FIRST BIG TRIP IN OUR TINY HOUSE VAN LIFE CONVERSION!

Hey guys, good morning. Welcome back to our channel. Today is the big day. It's officially the big day, but it's not like the official big day. But, uh, welcome to Peaches. Yeah. So we decided on a name. Kids aren't very happy. Jaden wants Trish. I love peaches for the van. Cass likes peaches cause it's got that big extended booty. Um, we're all ready to go. We showered this morning, which is really nice because when you camp, sometimes you don't know if you're going to be able to shower. So we curled our hair. Well, mine's naturally curly. I curled my hair, um, just to kind of be ready and we load it up. And I'm actually really curious to see how everything holds up on the drive. I actually am too. I'm a little, little bit worried. Worried. You're worried. I'm just a little bit worried that maybe some things might fall. I think 100% things are going to fall. That's just how it goes. And then I'll know, okay, I need to put Velcro here, zip ties there, whatever I need to do to secure it. But for now I'm like, fingers crossed everything stays. Okay, let's go. Before we actually leave, I have to make a stop at my favorite scone place cause I want to bring some scones to Colby and Emily. So I'm going to head out. I'll show you what I get after, but I'm going to hop out of the car really quick and go get the best scones. Oh, you're just going to park here and here. It's fine. Just park here. Just park in it sideways and stay in it. What? How did everything do? Okay, we just went about 20 miles an hour. All right, I'm going to hop out. What do you want babe? Bacon, egg and chive? I'm going to get her a unicorn. You want a unicorn? Yeah. Chocolate chip. All right. See you in a minute. All right. I'll tell her. You're just like zoned out right now, huh? Closed. Wednesday to Sunday. What? No. Well, at least maybe I can get some of the coffee that I was going to bring them. Hopefully it's in stock. Why would you look outside yourself when you had all of the world inside? So we decided to, uh, to venture out into, is this the Mojave desert? Well, it says, so I didn't know on Instagram, you can like tap places and find what's local around you as you're driving. And they said, I found this picture. I'm going to show you guys. This one says Lake Mojave. And so I, I tapped like the location at the top and then I did directions to it and it just said 0.7 miles and it looked really cool. And we had some time to kill because we're meeting our friends, um, Kobe and Emily who actually live in Utah. They just sold their house and we're meeting them out in Zion. We've been just completely like off-roading right now for, I don't know, 20 minutes, three hours. What? But it's cool. Look, it's three hours away. Yeah. We were never going to make it. Oh my gosh. I feel like we should stop here on the way back. Yeah, it's really cool. My face is very greasy, which is very scary. I did on my IG story. So, okay. So I was trying to cut some Velcro so we can make a home movie theater in the van. And, um, Andrea has some utility shears, which are not like normal scissors. They're very much like scissors that can cut through a lot of stuff. So I was cutting and I didn't realize how long the tips was and it definitely sliced through a few layers and was bleeding everywhere. And I had to like calm the boys. We were about to pass out and they were just very, having a very hard time with it, but we worked through it and moved through it. But I did want to tell you guys something. So if you didn't know, we, it's right here. I can't take the bandaid off. So if you didn't know, and if you haven't watched our family for long, we actually homeschool our kids through a lot of kind of hands on stuff. Less curriculum for us, for our family in general. Anyways, less curriculum and more hands on learning experience for us with the kids. So we were talking to Cass today about states and how many we passed through. Do you remember? No, try again. How many? Yep. And do you remember the names of them? Starts with an A. And the last one we live in it. Yeah, four. So we're going to be going through four states today. And it was kind of cool because as we passed through them, it was a little bit of a learning experience for him. Talking through different states, geography. We saw a lot of wildlife animal. That's the kind of learning I love to do. I saw a massive squirrel and a hen. And what else? Horses. And donkeys. And plenty of you I'm sure wondering where Jaden is on this trip. And I wanted to acknowledge that as well. We haven't finished our van yet. There is definitely a lot of work that needs to be done. And so we gave Jaden the option this time, whether or not she wanted to come with us on this roughing it camping trip or wanted to stay back. And she chose to stay back. There's a little more comfort for her. She would have had to have slept kind of like on a bug bed situation on the floor. Okay. We'll fix it in a second. So she chose to stay home when the van build is done. There'll be two folding Murphy beds for the kids on each side where we're going to be sleeping, um, as well. So can't wait to show you guys that. But for this trip, she's at home. We miss her. I miss you Jaden. We made it. We made it guys. Hi babe. You're going to get demonetized cause it's music. I wonder if I should turn it off. I mean we get demonetized anyway, but hang on. And I think we're off. There we go. Welcome to our campsite guys. It's looking pretty good over here. Colby just constructed this tent over here by himself. What's up Colby? Where you at? There he is. What's up Colbert? Look at our setup. Our setup is pretty cool. Really good view. And of course, big sissy. We got big sissy over here. Okay. So we got, we got peaches, the van all set up. I'm going to do a little bit of a, a little bit of a tour for you guys so you can kind of see where we're at on the van. We're going to be here for the next few days and uh, we're going to try not to die from heat exhaustion cause it's really warm. Actually does look pretty strong. Colby where are we? I forget. What city is this? We don't know what city we're in. We're somewhere. We're going to get into the river. Tadpole heaven dude. Oh my gosh. You guys, look at this. Look at them all. Oh my gosh. I don't know if I've ever seen. Oh my gosh. You got one? Yep. He jumped up. No, never. That entire rock is covered. Look at, look at, look at, I'm like moving them with my feet so I don't step on them. There we go. Oh wow. Neither. Yeah, it's pulling so hard. How's the water buddy? Oh my gosh. It's just pulling so hard. Wow. This current is really strong. It goes back there to like that waterfall section. Yes, you did it. You did it. You did it, man. You're the first one to get all the way in. Nice. You're the water boy. Yep. Heck yes. All right. I guess I gotta be next, huh? Let's go. Oh, what? Oh, more tadpoles. Oh, splash battle. I'll hold your hand. She was like, no, not yet. Why is it that she's always peeing in the vlogs? Oh yeah. Now she's doing really good. He normally doesn't like water and Frenchies can't swim that well, so I'm just kind of, so as you can see, we found the virgin river and uh, I got very sunburned on my shoulders. We've got the van lights on and it looks a little bit cool. It's very cool. Very cool. Very cool. I'm liking, I'm digging it. We got, we've got the sunset going on over here. Chef Colby has killed it again. He made steak and asparagus. Colby, I appreciate you. Love you. Excellent work. Always kills it. Thanks for watching. I had a really fun day today and you'll love the vlog when you watch it. End of the day. I'm exhausted. Did not sleep well last night. Did you sleep well? So, well, we love you guys. Appreciate you guys. And we will, uh, we'll catch you guys next video.
