Huge thanks to HERSHEY'S chocolate
for sponsoring this video.
Today's video is very, very special.
Do you know why, Ollie? - Why?
- Because chocolate.
And we have had the craziest day already.
We've been out running errands.
We've already eaten lunch, we're back home.
So, I think it's time for a little bit of a get together.
What do you say, Ollie?
- Let's have a pool party!
- [Bryan] Yes, we can go in the pool,
and we can invite all our friends and family over.
- Yeah!
- Summer is my all-time favorite time of year
because we can swim in the pool,
we can relax in the sun,
and we love to invite our family over to make s'mores.
Because I don't know about you guys
but s'mores are probably my favorite summer treat.
(lighthearted music)
S'more time!
(lighthearted music)
- S'more time.
- [Bryan] It is s'more time.
Roasting marshmallows.
- This is literally like my favorite thing to do.
All right, who can make the biggest
most burnt marshmallow of all?
- Gotta get it in the fire. - Yeah.
- S'mores are one of the most easiest things to make
'cause we always have the ingredients.
It's just HERSHEY'S chocolate,
graham crackers, and marshmallows.
And it's so convenient when you got a fire pit
and you can just chill around the fire.
All right, it looks like Papa
is making the biggest most burnt marshmallow he can.
For this s'more.
- [Papa] It melted the HERSHEY'S perfectly.
- [Missy] That does look delicious.
- [Bryan] Hear that, Finn?
You gotta burn that marshmallow
so it melts the Hershey's chocolate.
(lighthearted music)
Hey, Ollie. - What?
- [Bryan] I think you got something on your face.
- What?
- [Bryan] A little bit of
HERSHEY'S chocolate on there (laughs).
- I'm about to make myself another s'more.
But I just had to say that making s'mores
is one of my favorite things to do with the family.
It always brings us all together.
And it's one of my favorite memories as a kid.
We used to always just go the beach,
make s'mores, sit around the campfire,
and it was always the greatest time.
- Hey, babe, you're way better at this than me.
Can you make me some too?
- Of course, oh, my gosh.
- I'm just gonna load it up.
- I am about to make the most yummiest
golden, crispy, melted marshmallow you will ever see.
- Now can I jump in the pool, mama?
- [Missy] Yep, go ahead.
(Missy laughs)
- Best day ever.
- [Missy] (chuckles) You have
a little chocolate on your face, you know?
- We always have it in our pantry.
If you guys don't have any in your pantry,
head on out to a store,
and go pick up some s'mores supplies
so you can have a s'mores party with your whole fam.
- [Missy] Get it, Karma, get it.
Oh (laughs).
(lighthearted music)
(Finn screams)
- [Ollie] He got it!
- We are totally enjoying it this summer.
But I do have to bring up one thing
that nobody wants to talk about.
You guys are gonna be really mad at me when I bring it up.
And it is school.
It's something that I have been
like thinking about a lot lately.
I still have not decided where the kids
are going to go to school next year.
It's so bad.
I have been debating a lot of different things.
The kids actually went to private school last year.
I've been looking into charter schools.
I've been looking into like other options, private schools.
The one that we were going to is kind of a long drive.
So, I was kind of thinking,
what if we tried homeschooling next year?
So, I wanna know from you guys,
what kind of school do you go to?
Leave it down in the comments
if you are homeschooled, if you go to public school,
what your kids do, and why you like it,
or why you don't like it.
I'm still trying to decide if we should homeschool or not.
I think homeschooling could give us a lot of freedom.
We love to travel with the kids,
and I think that can be really
educational for kids as well.
But I don't know, what do you guys think?
Let me know down in the comments.
Should we do this?
Let me see what the boys think.
- I want to do a real school.
- [Missy] You wanna go to a real school?
Okay, well, there's Finn's vote.
Hey, Ollie.
Ollie, I have a really important question for you.
Okay? - What?
- [Missy] Next year for school,
do you wanna go to a real school
or do you wanna homeschool? - Homeschool.
- [Missy] Really?
- [Ollie] Yeah.
- Okay, well, there's what the boys want.
I don't know.
I have a lot of reservations on all of the options.
So, I would love to know what you guys think.
Let me know down in the comments.
All right, we are done in the pool.
Now we gotta go get dressed.
(both yelling)
You are one crazy boy, aren't you?
(Finn babbles)
(Missy babbles)
- Poopy diaper. (Missy laughs)
- [Missy] Draco, how you doing on this fine summer day?
Look at how full he looks.
And how he's standing up right now.
It's pretty funny.
Isn't he so cute? - Yeah.
- (laughs) By the way,
yes, we still call him a him.
But if you don't know, he is actually a girl.
And I have the video linked up above
of Ollie finding out.
He did like a whole gender reveal party.
It was hilarious.
Now that we just enjoyed all of the fun summer time,
we are totally gonna put on a movie
and have some snacks and relax.
(gentle music)
All right, I've got the kids settled in
for a little bit of rest time.
And now, we're gonna go hang out on the couch with a movie.
It's like a perfect summer day.
This is like my favorite thing to do.
♪ Dinner time ♪
How was your guys' movie? - Good.
- [Missy] You had a good time?
- It's a beautiful day.
- [Missy] Yes.
- So we are outside.
- Yep, we're having a nice summer evening here.
Bryan, I was actually just talking on the vlog
about how I'm still trying
to figure out the boys' schooling.
What do you think?
- Oh, what should we do?
- Yeah, do you think we should do homeschool,
put them back into real school?
- I don't know, I don't know.
I was in public school my whole life
growing up in Idaho, so.
- I was private school and then homeschooled.
So, we have like all of it here.
- Yeah.
- It's a really hard decision.
I will say, education is really important to us.
So, we really want our kids to have like a good education.
- I would prefer our kids stay in a private school.
But I would love something like
a lot more convenient or hands on or closer.
Even if part of our own house would be cool.
- Yeah, I think that my kids, not just my kids,
but every kid has a different learning style.
And it's really important to find that style
and make sure that you're like nurturing it,
and not just like saying learn this out of this book
and if you don't get it, then whatever, I guess you fail.
I just wanna like make sure my kids
get the proper education that's perfect for them.
- I just wanna make sure that they're like
have opportunities to pursue like their own dreams.
- Yeah.
I mean, you're like an artist.
He didn't really get to pursue
all of that until after school.
So, we just have a lot to think about.
But now, it is dinnertime.
And it's a beautiful, beautiful night.
And I'm excited to enjoy it with the family.
Uh, Bryan? - What?
- [Missy] What's on your nose?
- Nothing.
- [Missy] (laughs) There's something on your nose.
- No, there's nothing on my nose.
- [Missy] I mean, I'm pretty close now
and there's definitely something on your nose.
- No, there's definitely nothing on my nose.
- [Missy] (laughs) Bryan.
- I'm just cleaning my nose, okay?
- [Missy] I walked in and I was like, are you okay?
- I don't wanna be one of those guys with an ugly nose.
(Missy laughs)
With like a bunch of blackheads all over his nose.
- [Missy] I know, you take care of yourself.
I appreciate it (laughs).
- [Ollie] That's for you.
- [Finn] No.
- It has been such a long, fun day.
But it is definitely time for bed.
So, I'm letting the boys do a little bit
of playtime before it's bedtime.
But I just wanted to give one more huge thank you
to HERSHEY'S for sponsoring today's video.
We're gonna go ahead and end this vlog.
We had a great time making s'mores with the family,
and just having a great, fun day all together.
So, give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it.
And we'll see you guys in our next video.
Bye, boop.
