Hunter is having the time of her life exploring new places. Thanks for sharing.

[@flyingthenest]

Thanks for watching!

[@AndreaWitt745]

We (here in Utah at least) call them "Dust devils". Super cute episode, hope you're enjoying your travels!!!

[@flyingthenest]

Oh cool!! Nice to know the local name

[@samkate2003]

Arizonan’s call them “Dust Devils” as well

[@Mel.H_]

Yup!

[@anniedonnelly7416]

True story my parents left my uncle alone with a shovel and 50 yrs later they still have the pond...get that Princess a shovel ❤

[@LCLand]

Oh my gosh letting Hunter discover the store for movie snacks was next level that was absolutely precious Cheese puffs I saw some …so cute!!

[@jamiecorisis6122]

I loved the lawn chairs and coffee out in the Walmart parking lot 😂❤

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe 😂

[@markbajek2541]

Yeah maybe for effect, but that's the exact sort of thing that customer's complain about, manager's think about, add to a list of pro's and cons and say, that's it we're pulling the plug on this RV camping thing.,

[@flyingthenest]

Totally get everything you’re saying! We were right at the back and was filmed like 630/7am there where next to no customers 👍

[@TheFreedomgal]

I remember the Shed . I lived in Santa Fe when I was a teenager in 1983-1986. Watching you in New Mexico brings back great memories

[@skepticalmaiden]

Yes, definitely cheese puffs. Hunter is precious.

[@nicolettedorfling9788]

Hunter is so adorable! Cant wait that Koa is so old as Hunter to do things with her and dad!❤

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thank you

[@katherinew1538]

You guys picked the best restaurant in Santa Fe!! 🙌🏼 If you’re worried about spice, order a side of sour cream. Tones it down without losing flavor. I hope you had some sopapillas!

[@tracyzehnder2902]

I absolutely love you guys! You are just some of the sweetest people on this planet. The way you love each other how do you take care of each other the preciousness of kindness you have for your children is just amazing! Thank God for you, your family and your videos. May you always have a lot of love and joy and happiness surrounding you.❤

[@DyanK614]

New Mexico looks great! I have just started bingeing all of your videos from the beginning- I’m up to Whistler- I must say it is so cool watching you as such youngsters compared to now with your beautiful children. You have come a long way! Love your family!!❤❤❤

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thank you!!

[@NZKiwi87]

I love family van life! I’ve always been interested in the food at American diners, this was great - thank you! And Jess I LOVED your coriander application, yummmmm! It’s great having a spouse who’s not that into it coz we get to eat more hehehe!

[@averymccall224]

THE SHED !!!!!! I grew up going to Santa Fe and have eaten there countless times! My number one recommendation to every person when they visit Santa Fe!

[@flyingthenest]

Suuuuch a good spot!!

[@maisie9867]

@9:33 we call them dust devils in New Mexico, but I will now call them whirly whirlies. love tht

[@allisonangelafleming]

The food she made looks so good!! Beautiful family!!

[@mbandfam]

We are loving the US Van tour! Predicting your next stops! We love that you 'explore' v' go original with the popular stops everyone else visits. The spur of the moment and unique adventures make us want to take up van life.

[@janesmith761]

Oh that joke, “It’s like a heart attack on a toilet”, had me creased! Lol

[@jamielee3398]

I came here to say the same thing 😂 I’m so glad it wasn’t just me who picked up on that joke 🤣

[@susanvaughan4210]

Hoping you're headed to southern Colorado. And hoping you'll stop at the Great Sand Dunes (Nat. Park) which is beautiful, fun, and so close to where I live.

[@jonellesandel1066]

Must do Meow Wolf! Hunter would love it, it’s amazing🎉 we have another in Denver now too, both excellent.

