EPIC FAMILY ROAD TRIP EPISODE 22 // This week we head from Ohio back into Ontario, Canada to our Cottage for Canadian thanksgiving and to shut down the cabin for winter. We then head to our cousins ranch for a fun weekend of enjoying the crisp Ontario fall weather, horse back riding through forest trials, then we set up the Jeep camp for a campout in their back forty. We have dinner, sing songs, play guitar and have fun together around the camp fire. We also do some Jeeping through forest trails surrounded by stunning fall colours.
Welcome to another episode of the epic family road trip.
Do you notice we didn't get a video last week because we've been incredibly busy but we're
catching up this week and combining the two weeks together to give you an awesome
epic family road trip video. We started in Ohio and then went up to Ontario where we still are now.
In Ontario we went up to the island which you've seen before up north and we spent a beautiful
weekend enjoying the colours and the beautiful fall weather. This morning we left our friend's
house in Ohio, our friends, our family Keith and Caitlin and that's Urbano, Ohio really kind of
central and drove all the way through Ohio then through Michigan, crossed into Canada and Detroit
and then drove all the way across southern Ontario and we're almost in 29 minutes we'll be in Barrie,
that's a long haul but we wanted to cover some ground so looking forward to getting my jacket
that I left there about a month ago hopefully it's still there and having some wings at Buffalo
Wild Wings. Buffalo Wild Wings and I finally got my jacket back my good old Patagonia. I missed it
we left it here last time we ate here which was just before we headed to Quebec City and Newfoundland
and all that so we made a big road trip since then all the way down to Florida and then back
up here so I'm just happy to have it because it's fall time and it's the perfect time for a nice
cozy jacket. Thanks for hanging on to it Buffalo Wild Wings in Barrie. Now we're going to get some
hot hot smoking hot wild wings. Morning it's raining just went and got a couple of Timmy's
extra tall tubs of coffee some donuts for the kids we got a huddle coming up at 7 30.
It is Thanksgiving Monday so happy Thanksgiving all the all every Canadian out there
and all my American family and friends we get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice. We're
getting up ready ready to hit the road this rain was unexpected it's actually the remnants of
Hurricane Nate which whistled through hit somewhere in Louisiana and just kind of raced up
the mainland U.S. and we're just catching the tail end of it with nothing but a big old rain cloud
no wind to speak of but here we are we spent the night in the Ontour which is one of the best
places man they're all across Ontario we love it and now we've got a big day ahead of us
we'll see you soon. We had our coffee we had our breakfast we had our morning huddle and now we are
everybody's working on their different tasks and we're heading up to the lake for Thanksgiving.
We didn't prepare for Thanksgiving shopping buying the turkey and all that stuff and all
the stores are closed today but thankfully Sobeys up in Parry Sound was open and we were
able to get everything we need so Thanksgiving is saved. Happy Thanksgiving y'all. Good morning we
are packing up everything and putting it all away just in case we don't come back up
getting the canoe away from the water we might come back up if the weather's nice but
if not at least we know everything's winterized and put away. Hey Pete.
We spent some time shutting down the island and prepping it for for the winter months ahead
and then after that we came here to beautiful Hockley Valley where we're currently stationed
with our motorhome and jeep and we are catching up on all kinds of things like
doctor's appointments dentist appointments um spending a lot of time doing homeschool everything
from a couple of passports that need to be renewed um getting our driver's licenses uh

whole family and we're going to show you some of the footage from that riding horses fishing
