✅ In This Video
As the saying goes, the house Always Wins! RVing in Vegas was supposed to bring luck.. Well, while sharing another embarrassing RV story, the RV Odd Couple share about Gambling gone wrong in Nevada. Camping at a Casino is a new experience, but those bright lights, flashing machines, and bells ringing got the youngest member of their family into trouble. This is a full-time family story that will bring you a good chuckle.
If you’re considering the RV Lifestyle, you got to take the good with the bad. Some of these experiences might sound ridiculous, but when you RV full time, you never know where the journey will take you. This is a judgement free zone.

I hope Santa brings Sage a slot machine.
😂. Oh that's hysterical!
No kidding
🤣😂🤣😂
LOL
😆 🤣 😂
What a coincidence, my wife and I were at the casino and saw you leaving, we had a good laugh. After raising 5 children of our own knew exactly what you were going through. We are fulltime Rv'ers and are staying at an RV park in Kingman AZ and frequently visit the casinos in Laughlin. I just happened to stumble upon your channel today. Have a blessed New Year !
💚💚💚😂
That's freaking funny!!
Out of three children, two threw wild tantrums. And as an Army wife, (this is many years ago now) my husband was always deployed-so I was essentially on my own. I remember those days like they were yesterday. So while we weren’t RVing- they would often be in a new place, filled with strangers due to a recent move, watching me, some with understanding stares, some not-so-much, just as you showed us. I suffered the “slings and arrows” too, what can you do? You just get through it with the Grace of God and His strength. How kind of you to share your struggle. No less being escorted with security. I laughed until tears came to my eyes. But that is how you roll and I thank you for that. Still impatiently waiting for delivery of our Jayco Greyhawk Prestige now predicted for March/April 2021. Hope to find you in person at a meet up someday in the future when we do have our rig. In the meantime- thank you for your realness in putting it out there and may you have a blessed, safe Merry Christmas & New Year.
You Get it Carol💚💚💚 but for the Grace of God...Thank you, God Bless, and thank you for your Service.
New Intro: “ Hi, I’m John and I’m Mercedes. Long story short, we sold most of our possessions to support or child’s gambling addiction.. Because life’s too short not to just risk it all with your kid!” Awesome video...sorry you guys had to go through that, but at least you can laugh about it now. God Bless you guys, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Love you guys!
PERFECT Mike!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Thank you for the laugh buddy💚💚💚Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈
Lol!
Oh that was a good laugh 😆 Thanks!
You're enabling your child's addiction.
When she turns 21 you need to go back and recreate this video.
On the positive side .... at least Sage didn't beeline for the bar screaming "I need to get my drink on"!!!!
May God richly bless you in 2021!
Andy & Kim
🤣😂😂
Mom told me about my oldest niece one day coming in from playing in the backyard (as told to her by my sister). She was 3 at the time. She got a Dixie cup, went to the fridge, and put an ice cube in it. Then, got a beer from the fridge and poured it into the cup! 😂 Her mother stopped her, and said "No way". My niece responded "Well Daddy and Papa do it after they work in the yard!" (My dad and her husband did several yard projects at their new house). Well, according to my mom, that ended the post-yard work beers at that house! 😆
LOL I love it, "I need to gamble!" That is the best melt down! Number one rule for autism melt downs, be calm but assertive redirection. If you get upset, they get more upset. A couple of years ago my daughter had a melt down in an office building. She laid down on the floor and yelled and such. I bent down and talked to her. Unfortunately a typical security guard comes over and wants to play twenty questions, thinking they are going to solve a problem. I told them the situation and told them to go away or this will not stop. It seems most people do not understand nor how to interact with autistic children. So don't worry about those stares, just make sure they stay away and mind their own business, otherwise they add to the problem. Remember, as they get older, they get stronger and being able to carry them is not an option.
That's a good point. She's strong and we could not imagine trying to control her at 10. YOu're bringing to mind the importance of self care. Because if we don't take care of ourselves, we can't take care of her. Like the oxygen masks in an airplane. Thank you!
Great advice!
Been there. I had mine throw tantrums in parking lots and in the car. I had teachers come up to me and tell me how to handle it. I don't care how many kids they have taught, each child is different particularly with mental health issues.
I actually turn into a “Karen” when I hear someone say some ignorant BS like “if that was my kid I’d give them something to cry about” or “parents these days...” or “what a brat, they need to...” the filter between my brain and my mouth burns down so fast. No one knows the child, the parent, what they e been thru etc. I never really pay attention myself when I hear a kid having a melt down, but it’s like my BS radar picks up the criticisms 🤷🏻♀️ now I don’t make a scene, but I will say something like “aww remember those days? EVERYONE staring at you openly judging and they don’t even know what or why it’s happening? I always felt it was pretty rude” as I continue to walk away.
