for being vulnerable to share❤️ Great job Dad&Mom❤️😃👍🏼

[@sarahdowelladventures]

Crying with you, Trish! So meaningful.. Thanks for sharing this moment with us! All moms needed to hear this.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

😭…mee too !

[@yz2538]

So true. That part of Carson grown up to be a kind and generous independent character was so teachable for us as viewers too 🤧

[@laurakilmer8652]

When other people compliment your kids, you know you have done a great job raising them. pretty great mom and Dad

[@loriw2661]

Trish……I remember that moment. That moment I realized that my beautiful daughter, who is 23 and a MP in the Army (a Sergeant), is able to handle things on a daily basis without my oversight. Without the need for ME to explain how things need to go. It’s a proud moment. Sad and ecstatic at the same time. But very, very proud!! I was in tears with you while watching you speak, so proudly, about Carson.

[@theresalind8031]

The poignant part of you "Momming" was realizing even when you weren't there to do it, he was shining all along! Congratulations to all!! Thanks for sharing. ( Charlie, you're beautiful.)

[@Chasing-Wow-Moments]

Congratulations to all of you! Thank you for being vulnerable at the end, Trish. Those moments you shared tell me you raised a wonderful young man of integrity and kindness to everyone. You must be so proud!!

[@dianeschebetta1656]

Poor Gary. 😂😂😂. He will have a stable home now. I really didn’t think you could have a better video than last Sunday but you did. Love it.

[@dorkladytravels]

“Me and my Berkey, anywhere!” LOL, totally agree!!! 🤣 …And fast wi-fi, most important of all! 😍

[@ballen2179]

Congratulations you two must be so proud to of raised such a fantastic young man. You made us tear up as well. May God continue to bless all your family and may you travel in Gods favor and blessing. ❤️

[@edbenson98]

Usually when you cry it's because you're sad but those were tears of joy knowing that you have raised your son the right way!

[@craigpochert6263]

Proud parent moment! I'm not crying, you're crying! Congratulations Carson!

[@justlookin3]

Me; having grown up at Culver, that’s such a remarkable achievement for Carson to accomplish. I went to 5 years of Woodcraft Camp and then 4 years to Graduate as a Company Commander at Culver and 2 years as a Camp Counselor at Woodcraft, I have a front row on what it takes to successfully accomplish what Carson did. He did great. Congratulations!

[@kimsmelcer8036]

Crying right now. Trish touched my mama heart. So proud of our boy and both of you for the way you raised him. Thank you for showing your vulnerability and putting me back in touch with all these special mama feelings.

[@tanya334]

Congratulations Carson 🥳 Nothing wrong with showing the pride we have in our children and knowing he/she really listened !! Nothing better 😢 Well done Mom and Dad 🥰

[@justanaprilzepher1795]

My husband and I visited the Bird at the RV Museum 2 days ago!!!! It was so freakin cool!!!!

[@krzsrh]

I am going in 2 weeks...do they allow you on the Bird?

[@marvawiebe4364]

I'm sure I wasn't the only mom that teared up with you, Trish! You and Marc have raised a young man to be proud of! Yay, Carson!

[@sammy2502]

Heyy!! Our camper is right next to yours! It’s the Apache 1972! It’s orange on the sides! So cool 9:32 14:29

[@ronaldpenczek9503]

The emotional cry when you see you raised a good human is great. Gratz to Carson and family.

[@matthewedwards3550]

Trish, you must be SO PROUD!!! you have raised your children well ... CONTINUED BLESSINGS TO YOU BEAUTIFUL MOMMA!!!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Your kids are awesome. They are all so polite, kind, well mannered and delightful. You can be so proud. It is wonderful to get a peek into our adult kids daily lives and learn how others see them. So rewarding. I too shed a few tears as you were telling us the special heartwarming stories of the janitor and dad. Congratulations to Carson. Embry-Rittle here he comes.

[@andyjohnson6424]

That was maybe the best ending ever. These kids find ways to make us proud parents without ever knowing.

[@gjones9842]

We need a lot of Carson’s, Caleb’s, and Victorias in this world to help the older generations make this country the best it can be. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevem4560]

Trish had me in tears! Mark and Trish you are outstanding parents and people! Love watching each week. Thank you.

[@sherriitsamea3476]

There is truly nothing better than seeing our children succeeding in life without us. Congrats to all of you. Trish made me cry but it’s because I so understand. My son heads off to Clemson in a month 😮

[@susanc1265]

Most everyone would put on their best behavior, their best face for a king or a president. The best kinds of folks treat everyone that same way in their daily lives, being just as thoughtful and caring. Carter’s character is golden! So glad you got to see that to carry in your heart about your son❣️

[@jonesingaround3260]

It's so hard to imagine I've been watching yall for like 6 years. Since you're first trip where yall had the blowout on the bumper pull. I remember all your kids being so young. Congrats on the graduation

[@cdrsfrg]

It is quite evident that your kids have been brought up well. You had tears in my eyes watching how proud you are of Carson.

