[@flyingthenest]

HEY Everyone!! sorry for the delay on this vlog - had a bad batch of Wifi! but we hope you all enjoy this more RAW look at our day - sadly this is one of the last of our van life videos here in the US - hope you've been enjoying them :)

[@Lee-mz7zj]

Your van life journey has been great. Thank You for sharing with us. Much aloha to you and the family.

[@Meridunya_tmhiho]

Hello, how many states you visited during this van tour?

[@nathalieguiragossian6981]

Love each and every one of your vlogs. 🙏☀️☺️☺️ Thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to watching the next ones. Whether it’s van life or any other vlog, I love them all. Cheers! 😊

[@leviholiday9885]

You are playing ladder ball. Best game ever, camping or family gatherings

[@mamabear3oh375]

these vlogs were so awesome! thank you for sharing them with us and giving us a glimpse of the journey :)

[@karamerik9576]

These children are so so lucky. Not because they get to travel the world, but because they have you two as parents

[@AshleyNewellDotMe]

I got so emotional when Stephen said that this moment was his favorite. How sweet!

[@jayb429]

How about van life Europe? Every time you cross a border everything is so different, the language, the food, the culture, the people, it is such a joy! x

[@Cerrydwenn]

Yes!

[@jrobinson5933]

Love when you do van videos. ❤

Hunter saying "No worries!" in her little voice and accent is the cutest thing I've heard in a while. 😍

[@mimhay912]

The bond you guys have with your kids is just amazing. Watching Steve and Hunter making smores together brought tears to my eyes. You are incredible parents giving your children the best possible life. Incredible humans i adore you guys! ❤

[@Loralla]

You both are such great parents. It must be amazing for Hunter to grow up feeling so heard and included. And I am amazed at how she does the same for little Koa. Beautiful family 🥰

[@TravelswithTommyandLori]

As parents ourselves, we just have to say that you both are made to be mom's and dad. It's so enjoyable to watch you taking time out to just BE with your kids and having the experience of raising them. We are fans of KOA's also because for the most part, you know what to expect and they are all comfortable places to stay. Our daughter homeschools both of our grandchildren . We have so much respect for Jess. You are giving such good memories!!

[@lauramurphy4022]

I swear Koa s hair changes drastically with every Vlog 😂 the adorable lil muffin Hunter is adorable too but the hair doesn’t change as much 😊

[@annieterminetschuppon7232]

Extremely relaxing having, from time to time, a "day in our life" format

[@KimKelly-l4o]

How is it possible to love you guys more?? My goodness, God has blessed you all so much. And you have blessed all of us with your videos. Thank you so much. "Daddy, scoot a little closer" Love, love, love!!

[@debbiemeza4658]

I love the pace and relaxed family time! I hope that you do more family van vlogs...thanks for this!

[@lashondajones5683]

Hunter is such incredible, beautiful and independent lil girl, Koa is so cute with those big beautiful blue eyes and time is going by so fast! Great job parents!!!❤😊

[@sassysusu222]

Hunter has grown up so much 🩷 Under 5 min 👇

[@flyingthenest]

sooo much!!

[@martinalemmerhofer6937]

Another sweet video. I love it when " we just hang out together". Melts my heart,just like the chocolate in your s'mores.😂❤

[@christineharmon5996]

The game is called Ladder Ball. So fun....

[@Kelly-annStCyr]

When the kids are adults, they’re gonna love the videos!

[@flyingthenest]

aww we hope so!

[@boppermacca9346]

This has been a fantastic series. Your family dynamic is so special & it's great to see

[@dawnm2647]

My daughter and I love your family so much! We have been watching your videos and we think you all are such a beautiful family. You guys really know how to make such great video's . No one on You tube compares to your family at all.🧸💖💖💖

[@Mr_randome14]

Hunter voice is so cute and raspy I just can’t wait to hear koa’s little voice!

[@GinnyRM]

We love your DITL videos and YES we would love to see more van life series!!!!

[@vanessahall614]

I don’t want this American Van Life series to end!! I live in Florida & hope to see you at Disney someday! 💕💕💕💕

[@toobydude41]

Aww guys, this is another one that tugs at the heart strings. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this raw day-in-van-life episode...absolutely sweet as can be. A fitting low-key, but still touching swan song to all the thrills and chills of your wonderful travels on this US journey. Bummer that it's over. Loved every single bit. More than mere words can describe. Haha, I haven't seen a Jiffy Pop in so long! It was funny watching you waiting to do its thing. Cheers guys..and HAPPY SEVEN YEARS🥂🥰

[@flyingthenest]

aww thanks mate so glad you enjoyed it! yes will explain all why it ended next episode but loved it so far!

[@sassyh154]

Can't believe Baby Koa is almost one... I have enjoyed watching him grow, Hunter turning into a little girl, a very clever little girl mind you... You guys are so blessed to be able to do this with your babies... And I for one love the van series you do... I like the slower pace of it... Cheers for sharing...

[@krystalleeg1]

I have shed the most tears with this video than I ever have watching your videos! It makes me want to just savour every minute with my babies (3yo and 11 months!) as well !