@Micki Moritz Well said.
This story just made me smile ! I think anyone who has had kids has been right there with you. LOL This is one for the books :)
Sage is so precious! Hearing her say so dramatically “I want to gamble!” cracked me up! Merry Christmas to you three and I look forward to seeing you next year!
We love you! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Randi🎊🎈🎆
That's the way my wife feels when she drags me out of a casino kicking and screaming!!
🤣
Loosers
There is no such thing as a "family friendly" casino.
L🤣😂🤣
@@RVOddCouple For the life of me I don't see or understand what you think is funny about any of this!!! And when she gets grown she'll probably have the same kind of fits & trantrums when she doesn't get what she wants because she sees you guys laughing it off & making excuses. SMH!
@@itsallaboutjesus8935 TROLL!!!!! stop commenting when you don't know the whole story! She's autistic they did handle it properly by diverting her!
There are many family friendly casinos! You just have to know which ones are.
Grand casino hinkley mn. Daycare and arcades for kids.
So funny story. My parents used to do junkets - trips to gaming places. I was a big kid , so I was able to stay in the casino and watch. I was about 11 and 5’7” and this was before the camera age.
Well I was watching my parents and the guy said you want to pull slot machine. I said yeah! I pulled it and he hit.... then he wouldn’t let me leave. He told my parents I was his lucky charm. My parents told him I really needed to go to bed. It was a riot. My mom talked about that for years.
Thanks for making me remember that childhood fun time
Have a happy happy and a merry merry
I remember those days and feel for you. My 3 yr old son had a meltdown in the middle of the mall in Cesars Palace. He was on the floor kicking and screaming and the only thing I could do was stand over him to protect him from being trampled while he wore himself out. I knew if I gave in it would be twice as bad next time. Some people looked at me with empathy and others with disapproval while he threw his tantrum. It seemed like it went on forever, but it was probably less than ten minutes. Parenting is tough! Happy Holidays. ;-)
Lol 😂 Thank you for sharing 🤣😂👍 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Traci🎊🎈🎆
If the kid is "normal" (not autistic or other issues) several smacks of the open palm on the diapered bottom at the start of a tantrum at home can put an end to this problem, *not* done in anger. I never threw a tantrum as a child because my parents would have worn me out, but I also now have cPTSD. For my own kids, I did as I state above; they never had tantrums with me. With their dad, we might get asked to leave the store because the kids would not behave around him. When it was just me, they behaved beautifully at home, at the store, at a restaurants, at friends' homes, anywhere. I also trained them they could ask once for something. At the grocery store: "Can we have some candy?" My response: "We'll see." It depended if there was enough money. If they asked twice, they didn't get it; if they asked only once and I had the money, I'd get them the candy. Their dad they could wear down with their whining and begging. I've seen kids throw full-fledged tantrums at the store because they wanted candy -- I've been horrified by their behavior. But I don't know if there were other issues involved.
@@dsvance1 I would have whooped good! I don't think I threw fits in stores.
Oh yes...this clip is a keeper for the future for sure! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎆
Gotta love kids! It was actually kind of cute and funny, bless her heart. She will laugh later in life over this. Merry Christmas guys! See you next year!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Becky
I need to gamble too! LOL. Sage’s plea was the funniest comment I’ve heard all week.
Hey, just found your channel and I love it. Mom of five grown kids here. I feel your pain. I've experienced tantrums in many public places. My youngest once cried on a plane from LA all the way to Atlanta until this magical lady came and massaged her ears and she went to sleep (at least for a little) My younger son once announced "I have to poop!" at about 4 years old in a crowded Olive Garden! Yes you will look back and laugh! ;-)
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 The best!!! Welcome to the RV Odd Squad! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈
Merry Christmas! We appreciate you. We are actually moving out today for our big adventure! Praying for you and yours....prayers appreciated for us....newbies!
Congratulations! How exciting. We are praying for your happiness, safety and journey. :-)
Have a marvelous adventure!
Whew! I thought initially that was John screaming, “I have to gamble!” And Mercedes wouldn’t give him any money! Much love to you all from the Columbia Insulter!
Merry Christmas Columbia Insulter! We love ya no matter!!!
Lolol😁
Melts are sooooo exhausting and if you're already tired, they can feel like torture. Glad to see/hear both of you can see the bright side of this and giggle at the thought of Sage witnessing it when she's older. Please know, while we've been there for you through this year, you've been there for us, being open and vulnerable, entertaining, and letting us vicariously see the sights and live the experiences you've been able to see and do. Much love from Wisconsin and a fellow "autie" parent! :) Give Sage a huuuug (if she likes that!) from some crazy lady and I'm throwing hugs your way, too!
