Where we went on our JUNE family outing

[@jeremybrand6654]

In England we call them Dock leaves. Re stinging nettles, I have long enjoyed that thought too. Where/when there is a problem, a solution is never far away! God's marvelous character shown forth in his designs. Thank you for reminding me. Claire B

[@jasonandjulie]

He is a great God! 😄

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Memories those babies will remember for ever. Benjamin was so funny. What a great family day.

[@jcav7]

My husband and I drove from Indiana to California when he was enlisted in the Marine Corps, and Missouri was truly one of my favorite places to drive through. It’s an unsung beauty.

[@patriciacullenbach8472]

I love that you are creating intentional memories...wonderful decision to have this family day once a month...

[@wendacarpenter7327]

Thank you for sharing a real life story. Having 5 of my own made this really brought back happy memories, Keep up trusting God, such a blessed life😊.

[@die5plaas]

You know what is really evident in all your videos...? the love you all have for each other! You can just feel it through the screen! you are sooooo blessed!! It's really hard to find these days

[@stacey9433]

Those car naps after a long fun day are the best!💕

[@karenladwig]

I give you a lot of credit going with that big of family but it is memories none of you will forget!

[@kellyspencer6433]

You know it was a good day when the littles fall asleep on the way home 😂

Julie, Jason, I love that you take your family on an outing every month! Loved this hike. My grandfather and grandmother (parents to 10, including my mom who is now 77) had this *huge* tent and they took it on vacation *with all of their children* every year, during the summer Holidays. They went to places like the "Lago Maggiore", which is a lake on the border of Italy & Switserland. A long trip from Belgium to there, but they always managed it, and my grandpa went with his brother and his family, my grandma took her brother. Grandparents traveled with them. They took *everybody* on vacation! And my grandpa had his camera equipment (advanced for the time, but he was like that) and took film and pictures. My grandpa would love today with the internet, things like Instagram and YT. As time went on, kids and especially grandkids explained new developments to him (like the VCR, that wasn't there back in the day), stuff like that. Always someone to help. Always someone around. I love this!

[@FarmhouseRedeemed]

Such a joy to tag along with your family! Bless you guys ❤️

[@jodisampson4508]

What a fun day! You have the sweetest family!❤

[@karenpark7848]

Your little Benjamin reminds me so much of my little Benjamin (now 22) they act and look so similar. 😊

[@89merideth1]

I didn’t realize how close Washington State park is to us. Field trip with the grands.

[@FrankJamger]

This was a great place and I enjoy going along with the Krekes. Those creeks are alotta fun.

[@gillgallon9631]

Great day out, its awesome to see the kids just having a care free day, hank you for sharing

[@lizdillon1277]

Everett is just a gorgeous baby, I love his little rolls

[@ronnym789]

Jason & Julie, it is so cool to see your family out and about spending time together! I hope it inspires many family to be intentional about spending time together. It's during these moments where we can build those deep roots of connection with our children that will hopefully last a lifetime :).

[@tanyamcnutt8480]

A beautiful day for your outing, everyone had lots of fun

[@standingforjesus1214]

The Lord created some beautiful places. And gives us the privilege of seeing them. Your children are so precious from the oldest to the baby. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@amixeblu]

I remember nettle-tea. My gran used to drink it!

[@ourserenelife4321]

If you make it down this way the Ha Ha Tonka state park has amazing trails, views and an old ‘castle’ ruin. It’s become a favorite state park of ours!

[@jasonandjulie]

That sounds fun!

[@michellenelson11]

Another of our favorite places! We drove by there Tuesday on our way to Fenton( our son works there) and wondered if that was on your list of places to go. You HAVE TO go back and hike that trail next spring when the bluebells are in bloom and there is water in the little creek beds. It is like something from a fairy tale. It is absolutely beautiful! We've never been swimming there. It is always crowded. My 12 yo daughter said she would love to end up at the same place as y'all. She said she knows we would get along. God bless y'all! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@mariashelton2950]

What a fun outing! Your children are all so wonderful how they take care of each other! Thank you for your last video about self sustainability especially natural medicine. The medication doctors try to give you have so many side effects. Thank you for taking us along your Tuesday adventures. Love to all the Krekes!