[@castironbackroads6592]

The episode started out hilarious with Gary's comment about the stability of the Bird then ended with a truly beautiful moment with Trish. Thank you for sharing the laughter and happy tears of a mom who realizes the gifts of being a parent. You know it, but when you see the impact that your child has on people who are strangers to you, it makes it all worthwhile! Safe and happy travels to your family!!

[@hendrickson792]

Congratulations to Carson and the wonderful parents who raised him to be such an honorable man. I couldn't help crying with you, Trish. Loved seeing your success.

[@stevedenoyer5956]

That bird is such an icon! Very neat and great resting place for her. It looks amazing. Love the nostalgia. Imagine the stories she could tell?

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Trish, those unsolicited praises for/about our children from random people are the indicators that we did our job raising good outstanding members of society, despite our mess-ups. 🥰 Though I think you failed Gary, he needs sticky tac to hold him in place! 🤣

[@carolpreston8781]

Trish, it's great to see your vulnerability and love for your kids! Don't ever apologize for crying! And we're visiting the RV museum next month--can't wait to see the Bird!

[@JJ-Journeys]

From chuckling about Gary hitting the windshield to getting choked up listening to Trish, this was one of your best videos. You guys have done an awesome job raising your kids and you deserve to be proud. Congrats to Carson!

[@kimproffer695]

Congratulations to Carson and to mom and dad for raising not one, but 3 seriously awesome kids!

[@mamafromhawaii]

Teared up seeing Trish be so proud of her son. The love and time you both have invested in your kids and family is obvious, it’s inspiring! Congrats Carson

[@rickwatson1000]

Carson Congratulations !!! Mom & Dad this shows that you've do your job as parents three times . True roll models

[@morpheuszzz662]

Good job, Momma. You raised a good boy. I teared up with you when you were telling your story at the end about how others appreciated Carson's kindness. That was the best. Amazingly beautiful family photos too!

[@stewartmcguire8307]

We got to see the Bird when we were in Elkhart back in June! We got a picture of us in front of the Bird with Gary in the picture! I gather since we were not able to go inside the Bird we must have been there before they prepped it for display.

[@sallybergsma9308]

A mom victory for Trish! When my son graduated from boot camp I think I cried for three days! So dang proud of our young people who choose the military as a career. My husband is a 30 year Navy man so it means a lot to us to see the young men and women have a desire to serve. On a lighter note, my son worked at the Hall of Fame and talked to you guys and helped make the arrangements for the bird. He is now working at the state house in Indianapolis so he wasn’t there when the Bird arrived but I was there to visit last week and she looks great!

[@paula.jackson5463]

Proverbs 27:2, God was all over those moments! You two are exceptional Parents! I was in tears.......

[@miguelpulido2571]

Those tears of joy are the fruit of your hard work and respect you have taught your son congratulations to you all

[@ellemarie4271]

I just stopped by to say Thank You to Trish. A few years ago I listened to every episode of your podcast, I was in a loveless marriage and wanted nothing more than to travel. Your inspirational words kept me going and now after the marriage dissolved I am full-time international traveler. Thank you so much, you don't know how much your words and work mean to me.

[@tomd.benjamin762]

SO proud of Carson and so happy for your family! It shouldn’t be a surprise that he represented you, your family & values the way he did - you raised him to do so. But as a father I totally get it! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[@historicalmarkers]

Love your channel! We just got back from a two-week trip from St. George, UT (home), to Glacier NP and back in our 30' Airstream International. My wife and I and our 4 kids. I started watching your videos over two years ago because they were just fun and entertaining. Never thought we would buy an airstream. You motivated us to take the plunge! While we are not full time, we just had the best vacation we have ever had with our kids, ages ranging from 15 to 5. Thanks for your positivity and wonderful story telling. We are so excited for our future travels.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We were just there too!

[@historicalmarkers]

@@KeepYourDaydream I knew you were hoping to do the Narrows through hike. So awesome! Can't wait to see your trip report. I had meant to reach out to offer our property up on Kolob mountain for your to camp on. I can email you the details for another time, but you are always welcome.

[@vitaminbp1]

The graduation and the end was super cool, what those people said about Carson! Especially when it's someone who works a job that many people overlook or look down on, you know you've raised that kid right. What awesome moments!!