You get it! And yes, had we been well rested, we would have been better equipped to handle the melt down. It's almost like the oxygen on a plane... got to put your own mask on first. Much love and hugs to you too! Merry Christmas!
💗💞💝👍 New subscriber setting more hugs. Thank you for see the lighter side of things. May the God of heaven continue to guide you and bless your three. 🙏🥂🍾 I don't often talk so if I really like a video I post hearts to relay my thoughts and feelings. Hope you don't mind that.
As parents of adult children...'been there, done that'. Not funny when it happens but a riot to relive it years later. You all have a wonderful and joyous Christmas. We'll be watching for you in the new year!
Great story!! You have to play this for her wedding, and the payback will be when she becomes a mom b/c we all go through this to some degree. I love your adventure stories, travel on and be safe.
That's the plan! We'll play it during the toast! hehehe. We're paying our karmic debt and she'll have hers with her kiddos one day. :-)
This brought back so many memories of loosing my mind with my own kids when they were little. Enjoy it. They grow up in a blink of an eye. Thanks for sharing and hang in there. Happy holidays!!🎄
Merry Christmas 🎄
I made this comment just once to another FT RV couple but i want to say it here because i watch your vids so much. My husband and i talked about RVing once he retired. We both have had a lot of medical issues so we thought let’s just get the retirement thing going on and do it! My husband retired Aug 27 2020 after working 35 years in Respiratory Therapy and recently with COVID 19 patients. We were close to being well on our way!
Only 60 days later in October during a CT Scan for a non-related issue, the Radiologist unexpectedly found cancer.
We have decided we will not be traveling but sticking close to family and local treatment. I am writing this because i want to say that if RVing is a dream you need to do for yourselves and your family is well prepared to make this major life decision, DO IT! We don’t know from day to day what life will bring or if you will have another opportunity to do it.
This story made me laugh. Our daughter as a 3 year old would lay down and throw a fit if she did not get her way,.....so this brought back those (fun) memories. As an awful parent, in a small community, I walked away from her and the fit. I was within a few feet but hiding from her.....needless to say a couple of people stopped and started towards her because they did not see a parent with her....I made myself available for them to see, but my daughter was still wailing.....They smiled and walked away. Our daughter after she figured out Mommy was not going to concede to her demands.... jumped up and ran in the direction of the exit. Yep it was scary for me as a mom to allow that to happen but it was a learning moment for our daughter and me. BTW she never threw a fit like that again....well at home but not in public. Yes, we all have to parent each child differently. Yes, we have to experiment with what works best for each family and situation. No she was not traumatized by the (event) she actually does not remember the actual event but she does remember she never wanted to have momma walk away from her. The hiding in the clothes' racks stopped also .....Yep, this was in the 80's so life was looked at differently. Now well the Grands....chuckles!
Glad it brought a smile to you! That's a great tip! But you're right, you got to wonder how that would be handled today. I couldn't let her touch the slot machine, but maybe in a different type of public setting, that could work. Appreciate the understanding and lack of judgement.
I have a special Daughter who is 30 now, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been put in handcuffs for child abuse , as she is about 4-6 years mentally. Every time a concern citizen decided to call police. She still throws the same tantrums like a two year old in an adult body. As usual I get cuffed and she would attack the officers who would then promptly remove the cuffs and helped me gain control. Never a dull moment!!!
Thomas for father of the year, may God bless you both. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness. You bring up the lack of understanding. Which is fueled by the lack of information. It's like families with special children are relegated to their homes. So when things happen in public, people don't know how to be supportive. But I can't imagine the terror you felt getting handcuffed in front of your child. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm delighted to see the love that the RV odd Squad is showing you! Thank you Thomas! And Merry Christmas!
@@RVOddCouple p
I was laughing too hard to text this out cotrectly
Wow! Handcuffed! I’ve been followed by security but not approached and THAT was horrible!
Glad to see we are not the only parents who have had their children melt down at the worst possible time. We were on the airplane going home from vacation and the kids did not want to leave the beach, and yes, similar outcome. Most people laughed at the time, and now the kids laugh at it too.........great channel, kept it going.
Oh, those poor passengers! This is one of the many reasons I refuse to travel by air.
2020 has been the longest 20 years of my life! Love you guys!
God Bless You kids and yes, you MUST save this clip for Sage to be shown at HER wedding, birthdays, and all celebrations! Carry on!
