I always cringe just a little when I see you explaining things that you really shouldn't have to, or when I read negative comments, or comments trying to tell you how to parent your medically complex child with special needs. You guys are obviously wonderful parents, your other children are cute, funny, well rounded, smart, loving, kind, amazing children. I am sorry that people in the past have made you feel the need to explain why your husband had a gun, or why Liam didn't have a hot dog. You guys are great parents, I love your vlogs, thanks for sharing your family with us, and for educating us on Cornelia De Lange.
A dad that wants to be with the family on Father's day, what a blessing. It looked like you had the park all to yourselves, perfect weather and making forever memories. Little Freya looked tired but still was part of everything. What a joy to be home in your bed at night!
Loved seeing you and your beautiful family hanging out in nature. Being in nature is the most healing thing ever! I take my 78 years young mama out in nature as often as possible, she just beams!
It looks like you live in Gods country❤ Gorgeous. What a great way to spend Father’s Day weekend. Freya’s high ponytail is so cute. I’m a big fan of Sebastian, in fact that’s how I learned about your channel. I hope and pray that Sebastian is able to physically move around as well Freya does someday.
Letting Freya explore is fantastic, as she, too needs to have fun. I loved her sitting in her big girl's chair and how her sisters brought her a buttercup flower. That was so super cute, and I know it's silly, but that moved me. Your family is amazing with such great kids and parented by a wonderful mum and dad. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, that fresh mountain air is good for you! Looks like everyone had a good time. I'm with you Marci - not a fan of over night camping. I'm not into testing the bears or getting chewed up by mosquitoes. But it's also nice to get out of the house for a day! Thanks for taking us along!
The scenery where live is STUNNING! Loved the couple of stiles you got... it's Freya siting on the blanket alone, the other Suki (sic) is lying in the grass...just beautiful!!! If you ever wondered about the hearts smiley emojis, they were to represent the kids but since it's father day I am going to throw in smileys and heart for the big folks in the family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hey there fellow Utahn! We're over in Washington so not too far from y'all. I had to pop in and say we are also huge fans of day camping even call it day camping ourselves. Back when my 8 year old was baby we went on a big family camp out. Oh man that was rough. I decided camping was out of the picture for us until my boys were older...thus day camping started. I've never heard of any one else doing this so I thought it was pretty neat when you mentioned it. We've been doing it for years! It really is the best of both worlds. My kiddos are older now and we love to sneak in a real camp trip when we can but we still day camp pretty often (it's my husband’s preferred way to camp). My favorite is hit up Duck Creek late August into September right before the parks shut down usually on a weekday or a Sunday when it's not as busy. So many good memories there. We pop into Pine Valley pretty often as well. Last year I went on a solo camp trip in Pine Valley with just myself and a huge stack of books.....heavenly. I also like to go solo camping with my boys when we can. What a great place we live in for all the camping adventures, just a day stop or full day of camping!
I love you popcorn popper! We are going camping in a few weeks and that looks like a perfect addition to our camping supplies. Looks like it was a beautiful day!
I never liked camping either...I just can't fall asleep on the ground..it's so uncomfortable. My Grandson made me laugh a few years back: he went camping with the Scouts, and when he came home I asked him how he liked it. He said, "we just would walk around during the day, and eat boring meals in foil at night"....The way he said it really made me laugh 🙂
...she is so stinkin' cute coz she looks like her fam!❤ great video! I hafta laugh...I just turned to my husband and said "someone is going to ask Marci if she's punishing Liam by withholding food" and...lol
I’m with you Mama. I’ll take a cushy bed thank you. I’m a Hotel girl, my late Husband loved camping. He 5:36 and my Dad and Son would go. 🥴 Beautiful scenery and the air looks so clear. I love what you do to Freyas hair. Super sweet. I miss my Border Collie when I see your Dog. I’m alone now and getting old.😉Fresh popped corn tastes so much better than Micro in my opinion. I glad to spend te day with you. Love from, me 💕💋🙋🏼💗❤️
