WE'VE ARRIVED ON A NEW CONTINENT! : Adventuring Family of 11

[@kailemarie6021]

I can only imagine the stress and patience it takes to travel with that many kids. It’s almost unbelievable how y’all make it to be a positive adventure no matter what.

[@FaithFueledLiving]

Kaile Overby this! ❤️

[@kellylea]

Don't worry about uploading the videos, concentrate on enjoying the time with your family, that is far more important! You can share your videos and experiences with us when you get back! Be well, sleep well and travel well!!! 💖😊

[@thenanlife1141]

Mike is such a brilliant dad , especially with Eve ❤❤❤

[@sandpiperca4722]

Sadly I’ll never travel to Peru, so it is wonderful that you are sharing your trip. As parents, what you give to your kids are opportunities of a lifetime! Your children are blessed!

[@kellymurphy6445]

We adopted our baby girl from Peru 28 years ago! This is bringing back a lot of happy memories. :)

[@ShyShyTheGem]

Haha!! Jude in the beginning😂😂 “Imagine jumping off!” Megan: “don’t imagine that!”

[@masht]

well... you can actually do skydiving in miraflores

[@ritaburleson1224]

These kids are so nice and though you are running in overtime, they seem to love you and Dad immensely... You work together as parents and make a family in all the adventures... Hope the rest of the trip is great....

[@loro9385]

Daniel is looking so manly and Eve's speech is getting so clear. Live all your kiddos.

[@Laura-sp4td]

I love how Mike's voice changes when talking to the younger kids

[@itsjustme5442]

Eve is talking so much more clearly way to go eve!

[@eddierich6179]

Yea, I always wonder if she takes a speach course. I had to for 4 years when I was a kid.

[@itsjustme5442]

@@eddierich6179 I think they work with her it shows they have

[@superbratz1]

@@eddierich6179 I believe at one point she was in a more intensive speech therapy to help kick-start it but I believe that now they just work with her on their own.

[@mshockey73]

Thanks for taking us along and showing us the sights. Hope you've all caught up on your sleep so that you can fully enjoy Peru:) Love ya's!!

[@rosarioarce552]

I’m glad you are enjoying your trip. Take care of the altitude with the “soroche”. Perú is divided specially in 3 areas. The Coast at the ocean side, it is a narrow desert area, never rains (only with “The Niño”) and some valleys made by the rivers that come from the mountains. It goes from Ecuador to Chile at the South. Crossing all the country. Lima is at the Coast as is Caral the oldest city in all America (North, Central and South) 3,000 years Before Christ. Then the Andes: the mountains, where in this time rains a lot, where you can have mountains more of 6,000 meters high. Goes from Ecuador at the north to Bolivia in the South, also crossing all the country. Cusco and other cities. And the rain forest that is around 80 % of the Peruvian territory. Goes from Ecuador and Colombia at the north to Brasil at the south and east. It’s altitude is the same as the Coast. You have here the beginning of the Amazon river and a lot of species of animals, So you have many climates, altitudes, regions to chose to know. Good luck.

[@orawancarlile6192]

Thanks for the info.

[@FreckledGemini]

Bless you! Sooooooo much patience! I staaaay amazed

[@lauriedunn6198]

When we went to Mira Flores we walked and walked with a friend who had lived there for a number of years. My mouth was watering watching you eat aji and mayo on the fries. And the cats! I remember that park. Usually your travels are new to me, but this brought back some sweet memories.

[@k_abby3398]

For traveler it is really IMPORTANT that you have a globally(factory) unlocked phone. The network locked phones are a great deal for large families in the states but that won't work if you travel, the sim cards won't work

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Gosh I was holding my phone when I got this notification, I was so excited and can’t wait for more !!!! So glad you all are safe and having a great time 🥰

[@erinc.4080]

Love the curls and pink lipstick. Looks great!

[@Amacott99]

How fantastic! Travel is amazing for a family. The way it makes you appreciate each other more is incredible. We live in India and everyday there is something new to see and experience. I love it! Can’t wait to see more of your journey!

[@bobshaw4063]

Did y'all grow up in India ? My doctor at the US Veterans Administration Out Patient Clinic I go to is from India her name is Anupama Ramireddy . The doctor my sister works with is also from India her name is Rama Matahoosadanon . She goes by Dr Danon .

[@papernlace123]

You are their touchstone Mama, and isn’t it such a compliment to us as mothers when they literally reach out to us when they need us??!! Do you still sing Christmas carols to Eve when she needs hiking/walking encouragement on trips? Your videos always brighten my days. Thank you so much for sharing and for just being yourselves! Safe travels and God bless you all!

[@marywright9348]

What a wonderful adventure. Each of the children are so blessed to have these opportunities. Eve may get tired but she also is a part of a wonderful family bonding. It is so neat to see each of the grow in confidence and togetherness.