[@Lifeandtravelsofbek]

Hunter will be presenting her episodes in no time! She’s more aware now about who you are talking to and what you do on camera. Loved the date night. So romaaaaaantic (think ‘Blended’ 😂)

[@allysonblanchard3864]

9:31 in South Louisiana we call them whirl winds or mini tornadoes

[@brittanyharless4366]

I get so excited watching y’all in the US! Every week you’ve visited some of our favorite places! We were on a mission trip in Kayenta, AZ 3 weeks ago and we had to make a stop at The Shed in Santa Fe on our way back home to Arkansas. We were in Savannah, GA last week for a school event and are about to head to Wisconsin next week for family vacation. It is a LOT of driving but I love exposing our kids to as many things and places as possible.

[@emmaipsaro4711]

Sitting in the parking lot in your camp chair with your coffee is the most Wal-Mart thing you could do😂😂 You're assimilating to US life perfectly.

[@flyingthenest]

😂😂 love this comment

[@PaulinaMcCabe]

As a native New Mexican it depends on the season of the chlli. Some places put out warning signs or you just know you’re in for belly/ mouth burning. Happy traveling

[@maddierey95]

What core memories you are making not only for you two but for Hunter 😊 & Koa is just along for the vibes and views ❤

[@stephanieashley3610]

Koa is so quiet and chill compared to Hunter. He’s just soaking it all in.

[@nekitas8341]

You two are such wonderful parents 🥹! Hunter and Koa are having amazing childhood experiences !!!!

[@Mr_randome14]

Hunters like voice is so raspy and cute! Can’t wait until Koa start talking!

[@TinaKearney-pv8dj]

So glad to see your family is still having fun! Where in the states are you currently? Would love to give you a list of things to do in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Happy and safe travels for all of you!

[@paulasymonds9100]

I loved the camping and date night at Walmart. I couldn't stop smiling!!

[@LCLand]

We once got stuck in a sandstorm in Kingman AZ when I was a kid. How disappointed we were that the motel pool was filled with sand! A few years ago my dad and I were heading to Gallup to visit my aunt and go to the intertribal Native American ceremonies and traffic stopped completely while we all sat there waiting for a sandstorm to pass. So weird! So glad you’re headed to Gallup! My uncle was the mayor of Gallup when I was a child. And his son was a NM state senator a while back. My cousin can get you in a wholesale turquoise shop if you want some 😊

[@NathanAlvarez]

9:30 in the U.S. we call them dirt devils or dust devils.

[@lindamoulton1560]

OMG I really hope you guys made it to Roswell on your van trip!!!!

[@flyingthenest]

Have to add it to the list 😊

[@lindamoulton1560]

@@flyingthenest I also loved seeing you guys try Enchiladas and Queso- My Mom's from Texas and those are absolute staples in our house! :)

[@emlizw1]

That old town in AZ reminds me of Radiator Springs from Cars. Dust Devils is what we call them here. Hunter is so FUNNY when it dawns on her that Walmart is right out the door. I don't blame Hunter for not wanting to try spicy!! I not a big fan of spicy either. I do like to try the local food though.

[@katyrosell8801]

The dirt whirls are called Dust Devils here in the US! You are really inspiring me to go to the Southwest to visit with this series!❤

[@nicolet3757]

Currently in New Mexico and exploring! I would love to know which hot springs you went to? Thank you for sharing so many incredible places to explore.

If you guys go to Washington state I highly recommend driving through the Northern Cascade National Park!! Hands down the most beautiful drive in the state!

[@anastasiaperez1793]

Oh my god there so much more to see in New Mexico. I’m surprised you didn’t take the kids to meow wolf! It’s very well known interactive museum. Albuquerque has great museums and sites too!

[@sassyh154]

Cheers for taking us with you on your travels... Love the Aussie perspective of it all... TFS...

[@shakiravillegas1176]

Pueblo Colorado green Chile is the ABSOLUTE best! If u don't like hot get Anaheim it's a mild spice level with tons of flavor. I know people who moved out of state that get our Chile sent to them cuz nowhere else compares

[@cathyhamilton5131]

Those mini tornados are called Dust Devils! l grew up in AZ and it's so much fun to see you travel my birth state!

Love your family and videos!!! I live in the beautiful state of West Virginia, come visit us!! So many beautiful waterfalls, trails, and views!! We even have swings all over the state celebrating its beauty. I would love seeing my state through flying the nest eyes!