💚💚💚
God bless your family! With 5 of our own, we've been there! That's a crack up memory now! Sage is a sweetheart 💕
Sweet memories 💚God Bless you in 2021
Hilarious!!! As parents we get it!! Those are the moments you look back on and truly laugh. 💕
😂🤣😂
Kids!! They shred years off of our lives, but give us such great laughs down the road. Hope you have a blessed and safe New Year!!
Oh my gosh...! John, you brought me to tears. No, I am honored to be an Odd Squad member. I have loved absolutely every video you’ve uploaded, and have tried to respond to each and every one. It’s been my PLEASURE to call you friends. You guys are honest, kind, considerate and truly show YOU...”the good, the bad and the ugly” as you say, John. If I’ve been able to assist you in any way with making your rv experience more fun or easier, I am happy. I love to share knowledge myself. There’s not a whole lot of happy things happening lately, but I sure do look forward to all you have to say. This Christmas will be tough for me and my family...the first since my dad passed last month, but I know all I have to do is look at your videos, and I get in a much better place. You should be proud that you are able to bring fun, happiness and joy to others. BTW, loved the casino “episode”! Sounds exactly like my daughter when she was young! Please have a very merry Christmas and a safe but HAPPY New Year! Love you, Virginia
That's hilarious. Usually I wonder how and why folks live the road life with kids? Then 2020 hit and everyone wanted to isolate and kids stayed home....and boom....the Rv life became a sanctuary for many. I get it now. Good luck in 2021. We aren't living the RV life but we are taking 3 kids to arches national park in a few weeks in a 23ft RV. Can't wait!!!!!
You’ll Love Arches👍 Enjoy
God Bless you John, Mercedes and Sage
Merry Christmas, Safe Travels.
God Bless you as well Debra 💚 Merry Christmas
My grandson used to have terrible meltdowns. He is 8 now and after tons of therapy he doesn’t have them . Bless you and Merry Christmas 🎄
We live around the corner from Laughlin, in AZ, full time. I would have been one of the adults fighting to suppress a giggle so your daughter wouldn't see us. Kids are so innocent, but the general public...not so much. My hubby carries 'pocket spiders' (little plastic spiders, bugs, and dinosaurs) for moments like yours. He approaches families with kids having melt downs, and with parental approval, distracts the littles with these trinkets. I have only seen one kiddo stubbornly refuse, but upon passing by the kid quickly craned his neck to see where we went. I wish we had been there to lend a helping hand we are in our 60's, and my hubby does Santa gigs at Christmas for fun. We only had one daughter but my hubby should have been daddy to more - so he is a kid magnet. I am glad you can look back on your adventure with a smile. Thank you for sharing. Maybe we can meet someday.
What comes “out of the mouth’s of babes”! Too funny 😂 Happy New Year! To happy, healthy traveling!
Happy New Year Chris
Had to give up RVing awhile back, decided 80 years of age it was time. However, watching your shows brings back the things I so much loved about RVing.
Poor Sage, but that will be priceless at her wedding! Stay safe, may 2021 bring you more joy and happiness!
Lol... she will pay one day 🤣😂🤣
Sage is so cute. I’m glad you found the humor in it. John, you will survive 60. We didn’t think we would make it. I had our daughter at 40 and now she is 22. She is in TN ( we are in AZ), last semester in college, on an internship and has been on the Dean’s list for the last couple of years. We didn’t think we would make it either but we are making it. Hopefully she will be employed in 2021. Merry Christmas to you all. Have a very Happy 2021 and we will see you on Jan. 3rd.
Merry Christmas Mary💚🎄
Laughlin was awful - even with a scared 19 year old- they wouldn’t let us wait by restaurant we were meeting my dad at- it’s move or be moved. But California was worse... could not even eat in their restaurants. We had no want to even gamble! Just food!
Any way I forwarded your clip so we could both reminisce! Thank you for a wonderful year of enlightenment on RVing full time- the ups downs and turn around- Merry Christmas 🎄
Agree so far.... Merry Christmas Dana
I 100% get all of this. My little girl is very much like Sage and has got us kindly escorted out of a couple establishments 🤣
I can completely understand. I only wish I’d seen this earlier today since our son turned 39 today and he had a similar meltdown when he wanted some toy and started screaming, “I have to have it!”, at the top of his lungs in the middle of a store. 😱 so this is great that you have video evidence so she can’t deny it. 😁
Thanks for sharing your daughter’s “meltdown” story! I’m sure all parents can relate. Merry Christmas. to you and your family! 🎄🎄🎄❤️
"I need to gamble." So funny.
We're in trouble!