[@Mel.H_]

Hunter saying "No worries" 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@flyingthenest]

😂😂

[@thaiscottishfamily]

You’re giving your kids the best childhood ❤

[@noradrew5069]

These videos have made my heart so happy. I grew up traveling the US by mini van with my family, staying at KOAs and making wonderful memories across the country. The videos we have from a KOA in Arizona (with beautiful mountains behind the cabin) are still some of our favorites to rewatch. They were a great place to grow up and spend my summers. I’m so happy you all found them and have been exploring while staying at them. The small moments at the campground bring back special memories and I hope you cherish them forever. ❤

[@Livy24]

Oh that warmed my heart when she hit the plate! My dad did that ALL the time with me!

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Stephan and Jess you are the most wonderful parents 🫶 just watching you having family time Just brought a tear to my eyes . Your such a joy to watch but fully appreciate its also hard work for you too Like any parents will know 😜.Hunter and koa are so adorable,Hunter interacting with your conversations so sweet . Beautiful view you had wauw😍. Have really enjoyed your Van series in America , seeing it through your eyes the joy and excitement it brought . Looking forward to hear / seeing what your next Adventures are .Safe travels Thank you again for taking us A long on your journey 🥰

The van life family videos are my favourite ❤❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉

awww so glad!! thank you!

[@Mel.H_]

I just adore your little family. I'll watch whatever y'all put up 😁Van life, plane life, any and all❤❤❤

[@juliasullivan2315]

I loved that you tried Jiffy Pop. My grandma knew the man who invented it! She was a friend of his mother. He was from LaPorte, IN, my hometown!❤

[@kristaready8812]

Loved daddy/daughter time.....brings back tons of great memories 🤗💞

[@lilyfromBrissy]

Kindling, not kindle. Great video, I love seeing the everyday stuff you do.

[@twinkhel]

Hunter and Koa are growing up fast! And they are so behave all the time! Great parenting🥰❤️

[@flyingthenest]

You are so kind!! and yes they need to slown - growing way to fast!

[@user-cy3wj9uk5s]

KOA's are great! Sorry your van is so cumbersome getting it set up/down each eve & morning. The gift you are giving your children and the education of experiencing so much diversity of cultures and climates is priceless. You are showing them life is boundless- just have a dream. All the best to you and your lovely family. PS Shake the Jiffy Pop while on the grate the entire time or it can burn the kernels.

[@flyingthenest]

haha thanks for the advice: question - is Jiffy pop normal popcorn or do most people just get microwavable popcorn?

[@jennifercooper3846]

@@flyingthenestMost people just get microwave popcorn now. Jiffy Pop is more of a fun novelty to have the experience of pre-microwave popcorn 🍿😃 Fun to do when camping or having an outdoor party with a fire pit. Love you guys, thanks for the great video.

[@JackieScoggins]

Hello from Chattanooga Tennessee. Love all of the videos. Family time is so special 😺💖🎉

[@mrscb5303]

I know you must have normal moments of frustration but you seem to really take advantage of all the joy there is to find. It’s wonderful to watch your family have fun and grow. I often think about how much the kids will love seeing young Mom and Dad when they get older. I found you because of your van life the first time so I do have a big fondness for those type of videos. Of course anything you all post is always fun so just waiting to see what is next!🧡🖤🧡

[@heatherrowles9930]

Awesome video as always guys. Sitting here in a cold, wet, predawn Perth morning (yuck winter lol) watching you guys play, learn and enjoy the big world that is out there is a wonderful way to take me from where I am to places I will never go. Also brings back awesome memories of home schooling my daughter and travelling with her during the school terms to avoid the crowds. She's 27 now and I miss those days so much. It doesnt matter what sort of video you make, I will watch it and enjoy it. Im totally invested in watching the 4 of you grow together.

[@carolannelunan5329]

The game is called Ladder Ball or Ladder Toss. You get different points depending on which wrung of the ladder you hook your ball to. I believe 1 point for the top wrung, 2 for the middle and 3 points for the bottom. We always played first person to 10 wins. The time you invest in your children is so lovely to watch. Did you teach either of your children sign language. Our daughter was an early talker, but our son needed help with speech (he grunted to communicate). He really didn’t start talking until he was 4 years.Specialists suggested he didn’t have to talk as big sister did all the talking for him. He remained quite quiet as he grew up. Curious to see if KOAR will be able to keep up with Hu tee.

[@evelinanordstrom735]

I love the van series, houseboat videos and long train journeys. More of those please 😊 I also really appreciate the raw "everday" videos once in awhile 😊

I just thought about how awesome this will be for hunter and koa; to have those videos as memories of the adventures they had with their parents 😍 and maybe even share them with their kids. I wish I could have that but I guess KZbin wasn’t a thing back in the ‘old days’ 😜

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Lovely vlog of family chill days ...No!! not only 10 summers they want to spend with you!!..it will be longer if you do stuff they enjoy! My 19yr old wants to come on our summer holiday road trip with me and my 11yr old this summer, even though he has just finished his 1st yr at Uni. We had a fabulous road trip last summer to. You just have to adjust the activities to suit the kids ages and interests. My kids love skiing holidays in winter (at any age) and in summer we now include quad biking, abseiling and climbing, sea kayaking, trekking, etc. Stuff they enjoy.

[@katsopolis8046]

Id love to see some more cruise travel and van travel! Watching your family grow has been so awesome!

[@amyhenke2417]

Ladder toss!!! The top rung is worth 3 points and then 2 and 1 as you go further down. I lovw this game and play it on the beach with my dad.
