  • We invite you to join us as we relive the longest road trip we’ve ever taken together. In June of 2023 we drove to Maine to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of Brandon’s parents, Ron and Jill Keilen. Fifty years of marriage is a beautiful testament to the love my in-laws share. During our adventures in Maine we made memories with family that we’ll treasure for a lifetime! Also included in this episode is a tid bit/fun fact about each of Brandon’s 9 siblings, who all reunited in this fun-filled event! We hope you enjoy getting to see some of the highlights from our time in Maine as well as getting to know the Keilen family a little bit better!

    Thank you for introducing us to Brandon's family. What a blessing that you were all able to be together to celebrate your parents' 50th wedding anniversary. I knew there were siblings but I didn't realize how many. I do remember Becky and Angie from the engagement episode on Bringing Up Bates. By the way, I want to tell you how deeply touched I was by your love story and then the engagement. It was so unique and well-planned (great job, Brandon!) and I could feel Michaela's emotions when she realized what was happening. It was so sweet. You're both such kind-hearted, loving people and just seem so perfect for each other. I was a huge fan of the show so it's really nice that you have a RUclips channel as well as some of the other Bates siblings. Many blessings to you both! ❤

    Would love Michaela to do a hair tutorial video of how she does her hair. She always has it styled so beautifully and would love to see how she does it. 😊

      You are so very kind. My sis Josie is a sweetheart and she cuts and highlights my hair for me. I use Pureology shampoo and conditioner and I style with a 1 inch curling iron, but I don’t really have any special tricks or tips. I’m so sorry.

    Wow what a coincidence I was visiting Acadia national park, Maine with my in-laws and their family as well. Your family is beautiful and what a blessing to see the friendship that develops when the children becomes adult. I wish you can do a Q/A with your parents to see how they proactively accomplish that. Thanks for sharing!!

    Your parents have been married for 50 years!💍Wow! They had a smaller quiver compared to the Bates. I have never been to Maine but would love to. That 🫎 looked rather timid. We lived in Alaska for seven years and had a chance 2c moose outside our yard often. Each sibling's description was special. Each one has been given a special gift 😍 that they have used well. Truly a blessed family🤍

    Take a trip to Bermuda. There is so much sea glass. But.... it is illegal to take any. There was one beach that had more sea glass than sand or rocks. Glass bottles are actually taken to the beach and broken just to keep adding to it. This place was stunning. So many different colors. I went on a cruise but you can fly there too. 😊

    Greetings from the middle of Nebraska!! Thank you for sharing your amazing trip to Maine!! I am so impressed by your family!! Brandon and Michaela how blessed you both are with wonderful parents and siblings. I would love to hear each of your parents perspective on raising a family as they both were so successful in raising children. In this day and age, a wholesome, Christian family is dwindling and I think each of your parents should write a book on how to grow a family. I hope Michaela can have a similar video where she describes each of her siblings as this was fun to hear about their personalities. Brandon how blessed you are with each of your siblings. I've never been to Maine but it sure looks like a wonderful place to visit. I pray for you both everyday!!! God bless!! (hint hint Brandon, take some of that sea glass and have a piece of jewelry made for Michaela) (you didn't read that Michaela!!)

    Thanks for sharing with us about your family and also your trip to Maine. It brought back great memories of a trip my husband and I took to Maine in 2014! I loved Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain, Jordan’s Pond, Bar Harbour, Thunder Hole and the lighthouse! We.also went to Kennebunkport and stayed at the historic Kennebunkport Inn! One of my favorite trips! I would love to go back someday!

Thank you for the quick intro to your videos and soft complimentary music by the way- I don’t need to constantly adjust the volume and it’s pleasant. Anyways, thanks for sharing. You two are an awesome couple and I enjoy watching your love, positivity, and enthusiasm for the basics. God bless!

    LOVED this SO much!!! What a beautiful family you have Brandon! Thank you for sharing about each of your siblings too! Your parents are a wonderful and Godly role model for you all. Love all the pictures and places you went. Made me so homesick though because I raised my children first in New Hampshire and then Maine. We love it up there! In fact, my son got engaged in Cape Neddick, which is more known as York Beach. We have so many memories there and it was so sweet for him to make this new memory with his best friend and future wife. When I go up to visit, it's like coming home again as a lot of my friends are still there that we raised our kids together. So glad you were able to experience Maine and Acadia is SO beautiful!

    Hello from NJ! I loved this recap of your trip to Maine. My family visited there last summer - it was probably our best vacation ever and I can't wait to go back. We stayed in Boothbay Harbor and then spent 3 days in Bar Harbor - so much fun! Maine was beautiful, peaceful and the people were so very, very nice! If you make it back there stay at the Inn at Bay Ledge - the owners are terrific, the food is delicious and they have their own rocky beach. Plus - you have to visit the land bridge to Bar Island - that is really a great spot. So glad you had the chance to see your family and celebrate Brandon's parents - God Bless them!

    I was lucky to grow up in Ellsworth.

I'm glad your family was able to enjoy God's amazing handiwork there!
