MY DAUGHTER'S DREAM VACATION in Alphabetical Order

Today, my daughter Salish and son Hudson attempt a full vacation in one day. To make it even more difficult, they have to do it all in alphabetical order. Even when the vacation takes an unexpected turn. Every year for spring break, we go to sunny, warm Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Whenever we come to Steamboat, we always say we're going to do a bunch of stuff and then we never get it done. So today we're going to do it all in one day. Letter A is angel for snow angel. You don't have to do it, but it'll be cool. Ready? She thinks that was bad. Just wait until Z, B is for bumper cars on the ice. Whoa, I'm going in circles. Hey, what? I can't hit. All right. I'm good. How do I? I'm getting nauseous. Little help. Sorry. That's my B. Okay. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm looking for Salish. You want some of this? You're going down. That was a lot of fun, but bumper cars this early? I'm exhausted. During this video, we are going to play a game with you and FaceTime one person who gets the answer right. We are going to intentionally skip four letters, write those letters down, rearrange them into a word that you can use in the comments below. And we will pick one person who gets it right to FaceTime. Okay. We're at Strawberry Park right now. We're in a nice, hot hot spring. What does this have to do with Steamboat? Because right behind you is a freezing cold lake, and you are about to do a cold plunge. What? No. Here's the game. Brother versus sister. Whoever stays in longer gets to pick what we do for the next letter. Okay. Are you ready? Bro, I got this. I'm going to crush you. I'm not going to let him win. I don't want him to pick that letter. Okay. Here we go. Hudson and Salish have both done cold plunges in the past as part of their exercise, just never this early. Breathe. My toes are going to fall off. I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold. I need to get out. Did I win? Yes. The next letter is D. We're going to go to my favorite diner. Okay. I got it, I got it. D is for dinner for Salish. Dinner is 10 a.m. Salish, here's your dinner menu. Hudson, here's your breakfast menu. He gets breakfast? Lucky. Hey, I won the cold plunge. You should have stayed in longer. I couldn't. It was too cold. Nothing like breakfast at a diner. That's for sure. Nothing like dinner at a diner. When it's dinner time. I'm going to order for both of us. All right. Uh oh. What? I love this, but 10 a.m., I'm not sure about dinner. I'm never eating again. Fuzzy Wigs is the best candy store in Steamboat. Salish, you can get whatever you want. But you only get one minute starting now. Do I have a budget? No, no, no budget. Oh my goodness, I can get whatever I want. Okay. She's going to be wired all week. I know Hudson actually really likes Mike and I, so maybe I'll get him two packages of that. What would you guys get? Oh, those are good. Um, I want to try that. Okay. Oh, Hudson loves M&M's, M&M's. And he also likes Harry Potter. And these, and these. Do they have a Hudson? H, H, H, H, H. Ooh, what about a Salish? S, S, S, nope. You just wasted 10 seconds looking for this. Excuse me, can I please have a candy apple? 10, 9, 8, 7, don't panic, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Thank you so much. That was so stressful. I think I have enough candy to last me like a whole year. I can't eat all this candy by myself. So I don't care what she is, whatever it is, I'm going to make it a given. Come on, just watch this. I'm about to give this whole bag of candy to a stranger, but there's a twist. Excuse me, do you want free candy? Uh, sure. Well, that's a lot of awesome candy. Well, you can have all of this candy, but first you have to eat three BeanBoozleds to get it. Okay. Here are all of the flavors she might have to eat. That one is dead fish or strawberry banana. Okay. I'm going to get strawberry banana. Onion or cappuccino. I hate that. Ew, it's onion. Oh, is it gross? Yeah, it is. Okay. Last one is either popcorn or rotten egg. Okay. Yeah, it's rotten egg. Ew. So gross. At least you get all of this candy now. Thank you. And you can have these too. I don't want those. Um, bye. No, thanks I guess. We are really excited to FaceTime one of you and we've already skipped a letter. Did you write it down? Did you know which one it was? H was Hudson's idea. I know you've been wanting to do this for a very long time. Three, two, one, go. It's a hot air balloon race? Yup. Yay, this is so fun. Thank you. Of course. Come on, let's go. Come on over. Whoa, this is crazy. Welcome on board everybody. Oh, oh, ah, whoa. Bye. H is for hot air balloon. Now would be a good time to mention. I'm kind of afraid of heights. How do you face your fear? I don't want to face my fear. I'm terrified of heights. That's our crew. It's so cool. Look at that view. This is not even real right now. We're up here at about 900 feet above the ground and where we're going to land, I have no idea. Wait, did you say you don't know where we're going to land? I do not know where we're going to land. Um, okay. Since we have no idea where we're landing, Rowan and Colin, I guess are going to have to try and find us. Oh my gosh. That looks so much fun. Now we get to chase them. Chase them? They must be freaking out. It's like so cold. That must be so scary. They, they cannot be enjoying this. Whoa. Okay. I just checked find my iPhone and they're like miles away. How are we supposed to find them? It's such a nice view. When we get to S, I hope we get to