[@industrialexitstrategist2022]

Y'all are the sweetest couple. I have 2 kids in college. I somewhat relate to your tears of joy. Im 51, a solo empty neater, full time RV Nomad. Thank you for being so genuine.

[@silasollegario]

That was one of my very favorite episodes EVER! Trish's comments at the end made my wife and I cry. We've just found out that we are pregnant with our first child, and the hope and the goals we have for our child is that we get to teach him/her how to be amazing human beings, who will cause an impact on people's lives even when mom and dad are not around. Congratulations to Carson, and to the entire Leach family for raising these incredible kids!

[@DaisyAndCompany]

Y'all keep making me cry. First the MGB and now the Proud Mommy Moment after Carson's graduation. I've been watching your channel since the beginning and I love your family so much. Keep inspiring! ❤️

[@lucymccormick1947]

What an exciting time! Carson graduating and leaving the Bird at the museum! I love it. I will definitely be stopping by to see it. Thanks for sharing these momentous moments.

[@arlendavis]

So Glad for you.... Especially Trish. Your sons Grad was very special... and the things you learned about him... you deserve to be proud parents.

[@ladikmk]

Congratulations Carson! Those were happy tears Trish, and the very best kind. You have raised wonderful children who are a testament to your values and the kindness that you show to others. I’m going to miss seeing that big, beautiful Bird, but so many people are going to be able to enjoy her now at the RV Museum. She is more than worthy of being in that special place. Thanks for sharing her with all of us. Wishing you safe travels; stay well.

[@dodemoco]

From one mom to another - I cried with you, Trish! 💙

[@noahtramposh3350]

you guys deserve to be proud of the young man you have raised. He is an absolutely outstanding individual and will continue to climb and do great things.

[@taylorvance5932]

Congratulations Carson! And Mark & Trish! How many thousands of us are out here cheering you all on? Love you all so much!

[@lindad768]

Wow! What an amazing son! You brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing such an important part of your private life with all of us. Your family is truly inspiring!

[@Dimino519]

As a long time follower - it's been a pleasure getting to watch your kids grow into such beautiful people. Congratulations to Carson!

[@ridingtheroad185]

Parents always wonder how others see our children/adults. Special moments like that are when we find out. It's showing us we did our jobs well.

[@kenvalliere7906]

Congratulations to Carson on his graduation. I'm so glad Trish got to see that special moment when she was helping to pack up his room. You guys are special people, and we're lucky you share your adventure with us. The jalepeno/taco flavor is excellent in scrambled eggs. God bless you both.

[@ChrisSmith-dw7gl]

Congratulations Carson!!! Good timing Pinned my son with his OKCFD badge at his graduation Friday. Don't they make us proud

[@LJ-pp9wj]

Congratulations Carson! And the Bird. Be proud you’ve raised Good men. Carry on

[@35thvert1]

I'm not crying, you're crying! OMG, the best episode yet. Great job Carson.

[@jeanvoss3595]

Trish you are right. It's the unexpected moments that show you what a terrific person your children have become. A woman came up and complimented our grown daughter on how well behaved her girls were at a restaurant. After the woman walked away my daughter started crying. It is those little recognitions that stay with you forever. Congrats to Carson!

[@lindseys4978]

The Bird is cool but the graduation and Trish seeing Carson’s character and impact on his time at Culver was the best. Tears are so good Trish. Thanks for sharing those moments with us. It’s be so easy to cut them out.

[@marydelfico8406]

Congratulations Carson! On to bigger and better things. Trish I was crying with you. You and Marc have brought up 3 great kids. The Bird looks great in her new spot. I love the cut outs of Gary and Charlie. Safe travels!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I put off watching this special video a couple days because I knew it would make me cry and it did. Truly so happy for your family, The Bird and congratulations Carson!🇺🇸

[@chkwgn460]

Great video. The memory of Rt 66, the museum and proud parents at the graduation. Congrats to all.

[@travelingcatphotos]

Congrats Carson! There are some really big milestones in this video. You guys all looked amazing at his Graduation. And I think every parent can appreciate your emotions over that day and those precious moments. Looking forward to seeing where your Summer travel takes you all!

[@MyParamedicAfterLife]

😀 “we’ve been there” is our most used line now. Thanks for your inspiration over the years. 👍🏻

[@Pchorney]

We saw the Bird out front of the RV hall of Fame a few days ago as we were driving our rig across Indiana on I80! Yell to my wife, hey thats the Bird.

[@Kevin-ex2yb]

I'm not crying, you're crying. Love it! Congratulations!!

[@amypletcher4411]

You guys are so sweet and lucky to have such respectful children!!!