What a beautiful spot for „day camping“ and spending quality family time in nature together. I really love that you do that as a family. How many kids never get to experience that! I come from a very abusive and dysfunctional family, which kind of explains to me why I enjoy your family videos, but only in part. You‘re so fun and refreshing to watch because you respect each other and allow your kids to each develop in their own individual way. Thank you for taking us with you on this wonderful outing! And happy Father’s Day to Chris!
😂 he just broke them the other day and he is an eye appointment this week. He cannot see without them so this is how he has to get by for a week or so.
@@Freyasluckyarm I empathize. Bending and generally destroying glasses is a hobby of mine but I don't have the art of wearing them in that state! I'm glad he has an appointment soon
In my experience living with a disabled child is changing. Most families I know try to figure out a way to do all the things they did before their disabled child. They find ways to include them
🤦🏼♀️ we were just saying that this pair had lasted a whole year and he broke them while jumping on the trampoline. Luckily his eye appointment is this week and we will get a new prescription
Bless you Chris with that big sneeze! My Geology girl Freya is loving her rocks too! Oh what fun day camping is! One question. How prevalent is the Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick in your area? They are known to carry Lyme disease. I am concerned because my then 20 yr old son spent ten years fighting Lyme. It was a terrible time. But we still love rocks!
That looked like so much fun, Marci! I love the idea of day camping. That is a beautiful place that you went to. It has not warmed up much here in Maryland. It doesn’t feel like summer at all. Freya was having a ball with her sisters and brother! You have the nicest family, I love how everyone interacts together. Happy Father’s Day to Chris! Sending you all my love and hugs, God bless you all 🤗🙏🏼❤️
We're getting the same temps here in the Boston area, Today it's 60 degrees and rain. It's normally 85+ in June. Saving on the central air/electricity at least! Kissing the food is so cute.
Oh this is awesome. We do not have mountains in the Netherlands. So i love, this kind of video's. We go sometimes to Germany, to experience a little bit of "mountains". Looks like you guys had a lot of fun 😊
That’s some beautiful scenery. Great day out, and fun was had by all. The fireside popcorn maker was pretty cool. I have never seen one of those before. Did Freya get to try a taste of marshmallow?
What a fun peaceful day with the family! 🙏🏽I will be taking a page from your book! Also, I had a question - when Freya moves her arms in that fast repetitive motion, is that also a sensory thing like spinning? Keeping her aware of where she is in space?
Thinking about Freya's hearing - I noticed that she turned her head to the side when she was playing with the rocks, as though to hear the sound a bit better. Is that something that she does often?
@@Freyasluckyarm Because when we lost power I tried to cook stuff in the fireplace and it all came out like smoky like nasty I didn’t have a good taste maybe that’s cause it was inside my fireplace we had no power for a week I was trying to cook turned out like the taste was awful
Hi Marci, my name is Christopher but please feel free to call me Chris. I have a disability myself called autism. Now, since you hate sleeping in tents, then might I suggest sleeping in a camper trailer or RV next time y’all go camping. Oh, and since y’all had a campfire, I know a song that you can sing around the campfire, you can sing it a cappella or while someone is playing an acoustic guitar. Marci, do you know this song called “The Other Day I Met a Bear”? Because if not, could I give you the lyrics to it?
@@FreyasluckyarmYes an RV might be suitable for you. Now if you would like for me to send you the lyrics to the song “The Other Day I Met a Bear”, please let me know. Also let me know if you have another way of teaching it to your kids
You need to bring wiffle ball, bad mitten, kickball, something. The kids are so well behaved, as they always are but they looked bored. Make a bingo card for each child with things to find like, bird feather, pine needle, white rock etc.
Chris needs something bigger than a pistol for protection against bears and mountain lions. Wether it’s leagal or not,if you go to the mountains you need a gun