@baszdmeg lmao. Troll. Be nice. Don't act like your kids that age never had a tantrum. 😂🤣
She sounds exactly like my wife, whenever there are slot machines around.😄
Lol...😅🤣😅🤣😅
Oh, kid tantrums can be hilarious. It is formulaic: Parent to kid: “You can’t jump off a cliff.” Kid response: “But I need to jump off a cliff.” It looks like this; parent: “You can’t (fill in the blank)”, kid responds with “But I need to (repeat word parent just said).”
Many years ago we stopped in Vegas on the way to Tahoe at Circus Circus for the night. Had our son who was about the same age (now 17) in a stroller navigating through the games heading to the buffet. He was trying to reach and kick to get to the slots. Standing in line for the buffet we noticed that although he didn't gamble,,he still lost a shoe...never to be seen again!
Fun memories..lol.
😂🤣😂🤣 thank you for sharing
Everyone who has kids has been there and done that. 😀😀😀 Merry Christmas and safe travels.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
This is great! My (now 17 year old) daughter used to do this kind of thing ALL THE TIME😂😂😂. This just brought back so many good, funny memories. Thank you guys! God bless❤️
God Bless you as well
Back in the late 80's I dated a girl who had a 8 year old brother who was Autistic and when we would play videos games on the large screen TV in the living room he would flip out (very excited) and run right up to the TV's screen about 6 inches away and start stimming by following the objects on the screen so this possibly is why Sage's reaction seemed a bit of an overreaction. And if we'd pull him away from something that he was obsessing over he would throw a fit. God Bless you guys and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉👍
Aww Sage, poor thing. Gambling isn't all its cracked up to be..I might as well stand in the front yard and throw 20's at passing cars...
Merry Christmas Odd Squad!
Merry Christmas RV Odd Squad💚 we are so grateful to have you with us and share our memories
Yeah, you could be throwing $20s, and I would catch an old McDonalds bag. I don’t gamble either.
I love watching your family share your lives with us! Its not all rainbows and sunny days!
Amen!
Good luck.
(My daughter is 39. When she was little she went through 7 baby sitters in 6 months....gawd awful kid. Now she’s a delight to be around and has traveled the world living abroad working in France and Germany.)
Merry Christmas to both of , Y'all have a blessed day enjoy the new year see y'all next year on Sunday
God Bless you Sam💚💚💚
Being the parents of an autistic child, that meltdown ....... wasn't all that bad, one tactic we have used is explaining to them why they can't do what ever it is ( gambling, going into a certain business) and doing it in a whisper, they can't hear you if they are yelling and most times they stop to listen, then you draw out the explanation for quite a while in whisper, sometimes this class them down enough to proceed, sometimes they forget what they want to do..... Sage is high functioning, you lucked out there. Have a very Merry Christmas......
Oh we know what bad looks like and how Blessed we are😊 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎉
Don't know if this tactic would have worked with Sage... She had the NEED to gamble. I'm still smiling about that. NEED TO GAMBLE. 😂
Madam President 🤣😂🤣😂
@@featurefilms2001 : That's what tickled my funny bone -- "I NEED to gamble!" 😄
Bless you! You're great parents and it's an honor to be part of this family! 🎄🌟
Love our Family and the support we receive Candy💚 Merry Christmas
I think you guys are one of the most honest ,truthful, fun guys on the RV channels! keep up the good work! Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!
Thank you Paul💚💚💚
Bells, whistles, flashing lights, these are pretty much going to ruin any outing with an autistic child. Poor Sage. Overwhelm is miserable. Resilience comes with age but poor Sage. And people ignorant about autism, the security guards are who I mean, make things worse. Enjoy a quiet, uneventful, Christmas break. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
Ya live ya learn...we’re still learning
Well why take her into that environment?? She's not an infant where they haven't had an opportunity to understand her condition & triggers.
@@itsallaboutjesus8935 not fair. They are new to understanding her hardwiring and as she is often fine in different situations due to her traveling, they clearly did not know or they wouldn’t have. Been watching for ages. They try hard to parent well.
Ok, we don’t have any kids. However, we thought the video of Sage crying and screaming “I’ve got to gamble” was hilarious. We know not so much for you in the moment; but, we laughed. Merry Christmas and don’t forget the real meaning of Christmas. The birth of Jesus.
Anen❤️
Good Bless All of You.
I’m the mother of four, so I truly understand your situation.
My oldest daughter loved to throw “hissy” fits to get her way (this worked very well on her Grandmother).
However, it didn’t work on me. One day, she decided that she would throw an all out tantrum. Apparently, she forgot that Mom was home.
She was full throttle; laying on the kitchen floor carrying on, crying, screaming and stamping her feet.
I quietly walked across the kitchen, put a little cold water in a glass, and tossed it in her face. I didn’t say a word; I set the glass down in the sink and simply left the kitchen.