[@richardgerster6526]

Trish I can see the pride you have in your kids. That’s awesome

[@bobbygriffith1429]

One of the best videos EVER! Proud mom & dad moment! Congratulations Carson! Good luck son!

[@michellebarg334]

Really enjoyed this episode! As many have already commented, as a mama of a 19 year old boy, I cried with you and loved that you shared those golden nuggets at the end of the video. Thank for choosing to do that. My heart is filled for you Trish. It’s moments like those that are God’s hand on your shoulder saying to you and Mark “great work my good and faithful servants”. Congratulations Carson and blessings to you on your next chapter!❤️

[@allabouttires1941]

Happy tears , they are the BEST Tears to have from your children , great job to you and Mark. And to your 3 young (children) adults, (The world will be a better place because of you.) Great job all of you.

[@melissasheridan6480]

Congratulations Carson. Always nice to have the special moments that reminds us as parents, that we did alright by our children. My oldest is a US army National Guard.

[@jeanprichard5259]

Trish, I was tearing up with you. I felt the same way when my son graduated from the Marine Corp at Parris Island. He went on to Basic Combat Engineering at Camp Lejeune. Two tours in Iraq and now a Police Officer, husband and Dad I two beautiful kiddos. Congratulations Carson🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@maniegrobler411]

Congrats Carson! And congrats Mark and Trichia, you raised him well. You guys are such a beautiful and inspirational family! Thank you for sharing all the ups and downs with us...

[@jenniferrodriguez-bp2wt]

Congratulations Carson!!! I'm sure your future will be bright. Trish and Marc, how special that was to see the affect Carson had on those around him. It was great to see the whole family together.

[@MamasGotKids]

Trish crying at the end did me in (I'm a sympathetic crier 😂) but also because I've been there. My oldest graduates from college next year and then my younger child from high school the year after. You realize almost too late how the time flies and what amazing people they've become.

[@B.A.S.66]

You two are great parents. Nothing wrong with the emotions it shows how much you care.

[@jonathanneal4643]

Im not crying.... You're crying! LOL. Proud parent moment. Congrats.

[@kimcarver195]

I'm not crying, you're crying. Oh so sweet, we are ready to watch the next chapter! Congrats Carson. 🎉😉 Great job 👍

[@JimmyKI5PRK]

Congratulations to Carson on his graduation. You guys have so much to be proud of with your kids. You have done a fantastic job raising them. Hats off to you both. Love the channel and all the great content you guys have made over the years. It's been a privilege watching your adventures. Can't wait to see what's in store next week.

[@gabehoppe9027]

Carson's strength and compassion for others is no mistake. I don't think you were crying, just overwhelmed by pride...which you both deserve to be! I've been following you guys since your first flat and look forward to every Sunday!! Thank you!

[@sarahcampbellharris2210]

So crazy how attached you can get to people you never met! Love you all so much. Congrats Carson!

[@franky-11636]

I was crying with you Trish. It’s so special to get to see our children grow and become beautiful human beings. Congratulations Carson!

[@crash_childers5580]

I just watched this and it occurred to me that your son had already become the person you were coaching him to be. You had it validated right before your eyes. Very special. I cried right along with you and I'm not even a mom.

[@bethb6568]

Wonderful family milestone. Congrats to Carson! I’m thinking Charley won’t miss the Bird as much as the rest of you but it’s retiring to the perfect spot!

[@jetlifef900]

Congratulations to Carson on such a fantastic achievement! Exciting times ahead at ERAU - DAB. As an ERAU alum ('95, '12), I'm sure he will have a great time.

[@stephenoren2408]

Congratulations on raising a great young man. Well more than one, but this video is about Carson. I cried with ya Trish

[@cococook4790]

It's always uncomfortable when the tears start to flow but the tears said a lot. We all felt it too, thanks for sharing!

[@BS-kr3nx]

Congrats Carson, Mon and Dad raised you right and you made them proud 🥲 I am also crying

[@Melindalot]

Trish’s comments at the end just goes to show that Carson had been “shining” even when Trish wasn’t there to tell him too. Great job mom! And Carson!

[@sherryvann8078]

I seriously needed a warning before you cry. I know you are so proud of all of your kids. When someone tells you something special about them when you were not around, it makes a mommas heart burst with pride.

[@1kaaa]

From what you've shared about your family on YT, you've both raised good humans.

[@leann4925]

Thish, gosh I started to cry with you as it was nice to get a compliment. So happy to see the family together for such a awesome occasion. So excited for Carson. It was so heartwarming to see Charlie as he is such a joy. Hugs to Charlie. Thanks and Love y'all as well as be safe.

[@asadventures_moriicoddiwomple]

Loved this one! Trish, you made all Moms cry! You've both done a great job with the kids and it shows.