Hunter looks like she’s enjoying every bit of this adventure and Koa looks at u guys thinking what are these nut-heads doing?!? 🤣❤️

Try the cracker barrel or waffle house for breakfast, there along a lot of exits. The cracker barrel old store is nice also. Lovely video as always. 😊 Happy travels.

Wash the heart rate monitor! It’s waterproof. I just use soap and water on the strap. I bought that model specifically cause I can wear it swimming

[@lynetteC484]

Great traveIing around America with you. I will have to try the friend banana and peanut butter sandwich. I grew up calling the wurley wurleys Dust Devils. lol, memories of Kara and Nate overnight at the Walmart parking lot.

[@LCLand]

Come join us for date night. Oh my gosh I’m obsessed with your American tour already. Maybe because you’re starting out in my favorite the good old Southwest. ♥️♥️♥️

[@Jerica93]

I don't know where you're at in the US at the moment, but if you happen to be passing through the south of Missouri, you should try eating at Lambert's, "Home of the throwed rolls." Huge potions of all-American, southern food, but the highlight is that they throw the bread rolls to you from across the room. Kids love it, and the food is delicious. A road trip staple for my family!

[@ladymc2021]

So glad to see you guys enjoying the southwest where I grew up lol I am surprised you said that was the first time you tried queso as I thought you had it Chipotle? Would be interested to know what you rate it compared to them lol So glad Hunter is not afraid to try anything really ❤ 🎉 Mexican hot chocolate is absolutely 💯 the best

[@Emilyvalentine4]

Oh how i needed this video im stuck in hospital poorly and this is just what I needed x hope your having a great time x ❤❤❤

Aww I’m so sorry hope you have a speedy recovery

[@kristasahlin]

Awesome video!! I'm writing down some of these places to stop at on our trip there... Can I ask where that hot springs was? Looks like fun!!

[@jparreno]

Peanut butter, Banana Griled sandwichwas something i made after hearing about Elvis when i was younger... I misread the recipe and i added Bacon to the sandwich but IIRC, the actual recipe is sandwich fried in bacon fat and didn't necessarily have bacon IN the sandwich. Either way... they're both good cause lets just be honest, Bacon makes everything better. 🤣

[@flyingthenest]

😂😂

[@emmaipsaro4711]

Bacon would definitely upgrade a peanut butter and banana sandwich!!!! U are 100% right bacon makes everything better!!

I think we might be there next year 😉

[@ldhpc]

I hope you do go to Ontario next year and visit the Falls while there. On the Buffalo side ( where I grew up) you must eat their pizza and wings! It’s where Buffalo wings were created. @flyingthenest

[@positivelypepper]

We call a whirly whirly, dust devils! Or at least I think that's the closest comparison! Ours are made up mostly of sand/dust and look like lil narrow pipe tornadoes, but they're usually harmless.

[@jonellesandel1066]

Pb and banana is an American staple!

I am OVERJOYED you’re trying the hatch green chile!! And I have to pause because I’m meeting friends for a movie. Ugh. Can’t wait to come home later and finish and see what you ate!!

[@flyingthenest]

Enjoy the movie!! What you watching?

[@LCLand]

@@flyingthenest my friend at church is deaf and has been trying to teach us sign language. I love her and when she invited us to go to the opening of the Jesus movie in ASL I was intrigued. I am a counselor at a California community college with a large deaf population and like to communicate with our deaf counselors too. Anyway it was the best production of Jesus I’ve ever seen. Has subtitles which I needed. Not fluent. I think because facial expression is a huge part of signing and their cast was PERFECT. Incredibly talented. It really was done so well. Not for small children though. Once they started brutally beating Jesus my heart broke and is still hurting hours later. But a beautiful production. Wow. I highly recommend for pg 13 crowd. I’ve been studying the Bible over 30 years and it still deepened my love and faith. 😄 Thanks for asking ♥️ And safe travels and tons of joy. May your angels protect you every second 😘🌶️ Now I really must go see what you ate in Santa Fe!

[@lizcromwell1899]

I would be a nervous wreck especially in the states. Be safe. Hugs