He is a great dad. It is a space you can rent out so we were the only ones there. So nice definitely the way to do it
Beautiful day for your family, puts a smile on my face, take care from Australia 🇦🇺
It looks as if you all had a great day. Freya had fun playing. Let your husband know Happy Father's Day.
Thank you, I will
Wow Freya’s sitting up by herself. The doggy is cute.
Loved seeing you and your beautiful family hanging out in nature. Being in nature is the most healing thing ever! I take my 78 years young mama out in nature as often as possible, she just beams!

It’s so good to see your family doing family things
@Freya’s Lucky Arm Happy Father’s Day to Chris

Thank you so much. The bond my kids have with Freya moves me too
It's so nice to see you out as a family and taking us with you and I noticed you have over 1 million views on your videos have a great week.
Really?! That is cool I hadn’t seen that
I love Freya's Sippy cup!

I never thought about day camping. What a cool idea !
It’s the best!
Beautiful place for a beautiful family including the fluffy one❣ 💞💞
Thank you
Freya with her cute ponytail! Happy Fathers Day!
Nature is always the best medicine for escaping and relaxation!
It really is!
Such a beautiful place to be! Freya did great and everyone will get a good nights sleep in their own bed, perfect!
Freya is so cute!!😊 Beautiful family! Thanks for sharing your day with us. ❤😊 🙏
Our pleasure!

I love you popcorn popper! We are going camping in a few weeks and that looks like a perfect addition to our camping supplies. Looks like it was a beautiful day!
It is so great! We found it at an outdoor store. It’s called sportsman’s warehouse here.

Our weather here in Washington has been all over the place this summer. One day it’s 90 and then it goes to 60!
It’s been wild!
Awe get a big tent. The kids would love it.... fun
What a great day! Thanks for taking us with you. "Graham crackers are an underrated cookie." -- Spot on, Chris! Happy Father's Day!
😂 he loves them
So much family fun. Good for you guys. Freya is sitting up so good❣️❣️
She is doing amazing! She picked it up so fast.
Liam was right , great pic of Suki (spelling?). Beautiful day camp spot. Thanks for sharing Marci. Hugs from Texas🤠
Yes that’s how we spell Suki very cute pictures for sure
Amazing family day. I love seeing you all together. I like my marshmallows very done. Almost black. Lol great video. Great kids❤
What a beautiful place to chill out with the family. 🤗made me want popcorn. Ha
It was so good!
Looks beautiful not far from you home, gorgeous
It is!

We have had almost no fires in the west so far! I love fresh popped popcorn we do air pop at home most times
I wonder if Freya has her own mp3 player? She might really enjoy picking songs from a manageable list. Maybe the device could be wearable?

I also come from a very dysfunctional family. Which is why I choose to parent the way I do.
The cool, nonchalant way your son wears those glasses is enviable!
😂 he just broke them the other day and he is an eye appointment this week. He cannot see without them so this is how he has to get by for a week or so.
@@Freyasluckyarm I empathize. Bending and generally destroying glasses is a hobby of mine but I don't have the art of wearing them in that state! I'm glad he has an appointment soon
You guys always have a fun time together. You are such good parents and it truly shows how much you enjoy spending time with your family.
Thank you so much! We do love spending time as a fanily
That's good they still go places or take her places . Most families don't do that

I personally have never seen a tick here
@@Freyasluckyarm Did I say something wrong?
No I was just saying I have never seen a tick so they must not be too prevalent
@@Freyasluckyarmwhat a blessing ticks are nasty
Mommy makes me sooo cute!
I thought for a second that you were cooking an egg yolk on the pop corn popper... and then realised it was the handle.
Happy Fathers day Chris
😂
Frey’s looks so content what a wonderful bunch of kids you guys have
They are pretty amazing

I love it so much!
Peaceful day HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