snowboard on the mountain. I think S is going to be for shower. Are you scared? No. You're not scared at all? No. So you're not afraid of heights? Uh, Jordan, we're trying to follow you. How am I supposed, how am I supposed to tell you where we are? We're up in the sky. Can't you see us? Are they above us? This is my favorite letter yet. Right now we're actually headed down and it looks like we're going right to the highway. What happens if we land on a car? Hopefully it's a flatbed truck. He's way too casual about this. Where are you guys? Just leave me on read. If you want to know why Hudson picked H hot air balloon, you're gonna have to go to his channel and check it out. He just posted a video. Is I can save you because this is a really nice view. Well, it wasn't going to be, but let's make it that. Are we going to land in this guy's house? There they are. Oh my gosh. Colin, they're right there. Come on, come on, come on. There's our shadow. And look at how close we are to this house. Whoa. We were so high. Oh, wow. Okay. Whoa. That was sick. I'm going to kiss the ground. That was so fun. That was awesome. Yeah. Jay is for jacuzzi. I could stay here forever. You could stay here forever, but actually we have to move on to K. So let's go. We got to do it all in one day. K is for killer snow. Whoa. Hey, not me. Stop. I've got a new, I got a new plan. This is Rowan and Colin and they made the drive all the way from LA to film this video and for their troubles, they're about to get pelted with snowballs. Because I do not want my kids to fight. Instead. I'm going to let them fight these guys. First. One of you kids is able to take a snowball and hit the lens of the camera wins this round. Are you guys ready? Ready? Sure. Go. That's it. The trend. That was the lens, right? It's over. Just hit the lens. Hit the lens. That's it. Hit the lens. Salish won. How was that? You guys good? I quit. Wait, actually. No, you can't. We're not done the video. Come on. Seriously. Whenever we go on vacation, we try to do something local. So today for, and we're going to milk a cow. I am not milking a cow. First, I need to give her some salt. I can. Wait, I'm putting more. Oh, there she goes. I think here we go. Yep. With this milk, I'm going to get a really good save on salt. Oh, sorry. I accidentally sprayed it on her. In a couple of weeks, I'll have enough for a small little cup of coffee. This is not what I expected doing today. She's such a city girl. It looks so amazing. I don't want to hurt her. You don't have to hurt her. I can't. Oh, I'm hurting her. Oh my gosh. Whoa. I'm actually milking a cow. This is pretty cool. I got way more than that's in. Next level. Oh, oh, oh, oh. All the work we did. All that hard work. Wait, I just used that? Oh my gosh. So Delaney, have you been counting? Did we skip any letters yet? Have you started to put the word together to use in the comments? No. Delaney? No. I guess Delaney is not counting. Are you guys counting? This is fresh milk. Oh, it's good, isn't it? Yeah. All right. You ready for the next letter? Yeah. Since Colorado is in the Wild West, N is going to be for new style. And we are going to transform into a cowboy and cowgirl. Wait, what? Is this cowgirl? Wait, dad, I have a way better idea. How about I style you first and then you style me at the end. Okay. You need boots, a shirt, a hat, and I think I kind of like your jeans. First thing, we have to get you a shirt. Nope, not your style. No. Yeah, I like this. Too light green for your eyes. I have green eyes, look. What about? I like this. I can rock. I don't like it. Very cowboy action. I like this one. No. Nope, this one it is. So I think we should get you a vest. Come on, dad. I'm not a vest guy. You never know until you try. How about this one? No, that's leather. Uh-uh. Okay. Good point. Clashes, no clashes, too clashy. What about this one? Okay. You know, when I was younger, people used to say I looked like Clint Eastwood. Stop the cow. Is that just for old people? Next, some boots. The perfect boot will make him look like a total cowboy. Dad, do you like the black one? I mean, I'm not a cowboy is the thing. I'm a total city guy. I don't know how I'm going to look like a cowboy. Perfect. Now we got to get in a hat. I've never been a cowboy hat guy. Well, you won't be today. No, too dark, too dark, too light. No. Do you like it? No. Well, then why'd you go? Oh, wait a minute. Okay. I'm going to become a cowboy now. Howdy. Howdy, man. Hold on. One more. Howdy, ma'am. What do you think, Zay? Cowboy Jordan, now it's your turn. Let's get you styled. I'm not actually going to get styled. No, no, you're not actually. I mean, you look great, but no thanks. No, you guys probably knew she was going to do that, didn't you? So I guess we're not doing the cowboy theme today. I would have done it. All right. Next is Pete for pedicure. Wait, I never get a pedicure on vacation. Well, you're going to do it today. Okay. This sounds good. Fun. I obviously have to decide what color I want. I think this would be a little bit too bold for me. Usually I would get white, but I'm not feeling white today. Even though I like purple, I don't really like it on my nails. I kind of like this color. I feel like this color is like really pretty and it'll be really sheer. I'm going to get this one. To be honest, I'm giving her this treat right now because I don't want her to be angry at me when she finds out what Z is. So right now I'm getting a pedicure with my grandma and my mom. Wait, you can not show her yet. It's not time for a reveal. Anyways, let's