Making precious and memorable time with your family is one of the important moments in our lives. Thank you for being an example of a partnership that values family time!❤❤
That was sooo fun!!!! I also agree with your comment about the wind turbines - they are HUGE! I have to say that your children are delightful! They are always smiling when you film them (even though I know they must have their moments when maybe they are not). They look very happy and apparently full of adventure too. Thanks for sharing your trip as parts of the states you may show I will never visit - so I'm enjoying living vicariously through you.
Thanks so much for taking us along your adventures. I have never traveled through that part of Texas. So beautiful. Your kids are real troopers. This family fun reminds me of all our family trips to National Parks our family of 7 started out from MN. At age 70, we still enjoy re-telling stories & laughing about all our adventures. Your kids will be telling this to their families. So blessed to have this time together. May you travel safe and enjoy your time together.🐾
Thanks for taking us along! I had fun just watching. The canyon was amazing and house you stayed in was perfect size for your family. Can’t wait to see Part Two!
When my granddaughters were small and we family traveled like you are doing. We googled the towns we went through to find their history. We learned so much and it was so funny and so interesting. Be safe
Wow! You looked so young then! We celebrated our 15th, twenty one years ago. I don't think we could do a hike like that though now. It's more like to the end of our driveway. Tbh, we live in the country, so it's a hike in itself, lol. It's so beautiful there! Friends of the family lived in Abilene, but have since passed away. They lived all over Canada and the US, and chose there, to finally make their roots. Thanks for sharing your vacay! It's nice to see some play after all the hard work!
Such a fun family trip, and the hike was beautiful and very impressed with the kids pushing it and making it to the top!! Excellent job!! Vacations are what summers are all about!! My parents took us on some really great trips and they are some of my fondest memories now!! Can’t wait to see the other half of the trip…I should grab some popcorn!! Happy trails to you until we meet again!! 👍💕🙏🇺🇸😊🐾
Hey Creatives need breaks too. So often I hear this is what you are good at, it’s your passion but even us creatives need a break in order to be great!!! I completely understand as an interior designer myself!! Take ALL the time I say! From one DIY wife to another ✌🏾
What a great video guys! I really love all your DIY projects, but now I’ve even gotten to go on holidays with you & your sweet family ❤ Thanks for mixing it up a bit & for including us in your family adventures! Can’t wait til the next one. Luv from Oz 🇦🇺🥰💕
9:00 - that plane wasn’t landing, it was cropdusting. Carhenge is down the road from the Big Texan. I stopped there when I drove through Amarillo last summer. Weirdly, it isn’t nearly as kitschy as the inside of that restaurant.
My daughter and I drove from Alabama to Arizona early this week! I enjoyed all the wonderful scenery on our trip! Those turbine are cool to look at! I didn't know you had a daughter
I love your channel, regardless of content... you have a great dynamic and lovely family, so I'm happy to watch whatever makes you happy! As an artist myself, I totally understand the need to take a creative break! Looking forward to following your summer adventures! Love from Dubai xx
Great family Vacation. I am a hat lady & never go anywhere in the sun without one. Hope you discover how awesome they are…..Thanks, for sharing your trip. Hoping to head out that way soon in my RV from Indiana. Did it in 2021. But, fires prevented me from going through Colorado. Only got to Colorado Springs. Happy Belated Anniversary!!
What fun, can't wait for more. Great video. Belated happy anniversary. What wonderful memories. I live in Colorado and can't wait to see what all you do here!
Ahh so lovely that your taking us along on your holiday adventures 😊 I would love to see America one day (I'm UK based,) but until then I love watching these style vlogs. Thankyou and hope you enjoy the next leg of your adventure ❤ xxx
I enjoyed watching your summer adventure. Great video and narrating. Always great to spend family time on vacation and get a break from everyday life to reset. And you are so right it is hot in TX during these three mos. BTW, you passed thru my town about 30 miles after you pasted thru Waco. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
I love this. thank you for sharing it. It's a great way for others to see other parts of the country and have an idea of things do and places to visit if they will be in that part of the country.
Oh no. That looks like Plainview. With the feedlots and ethanol plants next to each other, the smell... they say that is the smell of money. Hope you get to go to Caprock canyons also. Lots of history there, their visitors center is the best. Thanks for sharing.
OMG that place ye stayed is in is so cool, after watching that I feel like I have to see Big Texas.....weird and all as it looks. Can't wait for the rest of the road trip.
Gads....you managed to make me miss the Canyon. We lived up there for 7 years. Many times camping in the canyon on a "river". Of course, it was red water. They have opened up more of the canyon since I was there. So much has changed.
Enjoyed this video so much!! It was exciting to see Palo Dura Canyon. I have never been there and didnt realize how neautiful it is. So glad you went when you did!! 🤗😎
Oh wow! I live in Amarillo! I am so glad y’all were able to hike to the lighthouse. I have never been Abe to hike that so I am so glad y’all did as filmed it. The other cool thing is my Grandson works at the BigTexan. He is one of their even managers. My granddaughter worked i the candy shop for a little while. Did y’all Tobin the gift shop and see the huge rattlesnake? We have had an unusual amount of rain this year!
4 mins to eat that steak was a madness she wouldnt even be able to taste how good it was lol, the views around the lighthouse were amazing your kids are super stars as there is no way mine would have walked that far in that heat, cant wait for the next episode in this adventure, lots of love from the UK xx
What beautiful scenery in Amarillo. Yep, everything's big in Texas. Look at that steak. I wouldn't be up for that challenge. Enjoy the rest of your journey. xoxo
Wow! So exciting! We just left that area. My hometown is just a bit north of Amarillo. We missed out on the canyon because it was closed. We are back in Virginia after visiting family in Texas. Enjoy your vacation. I think it’s awesome to have those family times. Can’t wait to see your next adventure in Colorado.
@@diywife retracing your honeymoon trip will be something your kids will treasure. The first date/movie my husband and I watched was Home Alone. It came on TV about 10 years later and I told our daughter. We all watched it together. She’s married now and I spent Christmas with her family (newborn). She turned on Home Alone. Kids like to connect to their parents on that level. The teen years not so much but that only last about 4-5 years.

