    So cool that you let your children make decisions at Costco with you. I never got that luxury or respect as a kid. I'm sure this attitude you have with them will serve them well in life. What an awesome family!

    You have awesome kids, especially when you are traveling all hours of the day and night. Granite and Cedar are so focused on all the things that they do on your excursions, and have been so introduced to so much culture, which is as good as school books. I love your family videos, and I will be tagging along with you as you explore Alaska.

    From 10:54 it was so good to hear you complimenting Granite on becoming a responsible teenager...flash back to when I was his age i was inherently lazy and my parents never pushed me on household chores. At the very least, I recall helping with washing dishes and hanging out the clothes on the outdoor washing line in the backyard. When I was of age to receive a drivers license, I drove my mum, at the time when she was still with us, to the grocery store as she didn't have a car license. I look forward to if/when your kids choose to be content creators too. 🎉

    I’ve been watching your older videos after finding your channel and in the new ones the kids are so grown up! I was just wondering were Granite and Cedar always so willing to try new foods or were they more selective when younger like Forest? I love that they are so open to foods and was wondering if there is a parenting secret to that.

    I do enjoy the skills that are being passed down to the kiddos. Something that is becoming a lost art. However, being frugal on things I think isn't. I know in the lower 48; I'm seeing more and more parents teaching these skills. My daughter has been searching for deals and such since 6/7 when her reading and math skills were solidly established.
    I enjoy your videos though

      Do your research, (sell by) (use by) (expires) have different meanings and does not mean food will be bad after that date. How you store food can shorten or lengthen food quality. Milk that is old and sours, can still be used in baking ..so less waste.