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

I’m loving watching these , hoping to travel more again someday

[@kaitayoonfernandes]

Lol, Mike this is so funny you mentioned about the cats being the most interesting thing in the city. My kids are the exact same and it’s great to know other families experience that too lol!

[@susanfraser7876]

THANK-YOU. Our family traveled to Peru when I was a teenager. You are bringing back my 1968 memories of that beautiful place.

[@nancyalford8056]

Traveling to Peru and no masks, what a difference one year can make🤠❤️

[@Gezzaxx]

I solo travelled around Peru for 2 months 2 years ago. I recommend sand boarding in Huacachina if you're going anywhere near there

[@joanstump285]

I can't image how you even start budgeting for a trip like this.

[@privatesuzie4071]

You are so insightful...I especially appreciate how much you acknowledge personal boundaries and hunger as part of discomfort of travel as part of sharing your experience...I find that touching, so to speak! You have so much grace.

[@leroybrown7757]

... just the first day...these kids have an opportunity to experience what most will never have the chance to in a lifetime....enjoy all...stay safe and make memories ☮️&🌱's

[@debbiewiseman7625]

The look on your face with wee Eve was priceless. She is doing an amazing job of keeping up with everyone.🥰🥰Happy travels ❤️

[@Lifesgoinggood]

Thanks for actually showing the challenges including kids who struggle. Our one daughter adopted from China struggles more than our other kiddos, so it's reaffirming to see traveling is still possible.

[@wywk]

I always find the best experiences of our lives is when we get outside of our comfort zone. So happy you managed to upload the video although I would've waited as long as needed. Spending time together on your travels and enjoying every moment making great memories is the most important part. Hope the rest of your trip goes well! Stay safe x

[@rebeccaalbrecht771]

I know I will never go to Peru so I really appreciate that you are taking us along. Its awesome, that you can film while you walk along.

[@StaciLoveridge]

I agree

[@cuedan8700]

An advice I can give you, my son has low muscular tone and it is really hard for him to walk... he is 11 and when we have to walk a lot we use one of those scooters you can fold and have a little seat so we can push him or even one ot those very cheap big strollers you can fold... I know it is something to carry sometimes but a lot easier than a winny kid or not be able to visit places because of it...

[@stefani_leigh]

Thanks for keeping travel with kids real! It’s not always easy but totally worth it. 🤍

[@martysanders869]

You're brave traveling the unknown with all those kids, especially everyone being so tired. Enjoy your trip.

[@amberf3599]

Surrounding Eve in many prayers. 💗💗💗 Love you all💗

[@ambergrubbs5926]

The mom touching is so accurate. That is probably the most exhausting part of vacation or any trip is the first 2 days when your child is literally glued to your body and asking a question every 30 seconds lol

[@FaithFueledLiving]

I love this! Hope you guys continue to enjoy Peru! What a wonderful adventure!

[@cherrymaniego209]

Thank you for sharing your travels

[@bobshaw4063]

When I was Eves age I hated walking too, my mum and dad made us walk up mountains and back down again in Germany, I don’t know what was worse walking up or coming down lol. Peru looks amazing and safe as well xx

Love virtually traveling with you all but gosh would it ever be amazing to actually be there in the flesh. Hopefully you continue to have wonderful adventures and I’m waiting with bated breath to follow along. Big Hugz to you all💯❤️💯❤️.

[@sophiemansell9813]

Loving the photos on IG and looking to forward to seeing each vlog. My partner is off to Peru soon so I showed him your video (first he has seen although I am a long time subscriber). His heart melted at Eve. She is doing so well - you must be so proud.

Wow great video I hope to be able to do the same trip some day! Could you explain how you plan overseas trips? What websites you use and how you research where to go? Do you use a travel agent or anything like that? Going to Machu Picchu is my dream but I am worried about staying at a gross Airbnb or being in an unsafe location

I kind of respect that you must know that your SD card is slightly corrupted, but you don't replace it. It's not a big deal, and it's wasteful to throw it out and buy a new one just to make the blogs "perfect".

Maybe get eve those lollipops that are natural. Several people get them for fussy children. They seem to work on calming them down.

[@taramcchesney4213]

Just curious how do you all handle the two smaller ones meltdowns and what not when you’re traveling I know you did a little bit with Eve not wanting to walk but if they throw a fit on you what do you do? do you all sit and let them gather themselves? Or do u find other ways to keep them going just curious😊

Generous meal sizes ...sore tootsies from all that walking...time adjustments....ah yes...even with your eyes on stalks, its still such a buzz. Cannot wait to see those mountains...the glimpse from your room was a real tease. Dungeons and Dragons lol.....incorporating Peru...ah you guys !!!!!! See you on the other side of this...when and if internet allows , your end. Meantime I can see you are well on your ways to having an absolute blast of other realities...the ancient !!!! Huge hugs intrepid friends !!!