She was so stunned 😳 she didn’t know what to do. But she sure stopped throwing tantrums after that!
🤣😂🤣😂 you get it 👍😊 God Bless you as well
Out of all the people making video's of the nomad life, you guys are the best. Happy New Year!
Hey, Hey! We were just in Laughlin in November. What an adventure with Sage. How funny that she locked on to your ‘you can’t gamble’ statement and went with it. As you said, you will laugh about it. Later.
One good story deserves another, though this one was no where near as harrowing as yours. When our oldest daughter was about two and a half, we were teaching her how to sit quietly in church. I made the silly (in retrospect) statement, ‘Sit still and be quiet or I will spank you.’ Of course, we were sitting on the side of the sanctuary farthest from the exit. About a third of the way through the sermon, when she failed to sit and be as quiet as I thought she should have been, I picked her up and headed for the exit. ‘Daddy! No! don’t hit me’, rang out louder than I would have imagined it could and I proceeded to complete my walk of shame (my face must have been redder than it ever had been) with our protesting daughter and a church full of folks, including the preacher, laughing merrily! I was furious until we got out of the sanctuary and the farther we walked the harder I was trying to keep from laughing. She didn’t get much of a spanking.
good one. Our young son would not behave in church after several reminders. So I took him outside in the garden area. I was not happy with his behavior and did not realize how enclosed the area really was. I gave him a swat and he screamed louder. It echoed, echoed echoed back into the sanctuary. echoed I tell ya.
OMG.....LOL....Love it!! Thank you for sharing :) God Bless you Douglas😀 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Every congregation has at least one story like that every generation. One I heard was that the child yelled "Pray for me!" as Dad carried him out of the Chapel.
Art Linkletter was right, kids say the darndest things!!
@@virgierutledge3004 Whatever it is, it is always louder at church!
Dear John, Mercedes and Sage,
Enjoy your well deserved time off. Very WELL deserved. Have a very Merry Christmas.m and New Year if you will take that special day off too. Say prayers for a better year in 2011.
I understand the frustration of going to Vegas with a child.
Mine was 17 and we took a birthday trip to Vegas where she was not allowed to walk near the machines. We went to Circus Circus and there was an area for “kids”. We spent the night in Vegas then headed to San Diego for zoo and aquarium time.
We tried to go to the beach but dogs weren’t allowed. We tried to grab a bite to eat but dogs weren’t allowed, even in outdoor seating areas of restaurants. She was a toy poodle in a carrier for gosh sake! When went to the aquarium and zoo we decided to board her for the rest of our trip. We were able to compare Mexican food down town and eventually able to walk on the beach. She said she was the only one of 3 daughters who had never been out of the country with me so we walked to Tijuana, went through he turnstile and back out again. I said, well now you have been out of the country with me. 😂😂
That was when gas prices were starting to go above $1.99 (the first time) and I refused to pay that. We got through Phoenix and decided we had to get gas so, biting my lip, paid the 2.06, or whatever it was! She wanted to drive so I turned the keys over to her and she got her first speeding ticket going through Flagstaff. There was usually a speed trap headed E from 17 onto 40 and I forgot to warn her. Anyhow, that was a memorable trip for us. She is now 37 and we still have laughs over that ticket and mini vacation.
I always have to share my goofy stories to make you laugh, and relive fond memories from the past.
For the second year I will be spending it with my dog. This year I am looking for a food kitchen to help out for the day. We did that when the girls were young. They were surprised when some people came up to me to thank me for caring for them when they or a loved one were in the hospital having a baby. That’s what I did and loved for 30+ years.
Stay safe for the season. I hope you have some very special time. Whether it is a flight home to be with family and friends, or spending time with your traveling family of friends.
Susan and Camo
💚💚💚 thank you for sharing🤣😂🤣 We love those who give 👍 Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas 😊
Merry Christmas to you. Your daughter is precious. My little went running out of the house, yelling i want my freedom. The things they say and do
Merry Christmas to both of you! When I was 30 years old, I went on a one-week trip from Colorado to yellowstone. I extended it week by week until I was on the road for 3 months. I lived out of the back of my car using a timberline pup tent. Things were different back then, and you could camp just about anywhere, including at the lawn of a city hall in a small City, and the police protected you there. You just had to be gone by 8:00 a.m.
Now I am 60 years old, and will be trading in my Ford F-150 with camper shell for a Ford Transit that I can use to stealth camp all around the country. Best thing about a Transit is that if anyone is bothering you, you don't have to get out of the vehicle in order to start it up and drive away. It will be loaded with security features. As a 40-year veteran engineer, I should be able to design the inside and the security system myself.
You two have been inspirational this year as I am in the process of selling and giving away 60 years of collecting junk and am preparing to relive my traveling days and even more!