I love her kissing the food. It my new favorite thing
Yum. Enjoy yourself. 💗
Zuki is so adorable too ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is such a great dog! She stays right by us and is so sweet
Your asking Freya if she’s chewing on the chair, I’m shaking my head yes, next stop Psych Wardfor me🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 I do that too
Oh this is awesome. We do not have mountains in the Netherlands. So i love, this kind of video's. We go sometimes to Germany, to experience a little bit of "mountains". Looks like you guys had a lot of fun 😊

I do that with My popcorn on the pan on the stove but I’ve never done that on the grill like that
That’s some beautiful scenery. Great day out, and fun was had by all. The fireside popcorn maker was pretty cool. I have never seen one of those before. Did Freya get to try a taste of marshmallow?
She didn’t want to. She didn’t like how sticky it was
What a fun peaceful day with the family! 🙏🏽I will be taking a page from your book!
Also, I had a question - when Freya moves her arms in that fast repetitive motion, is that also a sensory thing like spinning? Keeping her aware of where she is in space?
Yes! I think it is. She tended to do it when excited as a baby but now I see her doing it more often especially when she is crawling around.
@@Freyasluckyarm that makes sense! That feels like such growth that she is able to attach more than one meaning or purpose to an action!
Lol i did wander about Liam's hot dogs ? Funny my 11 yrs old grandson does not like hot dogs either ...
I knew a lot of people would
Μπράβο. Τι ωραία που περνάτε στην εξοχή. Εγώ δεν πορω να το κάνω αυτό. Φοβάμαι πολύ, γιατί είμαι αλλεργικη❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
Liam has to take 2 types of allergy medicine whenever we go up the mountain.
Thinking about Freya's hearing - I noticed that she turned her head to the side when she was playing with the rocks, as though to hear the sound a bit better. Is that something that she does often?
Not that I have noticed but to be honest I haven’t paid much attention. I will have to keep an eye on that
Liam was being so sweet when he wanted to take the perfect pic of Suki in the grass so we could use it as our wallpaper 🐾💜
Everybody wants Suki wallpaper😂
You can’t deny the cuteness!
❤🙏❤️
I love camping and I miss it so much because of being in a wheelchair now.
Camping is not very accessible in most cases. We do have a couple of paved camp grounds around that we could access when Freya needs a wheelchair.
Doesn’t taste like charcoal because I tried to do that my fireplace when we have no power and it doesn’t taste good anything else stuck in there
No it doesn’t surprisingly.
@@Freyasluckyarm Because when we lost power I tried to cook stuff in the fireplace and it all came out like smoky like nasty I didn’t have a good taste maybe that’s cause it was inside my fireplace we had no power for a week I was trying to cook turned out like the taste was awful
@@Freyasluckyarm wow And we lost power I tried to cook in my fireplace but it all the food was nasty it stunk

Thank you we looked it up on UA-cam.
Is your husband as patient as you are, he seems really good with the kids.
He is even more so than me. We both a pretty easy going but he wins that prize.
Also give the kids the camera and award a homemade ribbon for the best.
You need to bring wiffle ball, bad mitten, kickball, something. The kids are so well behaved, as they always are but they looked bored. Make a bingo card for each child with things to find like, bird feather, pine needle, white rock etc.
Is it legal to carry a firearm where you're camping?
Yes Chris has a permit to carry a firearm.
Not big fan of marshmallows. So I only have one or two when camping then iam done
There’s no rivers there to get in I love rivers
Not here but close. It’s just on the other side of the road. We have had so much moisture it was going very quickly.
What happen to his glasses? Poor dude. Lol
He broke them while doing tricks on the trampoline. We have ordered new ones.
Sweet notice Freya has a eye infection
She does a lot due to her small tear ducts. It’s not quite infected yet just clogged because of seasonal allergies
Chris needs something bigger than a pistol for protection against bears and mountain lions.
Wether it’s leagal or not,if you go to the mountains you need a gun
😂 agreed.
They have lived there for a long time. I'm sure they know what they need.
