    I love this video and seeing you so happy. Im commenting at 2:05 in the video I'm a retied flooring contrator I live in northern California I would so repair the carpet on the bottom landing for free if you wanted. When ever I installed berber carpet I always told customers to never pull a Strand of fiber use something to push it back in the backing with a drop of glue or to cut it never pull. Now to finnish watching. Thanks for all you do for us.

After I made some for my Is Pontiac Vine though I built a teardrop and havent stayed in my car I have them less then $100.00 dollars role of reflex at home depot 48 x 25 51.00 did all the window and I went to walmat to get some black out material I forget but less the 20.00 cardbord I had and glue gun it can be fun project just take your time and have fun.

    That was a great adventure. It did remind me of the van and it shows that Oliver is your van dog. He is such a good boy. He always responds to your commands. Ronan has to think about it and weigh his options! I remember the PTC adventure. I think you are suited for the rigors of a long distance hike. I’m glad you took the boys out for an overnight.

    Very cool! Totally doable in a subi. The window coverings are a must and with a bit of planning of the space it can be a real thing. The two kids will get used to it, especially when you're able to get at a location earlier. The upcoming warm weather and a tent will expand the possibility - inside subi space + tent space (full camp experience). Good stuff!