Good on you two for vacationing with your kids! They don’t forget those vacations.
"Since vans are basically jeeps..." best line I've heard all year.
Thanks for taking us along! I had fun just watching. The canyon was amazing and house you stayed in was perfect size for your family. Can’t wait to see Part Two!
Love, love, love your vacation videos
I want to start a family when I see you guys. What a beatiful family.
Have a wonderful vacation!
Happy Anniversary. So great of you to take the kids. My idea of celebrating too.
We're so excited to get to see a different side of DIY wife!!! This is so awesome!!😊
When my granddaughters were small and we family traveled like you are doing. We googled the towns we went through to find their history. We learned so much and it was so funny and so interesting. Be safe
Looking forward to the rest of your travels!! So beautiful! And so brave to travel with four children. That takes some organization.
What a beautiful family.the kids are so well mannered ❤️
I enjoyed the video and can't wait until y'all's next trip.❤
Road trips are my favorite. Seems you’ve got a fun one planned here. Enjoy to the max!
Lovely to see your holiday experience. What an advertisement for Texas, now I want to visit. Love your UA-cam channel

Your photography + narration are just exquisite. And the fam? Adorable! Thanks for sharing ❤
My husband was in Tech school at Amarillo AFB. We visited Palo Duro Canyon then. This was 1959!!!
Loving your travels.

I like the change up. And I agree that we draw inspiration from the parts of our life we explore and rest. Looking forward to journey with you.

@@diywife 😁

Hi , you inspired me sooooo much love your videos.
SO COOL - THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONG!
We now know what you two really like to do all them kids
Ps your kids are as much fun as you are!
Safe travels.... and Happy 15th Anniversary!
Loved the “Chip” call! 🤪
A great twist and out of the box idea. Dean, this was your idea!!
It was actually a mutual idea between Andrea and myself!
