NEW FRIDGE & NEW KYD HATS! | CARSON'S SEND OFF

[@kingarthur1953]

As a veteran, nothing moves my heart more than seeing our future heroes taking the step to start their career in the defense of our great country. I am so proud of Carson. And of both of you for a job well done as parents.

[@btemple2495]

@@sarahann530 Have you served your country? I am guessing by your crappy comment you haven't.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Ronnie Mallonee thank you for your service Ronnie.

[@adventuresofjandk]

B Temple unfortunately you can’t do much with folks like that. Just know there are still decent people in the world.

[@kingarthur1953]

It’s not my intention to convince or judge anyone’s position or conviction. I apologize to the channel that my expression with good intentions resulted in negative responses. My intention was not to start a conversation about the rights and wrongs of our great military but just to acknowledge my pride in those who choose to serve especially in today’s all volunteer military. Some of us did not choose to serve however most served with honor and integrity whether they volunteered or were drafted. As a combat veteran, I agree that combat is not cool. In fact those who were involved in combat were likely changed forever. Now we struggle to survive as our personal combat continues.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

@Ronnie Mallonee....Thank you for your service and sacrifice, thank you for my freedom, thank you for protecting our country and thank you for encouraging and supporting our future military !!! I am a grateful proud American !🇺🇸

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Oh the emotions.....laughing, crying, sobbing, happy, proud, laughing.....all in 27 min !!! You are all so wonderful !

[@brianhubbard6423]

A big commitment for a young man. Wishing the best for Carson. God bless you and thank you for your commitment of service to our great America. Keep the rubber on the road.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks as always Brian.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Great comment.

[@RV_with_Noni_and_Beard]

The best we can do for our kids is roots and wings. Roots so they know where they are from and wings to fly and succeed. I admits I am typing this through my tears.

[@samwalker3441]

Well said.

[@maribethspence6740]

I was tearing up too.

[@richarddick2372]

Good on Carson! A military mindset will always stay with him, and anchor his life in the tough spots. Fine young man with a great support from his loved ones. He's off to a great start. Bless you all!

[@adventuresofjandk]

USMCR Patriot Vet agree and thank you for your service as well.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Agree and thank you for your service !!

[@sherrymeurer]

crying. You have great kids. Well done, Mom and Dad! My son went into the Marine Corp after HS and now is a K9 officer with our local PD. So proud of the young men and women who choose a life of service. Bless your family as you enter another season.

[@jennifereusterman]

My nephew graduated from the Airforce Academy in May and we were there (traveled there in our RV😁👍) My 9 year old son was in awe 🇺🇲 and now wants to go there. ❤ Proud of your son!! Good job mom and dad!!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Jennifer Eusterman congrats to your nephew. Quite an honor.

[@ncylee4]

I feel like we’ve been watching your kids grow up. So proud of Carson. He is going to KILL IT!! You are raising an amazing family. Thanks for letting us tag along. 💕💕

[@testersbc1]

Congratulations on raising a fine young man!

[@samwalker3441]

What Tester said. So proud of Carson for making the difficult choices and blazing his own trail. Hey Mom. He will be just fine. So proud of you guys as a family for having those kinds of discussions and making the choices. So many times, we just see inaction that leads nowhere. Great stuff.

[@judeedufresne8371]

Tears..one of the most emotional episodes yet. Love your family....♥️♥️♥️

[@adventuresofjandk]

Judee Dufresne ya that one was pretty tough. 😂

[@karenlowe-alton417]

A family who prays together . . . Love to see your faith in action. Blessings.

[@CartersTrail]

As a 20-year Air Force Veteran, it's absolutely amazing seeing your support for Carson as he reaches for his future. His attitude will take him to great heights and your example and encouragement gives him a solid foundation to build upon. His future is bright and what he has learned over the past several years will serve him well.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks for your service :)

[@lynoreabbott1010]

Rowing will stay with him the rest of his life. Good on you, Carson.

[@robertapoirier3045]

Time makes you bolder. Children get older... Very bittersweet ❤️

[@robertwhite1821]

As a 21 year Air Force Veteran super stoked to see Carson pursue his goals with such resolve and determination. I share your pride in his noteworthy decisions. As the owner of 3 decades of Pembroke Welsh Corgis you can imagine my delight in seeing the Corgi pup at Charlie’s birth home. As usual your video has put the cap on my weekend with a smile.

[@annamaybeekman5152]

My how fast time flys. I remember all these videos Look how young he was. Congrats on finally getting the fridge.

[@Auntievette17]

WOW!!! Crying watching Carson leave, but so thankful for young men & women who want to serve our country. Just can't believe how fast time flies!!!

