  • World's Best Dad award goes to Nolan as he went tenting with Xander on a hot summer's night in the backyard! Xander was beyond thrilled and couldn't get done chattering his excitement.

    I am a preschool teacher always telling children not to squish bugs for fun. I use your exact statement “ how would you like it if a big giant came and squashed you?” I add “ let it go home to its family, or it wants to live. Thanks for the shot of the lightning bugs, living in California I never have seen any.

    Xanders response about smushing/smearing/killing the bugs was such a boy reaction that I just had to laugh!!! The memories that you guys are making with him is just sooo priceless. Seeing Xanders excitement over camping out in a tent, and knowing the sugar cookie intake I thought: I wonder if either him or Nolan would get any sleep?!!!! I enjoy how you allow us to participate with your family even if it comes only by us being able to view through the lense of your camera. And that is fine with me. As they say, something is better than nothing! Gale Flowers

    So adorable! Just shows what's truly important to a kid - and it really doesn't take much to fill them with excitement & a taste for adventure - even if you don't have a yard, you could set up a pup tent in the living room. (Hope his love of Junk Food isn't lasting!! Very funny) Special times for your family - looking forward to seeing your trip to Alaska, never did make it, so am keen to tag along. Have a lovely day. 🙏🏻🐾🦘🙃👍

    These are precious moments that Xander will remember when he is older. My baby, who is 12, is now my height. I'm 5'7".
    All the times we do something special for our children, they will remember. And it makes childhood memories more fun. Make a fort with sheets and blankets and sleep in the living room... you have air conditioning that way😉.
    It's always a blessing to watch your beautiful family.
    We might have to try those bars. We consume a lot of protein bars. Either homemade or store bought. You are right- sometimes, when the protein is strong, it is barely edible.

    England has been having a week of 30 degrees plus, a rare treat, so my husband and I camped out in our dining room, on a blow up mattress, (coolest room in the house, no air conditioning, English homes don’t have it, we don’t get enough heat, so, french doors open and garden lights twinkling, aged 54 and 55, we camped out! Whilst stargazing, before settling down, the Internal Space Station glided over us, bright in the night sky, so cool! We did contemplate a few fireworks but we only had loud ones, so we thought best not! We did have sausages on sticks though, no Junk food, as we had run out!!! Who says you can’t fun when your kiddies leave home? And for the record, in true garden camping tradition we didn’t last the night, our bed was calling us! 😂.
    Looking forward to your Alaska video.
    Enjoy your weekend 😊 oh and your dog 😂