Have a great Christmas, and God bless you. Love you both!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours. God Bless you. Hugs from Oklahoma
God Bless you 💚💚💚
Merry Christmas guys, Mercedes beautiful smile always makes my day.Here's to a better 2021.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎉
I know it wasn't funny and probably heart wrenching having her go through something she didn't understand at the time, but you will be able to look back in the future and all laugh about it.
I think we all have some sort of horrifying story our children put us through, that if people don't know you, they tend to judge unfairly.
Keep being yourselves, we've got your back!
Happy New Year's, May 2021 Be better and Bring y'all many Blessings!
Thank you Donna! At the time we were horrified. But now we can't help but crack up. It was pretty funny! But we'll play this video at her wedding and make her pay. :-)
@@RVOddCouple
And if she ever decides to go back to Las Vegas! 😆
Great one for her 21st birthday party lol 😆
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and fantastic year ahead. 🥰👊👍❤🥂
🤣😂🤣😂Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆
Sage is perfect for Vegas, start them young you have a customer for life!!
We need to stay out of Nevada! lol! 😂
@@RVOddCouple Yes, if you don't gamble or know how to pronounce Nevada, probably best...LOL
Reminds me of what I did when I was s kid & my parents took me to Circus Circus.
I was a VERY quick and agile kid. Before my parents could do ANYTHING, I ran up, grabbed the handle of the slot machine and tried to pull it. It didn't budge, so I jumped up, put my feet on the machine and pulled with all my might.
Security QUICKLY came running and escorted us out of the building. 😄😄😁😁😂😂😂
That was roughly 40 years ago.
Omg!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 thanks for sharing
Merry Christmas to you guys! Odd numbered years tend to be better for me...maybe it will be so for all of us. See ya next year!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year LC 💚
Merry Christmas! It was nice to have something we could laugh about in the midst of "the storm". We're all getting tired of the gloom & doom so it was nice to have a chuckle for a change! And most of us who have children can truly relate! LOL
Welll...for most people their kids throw a fit for a candy bar...leave it to you guys to have a meltdown in a casino! Lol...love you guys. However, I would like to mention that electronic devices, games etc...are a very very powerful draw for people with autism. So be careful in the future. Once she has one (cell phone or game) she will have this kind of meltdown everytime you take it away unless you establish very strong parameters. But the very good news is that your lifestyle is so good for her and so engaging that you did not think to expect a meltdown! Great job!
Brenda Barnor Very well said.!!
Spot on! Great advice that we are very aware of Brenda💚💚💚 it’s a process for sure and we love hearing from those who have experience. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎉
Late 60's. Don't even recognize it now on tv
Oh my goodness, I remember my children screaming and kicking in restraunts. I couldn't imagine in a casino with security rolling up on me. I believe they were more concerned with the video camera in there, I am surprised they didn't confecstate it. Many blessings on your travels and adventure and have a blessed Christmas 🎄. Sage will look back on this video and laugh at herself and probably never gamble lol... Much love to you all 😘💘
💚💚💚 Merry Christmas and God Bless you as well
The little gambler melt-down is hysterical!!! Be safe and well in LV. My friends/neighbors went out there about 3 weeks ago with their kids and a couple of grandkiddos. They are now all down with COVID!!
Merry Christmas. Poor Sage. The flashing lights and the sounds. It is like taking a child to an amusement park and telling them they are too little to ride. I hear the seriousness in her voice she really did need to gamble. God Bless you all and be safe.
Merry Christmas and what a fantastic attitude ...knowing that one day the horrible moment filled with so much upset will bring you so much laughter and tears of joy (and it will). My daughter was labelled PDD on the autistic spectrum and she used to have some serious tantrums that would make me want to hide...now she's a highly intelligent grown woman that is independent, strong willed and very kind. So Keep Praying, Keep Loving and Keep Smiling and always remember God will give his biggest battles to his strongest angels, including human angels. So when the mountain seems too much at any moment...smile, surrender to peace and ask the mountain to move please and thank you. lol. hahah no wonder my daughter is so polite, well mannered and kind. We had lots of practice. Merry Christmas and Many Blessings to you and your family.
Merry Christmas and many Blessings 💚
Merry Christmas and remember the reason for this special season !
Amen 🙏
My favorite RV couple! Periodt. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Take care and keep loving each other.
Thank you💚💚💚Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆
Yes, 2020 has kicked our butts. We need to support each other and hope 2021 is better.
God Bless your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
God Bless you as well Evelyn💚
I Love the "I've got to Gamble, priceless. " Next time bring her to a Poker Table...LOL. Do NOT ever let her go to a Casino when she's older, she's already got that Gambling Addiction, maybe she would have cleaned house
What a moment Jason!