[@VTfan-te5qp]

Best of luck to Carson! We all know that he will do great things, especially with great parents supporting him all the way.

[@spinnakerwoodshop4290]

Both of my children did crew while in high school at Gainesville Area Rowing in Florida. It kept them busy, gave them discipline and kept them in shape. They loved it.

[@lorih379]

Yay fridge! Love the hats! Lump in my throat watching Carson. So happy for him. Omg the dogs and pups!

[@michaelgmyers]

Wow. Watched my children grow up. Now yours. Goes by so fast. Thank god for three grandchildren.

[@andrewsharman4419]

What an amazing opportunity for Carson. He will do great. I remember my time as a young army cadet in the UK. Great base for his future.

[@Yveswife]

Wow so emotional made me cry as Mom. I haven’t experienced my son going away he is 24 and still lives with us and I am okay with it. I love your channel love following along. Congratulations to Carson and best of luck at school and his future.

[@joesmith3279]

Love your channel! My son is an Air Force Officer and learning to fly the KC-135. I was so proud to be able to pin his wings on him when he completed his undergraduate pilot training. Carson will have a great career ahead of him with the military! Great job parenting!

[@debbie10stars]

I’m so proud of your son🙏❤️ Your family is what a family is suppose to be💕🚐 God bless!!!

[@sheilaschwartz1300]

How blessed that Carson is taking those steps into his KYD

[@KeepYourDaydream]

What a great way of putting it :)

[@noahtramposh3350]

I feel like we have all gotten to watch carson grow and become a young man. As a veteran i am ecstatic that he has chosen the path he has to better himself, his family and his country. You two should be extremly proud of him. Thanks for sharing your family with us.

[@mistertravis4690]

Congratulations to Carson and his awesome endeavor! I personally know 2 people that has attended Culver academy and they are true leaders. Best of luck young man.

[@thealee3157]

I got all emotional when Carson went thru the bridge. Like watching one of my kids go away

[@adventuresofjandk]

Great video. Come from a long line of Veterans. My brother has served more than 20 years in the Air Force. It has done great things for him and his family.

[@jjohnston27]

You are great parents and great examples. Creating a great example for this community, but more importantly, your children. Keep living the daydream!

[@brendalawrence6732]

Wow, I can't believe how much your kiddo's have grown. Glad Carson found his thing in life and I know he will go far. All your kids will as they have great examples in their parents. I'm not going to wish him good luck as he doesn't need it, but I will wish him a fabulous year! Carson, you looked so handsome in your uniform! Always bitter sweet for mom but I know y'all are so proud. Loved seeing Charlie with his family, how sweet was that?! Love watching you guys and your adventures. Amazing! Hugs, Brenda

[@diannegolubski6645]

you guys got me all emotional with those clips of Carson from the early days! Fly on Carson! Best wishes to you in your new adventure!

[@LivingCoast2Coast]

Congratulations to Carson. We wish you all the best. Safe travels.

[@Tiberswimteam09]

Awesome job Carson! As a US combat veteran I am so proud of you for your choice. May God bless you and keep you! Fly high young man!

[@Teresalimon]

Your collage of Carson had me balling my eyes out. So proud to see him follow his dreams. So glad to see him have a military background so early in his life. Good job, parents.

[@noraray439]

I went to the Culver Summer camp when I was ages 8-10. It was and is still such an awesome place. You feel like a family there. All of my family (aunts,uncles,cousins,parents, and siblings) have all gone there and we all feel so connected there. I got the same reactions when I would tell my friends about a 6 week military camp. It sounds quit aggressive, but I wouldn't of changed it for the world. I met so many good people there, the counselors are amazing! I am still constantly in touch with my favorite counselor there. It is for real the best place ever. Culver, Indiana is a great place and that's so amazing for Carson.

[@katieweakscrumble6651]

Why did I cry too?! So exciting for Carson & the whole family!!!

[@droningharry]

2 things in the greater Chicago area that High Schooler's love sports wise, LaCrosse and Rowing. Every school we ever saw had them. I was born and raised in Chicago and spent 47 of my 57 years there and I never once was on the Skyway. I was a Tollway monster, yes the mad race, Ipass and all still use it because we travel back to see our Son and wife all the time. Saves money and time for sure. Much easier to whip through an ipass lane at 75 than wait in line. They do have Cameras on each Clerk also. Seeing you guys go through these life changes brings back so many memories. Each of our kids off to College now all in their mid 30's and our Daughters have 5 great kids between them, that's fun! Our Son didn't want Children and they do so well and are so happy, you have so much more great exciting things a head. Good Luck to Carson and to you guys. We've found that Western Iowa isn't so bad at all, no place like home for sure but it's also where you find Peace and Happiness.