[@carolluther1625]

What a fun family outing! Glad you took us all along, and looks like a beautiful place! God is good!

[@VikingUffDa]

Yikes! I was scared when they went next to the cliff. I remember being scared climbing with my kids as the oldest and youngest had no fear.

[@margiebenson2067]

Fun times❤

[@HomesteadingChicks]

I also appreciate a beautiful public bathroom!

[@melisacanada994]

So pretty n looks fun day. I had anxiety with kids sitting n by edge, little ones as you know , do unpredictable things at times. You guys aren't to far from us.

[@maryflaherty7096]

Love this Tour you took us on! Talk about Nettles and so much more.

[@belindaroberts3090]

What fun. But when the kids were sitting on the top stair thing, freaked me out. I'm scared of heights, extremely.

[@karbear26]

Yup super dry in the Chicagoland area too getting dark out hoping for some rain!! Looks like a fun day! Benjamin trying to skip stones was so cute! Next year maybe Everett could play in the river with Benjamin! Hope you were able to save one of the stickers for the scrap book!

[@jasonandjulie]

We had a few sprinkles yesterday and it’s thundering now. Hoping we get more!!

[@crissy9792]

What a beautiful place. Phew, going all the way to the top, bet they were definitely ready for that water. Would love a Q&A video, my questions are: is your mulch plain tree bark? Do you get caterpillars amongst your brassicas? x

[@meldylira9185]

❤️❤️❤️

[@matteosala4012]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ryanm7249]

That sounded like a lot of fun! I’m not afraid of heights at all. You must be terrified of Roller Coasters LOL!

[@jasonandjulie]

No roller coasters for me! Haha

[@ryanm7249]

@@jasonandjulie LOL!

[@odilegabayengel4192]

What a lovely day ! ❤ I am a big fan of hiking, that is just healthy and so much fun ! That was enjoyable to watch, and the swim at the end !!

[@jasonandjulie]

It was a fun day!

[@matteosala4012]

❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@pat2513]

what a wonderful family outing!!! such blessings

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Beautiful park..great to see the kids having so much fun😊 Benjamin was so cute in the water😂

[@jasonandjulie]

He loved it! 😆🥰

[@DW15904]

Good looking hiking area. I’ll have to check that out one of these days. Looks like a fun place. 👍

[@ricksmith6537]

Been to Washington state park many times- Don Robinson state park is pretty nice too- yes hot here in Mo- my mother was from a family of 13 😊

[@ipraybecauseitworks]

It is my goal to live completely self sustainable with my girls and I. My goal is to harvest our own meat and produce, have solar power, and a well for water. Where do you suggest starting?

[@Gunsmokepedia]

Love this outing day video!

[@chipper841]

Love your family time!👍👍

[@katiemcevoy]

Looks fun!

[@cindyyeager4532]

Awesome video

[@jcross9251]

Love these videos 🥰👏🏻

[@ryanm7249]

s far as the q&a goes, you said you have only taken anyone to a doctor once. Why do they not go for regular checkups? I always did, and I always got regular lab work done as I do now. Doctors or nurses have to administer shots like MMR that are required.

[@jasonandjulie]

We don’t have any required shots here 🙂 and we can get lab work through our chiropractor

[@meldylira9185]

Does bella have any favorite celebrity/artist?

[@orchid4me]

Why don't the kids have shoes on? Safety first. Also hats for all the kids and parents and sun block....

[@jasonandjulie]

There’s lots of research out there about why being barefoot is healthy for your body. Also on why sunblock is not good for you. 🙃

[@jcav7]

Mike Rowe says “safety third” and it is interesting to think about why.

[@bluebellsorbet]

have fun question about butchering what do you use to end their life

[@jasonandjulie]

It depends on the animal. The Justin Rhodes channel has good resources b