We Love you too. Enjoy the vacation and let's all hope that 2021 is a lot better. Happy Holidays!!
💚💚💚
Thank you for posting this...I had a child that could do a melt down at the drop of a hat...the struggle is real...you're amazing parents..and praise God you can look back on it and laugh...Sage too will laugh, later. Have a very Merry Christmas, and may you have a very happy New Year! May we all have a happy New Year...good-bye 2020!!
Thank you for the encouragement. Most parents are encouraging us. one percent has to judge... but the solidarity and understanding means a lot to us. Merry Christmas & Happy New year!
Okay now, y’all had us cracking up with what your little baby doll was saying! Believe me I doubt if anyone was judging you, especially anyone who has had children. My kids used to embarrass me so much by some of the wacky things they would say. But there were many times when they made me quite proud too. Don’t forget to film and cherish though moments too.😊
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Maria
Oh my gosh, trust me other parents can relate!! You will look back on this and have a great laugh. But yes, at the time NOT FUNNY, MORTIFYING! You guys are the best!! Enjoy your time off, you deserve it. Have a very Merry Christmas, hugs to you all, wishing you many Blessings in 2021!!
💚💚💚Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎉
Reminds me of getting my wife out of the casinos. Merry Christmas

ROFL...
My wife and I are in Reno-Sparks...my goodness...the two of you had me rolling on the floor...Greatest story and best delivery like Great Entertainers of Vegas!
Thank you for giving back to others. Take care.

Merry Christmas 🎄
Love, Cher
PS Sage is a little pistol love that kid❤️
💚💚💚Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Cher💚
Having raised 3 children I feel your pain, but this was really funny. Be well. Stay safe.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎉
Oh my goodness. This was so funny. Thank you for the entertainment. I promise you will look back on this with laughter.
🤣🤣😂 Already laughing 👍😊 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈
Yes, casinos are very sensitive about minors being on the premises because their gambling licenses and alcohol licenses could be in jeopardy if the authorities state commissions are alerted. Everything is on video, so they get nervous. I don't gamble either, but they stare you down just for looking in if you don't look old enough. That was a long time ago in Atlantic City, NJ.
Just be glad you didn't win big because, you know, THEY don't like to lose money.
Now besides the birds and the bees, you'll have to explain gambling to Sage.
😉😉😉
Merry Christmas! Happy and safe traveling in 2021!
Lol😂🤣😂 Great memory and had to share with y’all 💚

Vegas is not family friendly
@@barbhenley5544 They were at Laughlin.
@@-oiiio-3993 no gambling place is family friendly.
This ‘rona bs is ridiculous.
“We have a 4 person limit “
Oh my god, 5 people at the table, we’ll never flatten the curve!!!
Not only is it ridiculous... It was planned out FOR YEARS.
Somewhere along the line, folks just lost their natural power of Critical Thinking.
Truly.... We'll never be the same again.
You two are a hoot!! Love this story, laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. That video is priceless but also feel your pain. This will become a story your great grandkids will tell about Grandma Sage. My family has stories from trips that have survived generations of telling. These are priceless so cherish them.
I'm a former teacher of children from birth to middle school age. 25 years of experience I've seen a lot. But this was HILARIOUS!!!😂😂😂😂
This is so funny we have a similar story! We had to stop to sleep one night and we stopped in a casino in our area to sleep in the parking lot in the RV! We were hungry..... it was the flashing arcade that killed us! Not the casino games.. they were interested but they're a little older than Sage so they understood it was for grown-ups. But.. the arcade was not LOL you poor thing I totally understand and I would have laughed my ass off if I saw you guys with the little one dragging behind yelling I need to gamble! Hysterical!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
🤣😂🤣Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎉
I hope y’all have a very blessed and peaceful Christmas🎄We don’t ever want to forget that it’s all about Jesus 🙏🏼 Y’all are on my intercessory prayer list each & everyday, may God bless each of you daily as you walk with Him🙏🏼👨👩👧🙏🏼
Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you Brunnie 😀 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
This story is so great!!! I would have definitely been one of the people laughing if I saw a little girl proclaiming that she, "Needs to gamble". This needs to make her high school graduation video!
😂🤣😂🤣 great idea
Last day of pre-school 1969, I thought I was already out, and I was geared up to go on a picnic with our neighbors across the street. But I learned that I actually had one more day (that day) to go. 5 year old me didn't take the news very well. I threw a screaming crying fit and ran to my room shouting "I don't wanna go to school!" 30 seconds later, Dad stormed in and whooped me good! He also read me the riot act. But I survived the last day, and had a good time at the picnic later.