[@texassky9706]

Wow! Carson! You have so many people rooting for you! No pressure, truly; just pure love and admiration for you, young man!! My favorite Carson highlight is the warning sign. HA!! Good luck Carson.

[@timcombes9054]

Wonderful video! Great to see Charlie's original family while your family made a major change; the beginning of the empty nest. Just remember they are always around. Agree that the military school is great for his development toward one of the Academies. May God continue to bless and keep you all! Oh, and the hats look great.

[@maraudermitchelli]

Beautiful parents, beautiful children, wonderful life!

[@lynjameson1368]

Loved the eye contact Carson had as he saluted each person during the opening ceremony. Such a great young man. I don’t know how you held it together momma 😭. And look how little he was when you started this journey, seems like yesterday.

[@sky02148]

Omg Trish i just finished watching it and yes the tears are flowing I don't know how you held it together. Carson I remember most of those days. Good luck stay safe and be good. God bless you all Nancy ps how cute is Charlie! Your gonna need him when Caleb leaves!!!

[@stevegardiner9814]

Good luck Carson! Learn as much as you can, life is all about learning, all you need to remember is to do your parents proud, if your parents are proud you've succeeded!

[@karennaatz3833]

Emotional! Mama of four boys here. Wont lie, cried when Carson left. What a journey! He is bound for great things! ❤

[@RickMartinYouTube]

Carson grew up quickly. That clip from 2016 only 3 yrs ago, looked so young. Career Army Officer here - visited AF Acad (RVing) two summers ago and left highly impressed with what I saw. What a great path to take, in my opinion.

[@fordfan3179]

My son just got a degree in geology and now I'm pushing him to finish up his pilots training. He had put it on hold while he pursued his degree. I noticed your son wearing Civil Air Patrol tabs in the older video. I did that myself back in the early 70s. It shaped me for my military hitch. All good stuff. Keep going you have a terrific family!

[@Augiebracerofam]

Congratulations and good luck Carson. Great video on toll road, new refrigerator and 42 year Excella with original still working refrigerator. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures.

[@prettybonkers1040]

Oh my gosh your son is something else. What a witty, smart, charmer. 😀😂

[@prettybonkers1040]

Also, and Carson is a very mature young man who seems ready to do this. Great job, parents.

[@rhondalyn100]

Teared up like the mama I am. Our babies grow up so doggone fast...the montage of Carson from the beginning to now was like reaching time warp factor 10. May his infinity take him safely to the height of his dreams.

[@EndlessRVing]

Beautiful. With our channel growing and a son who just turned 13 this summer, this makes me want to document every second with him so we can look back as you did and enjoy the memories of beautiful times. Thanks so much for sharing! - MJ

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Yes, make it happen! These episodes will be cherished by us years down the road. Plus, I threaten the boys with "wedding footage" all the time ;)

[@EndlessRVing]

Keep Your Daydream love it!! Thank you and look forward to seeing more of your episodes. 💕 - MJ

[@SARGENTO007A]

The Carson reel! Love it!!! I'm gonna cry with Caleb's reel!!!

[@chrisnwilm]

Proud Parent moment for sure. And the joy of that new refrigerator made me laugh. I have loved watching your boys grow. Our boys are just younger 4, 4 and 6. We can't keep up with them when we go camping, they absolutely love the adventure.

[@22rawraw]

Good for Carson...how exciting and what a great opportunity. Congrats to him! Kind of got ME teary, watching the earlier videos of him, most of which I've seen as a KYD follower. Your babies are growing up!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Trish cried the first dozen times we were editing :) The difference between 12 and 15 is pretty remarkable. In just another 3 years they'll all be adults. Crazy.

[@jeanschultz8857]

Wow watching the videos of Carson at different ages was mind blowing. Time has flown by. Congratulations Mom and Dad on job well done. 😢

[@rhbarish]

I've watch most of your episodes. I usually quietly watch in background, without commenting. I just purchased one of your kyd hats to support your energy you put into your channel. It's just simply amazing. Your have the success formula for happy living down. Your genuine /real approach is profoundly refreshing.

[@ashdenohanis5118]

What an amazing episode! Carson is only ten minutes from me he will do amazing and have an amazing time at Culver!

[@nanapopssmith1615]

We are looking forward to longer travels in our rig and not just the 2 week vacations, but our time is coming and we will be ready. Thank you for sharing your family with us! God Bless you and keep you safe in your travels!