go on to Q. Q is for quiz and there's a little bit of a twist. You're going down. You're going down, little girl. First question, who's the bigger tattletale? Yeah. They each have one hand behind their back, so this doesn't get totally out of control. Who's more likely to remember their chores? She's a goody two shoes, all right? Who's more dramatic? Who's more charming? Okay, literally everyone loves Hudson. Who's more likely to become president? Who has the better taste in clothes? I think I dress pretty well, but I got to give this one to Salish. Who's the better snowboarder? Who's most likely to go on their first date? Not her, not her. She's four years younger. Who will be the first person to get a boyfriend or girlfriend? Definitely Salish. For those of you out there who are saying, well, Salish are already dating the doll because they went on a date. No, they decided that was friendship, right? Friendship. Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. Friendship. Ours were all climbing. This is really high. I don't know if I can do it. There you go. Say, say. Whoa. This one is actually really hard. Go for it. That's how you got it. This is so hard. My arms are shaking. Can I do it? Yeah, you can. Of course you can. You did it. I did it. Finally, what I've been waiting for all day. My S is for snowboarding. It usually takes me a little bit of time to get warmed up because I don't snowboard every day. That was really bad. I couldn't keep up with her. Can we just do S for the rest of the day? Nope. No. We've been coming to Steamboat every year since I was really little. And I have so many great memories here. At first, I learned to ski, but Hudson snowboards, so I switched. It's really fun. And every year, I've gotten a little better. From snowboarding to do letter T, obviously a TikTok, duh. So when you're on vacation, you have to get the coolest location and the cringiest person you know. My dad. Okay, that was my knee. I would much prefer that Hudson had to do this dance, but he's on the slope somewhere going like really fast with mom. So we couldn't reach him. Get it, girl. Oh, yeah. Good. How'd it go? Will you post it? Will you actually post it? Like I'm going to get a Salish Matter post? What? The Layla is slaying the queen. Hey, Hudson, how are you doing? So mom and I are at Urgent Care right now. We're just checked out. It really hurts, but I'm hoping it's nothing too serious. Okay. All right. Well, we're on our way. We'll be there in a couple of minutes. I love you. All right. Bye. Wait, wait, dad. I'm at Urgent Care. Okay. I'm tapping you for the video. Sure. You is Urgent Care. He's got a sense of humor even when he's hurt. I think he was snowboarding a little too fast, but let's go see. Hope he's okay. All right. So I may have gotten in a little bit of an accident. I fell on my snowboard and I broke my wrist. It does hurt a lot. Trust me, but I'm not going to let this ruin our vacation. Don't use for water slides. Oh boy. Oh my gosh. This is so scary. Well, that was so fun. Doing a vacation in one day is no joke. I'm exhausted. And by the way, Hudson can come because he can't get his cast wet, but he's having a good W anyway. W is for wild huckaberry ice cream. That's some good stuff. X is for XL gymnastics. She insisted on this one. Now I know XL is actually EX, but she had to get her gymnastics in. So here we are. Okay. Whoa. A little help? Dude, I actually have a claustrophobia thing and this is freaking me out. The only thing I know about foam pits that I like is that I can just... As a gymnast, I can't go a whole week without practicing. I'm afraid I'll lose all of my skills. So wherever we go, I always try and find a gym that will let me work out. I hope to see you for sleeping. Have you guys been counting letters? Did we skip all our letters yet? Did you figure out a word? Finally, I'm done. Oh my goodness. What's Y? Y is for yoga. If they think this is hard, Z is going to be even worse. I can not hold it together. I think I've been up two more. Maybe if I can get calm enough, the pain in my wrist will go away. We're going to try some yoga poses. Yeah. Not the move. Okay. We're going to take two big breaths. Sorry. It's the altitude. Bend into your right knee. Yeah. So is it a problem? I don't feel it. You're showing off right now. Is that even good form right there? No, but I'm telling you. What am I doing? That's a splant. I'm a gymnast. I'm sorry. We've been up for a long time. We're a little... No, but I'm better. No, but I did it. You know what the thing is... Stay with it. Oh yeah. We'll try some splits. The first steps to getting into your splits are, you're going to pick one foot to go forward. What about pushups? Oh, you think you're cool? Okay. Oh, you want some of this? Oh, okay. Oh, we do the roll. Oh, you want to do a clap? I don't care. That's too much. You're cool? Okay. A little help. Home. That's not the vibe. Home. Is that better? Home. I want to do the splits. Home. Oh yeah. Okay. Here I go. Oh, okay. That wasn't good. We're just going to... They haven't done their splits yet. Do they take... We're just going to... We're going to just take a minute. I'm going to take... Do they take minutes in the oven? That was super easy. Let's go to Z. We are at the final letter. I know you guys have had a very long day, but this happens to be the best letter of all, because we are going to zip down the mountain at midnight under a full moon. And it is going to be the most exciting thing we've ever done. So let's get on our ski clothes and we're... Guys. Actually. Please.