Fantastic video. I cried when you said goodbye to Carson. I wish him well and much success. Charlie’s parents Awesome. Wonderful memories in this video also. Prayers for safe travels

[@johndolezal310]

You GO Carson! It seems like yesterday when you pulled out of your driveway to start your new life style. Can't believe it's been 4 years. We so enjoy watching tour adventures. When I saw you driving on I-294, I thought WOW your so close to where we live. Your family is amazing. Wishing all of you the best, TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE! (I ordered my hat)

[@planetim]

Awesome that Carson wants to become a Zoomie. Just attended my 40 year reunion and AFA. It's amazing to be able to go back and say this was my school. USAFA Class of 79

[@07THE19]

Also Congratulations Carson. Very honorable...... good luck and God speed sir.....

[@briancarr5406]

I mentioned a few years ago in one of my comments that Carson should try rowing (been a rowing coach for 34 years) and there Carson is rowing! Looks good. Got the levers! Maybe we should get Culver up here to Canada to our home regatta!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Too funny. It all worked out. He has rowed with Varsity already in one regatta in Indy. He's working hard to make the Varsity boat by next year. And now the official KDY Beanie (or tuque as you say) is officially available. You have the only unofficial one from years ago.

[@hopeulikenudes]

You are raising an amazing family. Thanks for letting us tag along.

[@gone2bch]

My wife fell in love with the beanie, so I just ordered it for her. She doesn’t know it yet. And thank you to Carson for wanting to serve The greatest country in the world! My step daughter and son-in-law are both army. My brother retired from the Air Force. And I have many family members from the past who have served. We thank you all.

[@ramblingrimkus7204]

Ok, my son joined the Marine Corps. It’s a completely different life to see your child change and grow.. pride is one thing but to see them transform into the person God desires them to be.. is something as a mom (I can’t speak for my husband who is still active duty how he felt) I was holding on to the little boy he once was... loving your family through this change.. you will do great things!

[@doughasson2073]

Just a few comments. Great Kids. Great family. Carson looks great in uniform. I know you are very proud as I would be. Thanks for the great video.

[@joenewton9883]

This has been one of my favorite seasons so far. I just had my first child... or the wife did... (7 weeks tomorrow) and episodes like this on your channel have shown me the importance of creating moments. I love yalls way of empowering your kids. Excited to get to make memories and have moments with my son. Thanks! Also, just ordered my hat!!! I don't have the funds to be a KYD insider, so I am happy to finally get to support the channel in some way!

[@torinmurphin2953]

I've been binging your guys' videos for the last couple weeks and have 3 young boys of my own - 5, 3, and 2. This one got me really choked up, and you guys have inspired us to start documenting our family life and trips - thanks so much. Can't wait to keep watching.

Dogs do that with tissues and paper towels because they hold the scent of you guys so well and they scatter them around to make them feel secure and have less separation anxiety. I have had dogs as pets and taken them through training and two service dogs that I got to have a hand in training too so I've learned a lot. Great episode. Congratulations Carson. So proud of ya

[@talesofahoneybee]

Ah, so hard when they leave the nest. What a great son you have raised. Congratulations Carson!

[@ftkinsella]

Very cool episode. Carson looked fantastic all dressed up. He will do great because he has been given an amazing foundation by mom and dad. He has come a long way and will go a long way. Charlie looks just like his dad. So sweet. Stay safe out there guys. Cheers!!!

[@maribethspence6740]

Wow I remember those videos when Carson was 12! I didn't realize how different he looked though til those flashbacks. Made me smile when you mentioned Maddie too. Glad that I'd started following you guys when she was still with you.

[@MikeC19100]

That is so cool that Carson is interested in that way of life for his future. I so wanted to go to a school like that, but it didn’t happen. I ended up with 31 years in the U.S. Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve regardless. Both you two and Carson will be so glad that he went that route and in time it will prove to be the best for the long term. Most individuals who attend those kind of schools have a MUCH better outlook on life and they tend to appreciate where they’ve been and what they have earned than many who just wanted to get buy in school so they could do nothing worthwhile. Wishing you all the best of luck and maybe we’ll see you on the road when we start our own RVing lifestyle next spring.

[@gudfarfar]

Congratulations to your son for his choice of career. I hope he succeeds and not regrets his choice. Best of luck.

[@montyhowell6050]

I'm a hospital nurse in Indiana now; I was born a few miles from Culver. I've known a few grads, and you should expect the best. However, my Dad was threatened with being sent there in the pre-war days. Much has changed since the 30s and 40s. It was not coed then either. When I fly back to Knox, I often pass over Culver. Great place.
