- Mom, did you see that?
- You're growing up.
- So windy, we're really high.
Okay, gotta put the phone up.
(intro music)
- Welcome to summer.
That's right. It is finally summer.
Today is the last day of school for our kids.
We're going to take you along for the day
and we're going to get back to doing some family vlogs
and videos of our life.
We're actually going to travel starting tomorrow.
We're traveling a bunch,
and the summer is going to be really fun.
Today's video is sponsored by KiwiCo
and we will talk about them later.
But what I'd like to do today is take you to Claire's school
to get her out of school for her last day of school.
We're gonna talk to Lincoln and London,
show you some of the things
that we're working on this summer.
What are you most excited about for summer?
- I love summer because the kids get to sleep in
and I love lots of activities for them.
Claire has lots of dance, like camps.
London has acting camps, football camps, tennis.
What else?
Math. We're doing lots of math this summer
to make sure she's ready for sixth grade
and Lincoln just golfs all the time.
- What trips are you looking forward to the most?
- Well, they don't know about one of the trips.
So can I say that trip?
- They're not watching this.
- Oh, no.
You can't say that.
That's not in the summer.
That's in the fall.
- Okay.
- We're going to quiet that out.
So they don't hear what that is.
- That's the most exciting one.
- That's not-
- I'm excited to go to Alaska then.
Cause we haven't been in five years
and that's where I'm from.
And we used to go every year, we just haven't gotten to.
- Back to Alaska.
- Yes.
- We used to make videos there.
We had some really fun videos
but I think it was in winter on our family channel.
- We'll definitely have some videos up there.
It's just such a beautiful place in the summer.
Seventy two days straight of like summer
and the sun doesn't go down.
- I love it.
Let's go talk to the kids.
First I need to pick up Claire from school.
Then we're going to get London and Lincoln
and see what things they're working on this summer.
This is it.
This is her last time at this school.
It's not a private school.
It's a charter school,
but they do everything like year in advance.
So it'll be interesting next year
when she goes to an actual regular public school.
(celebratory music)
- This is weird.
(laughs)
- Claire.
- Yeah?
- It's your last day of school.
- It is?
- High five.
- Yay.
- Yay, high five. You're done with school.
So Claire has been going to this school for, I don't know
ever since we moved down to the city like three years ago
and it's a great school.
It is kindergarten through seventh grade,
and she is a seventh grader, so.
Do you know what your plans are this summer?
- I'm going to go do like some dance intensives.
- Intensives?
- Yeah.
- What's an intensive?
It's like you do lots of stuff.
We're going to do some triple threat.
- Triple threat.
- It's like acting, dancing and singing and stuff.
- I don't even know what word she's talking about.
Triple threat intensives,
that's going to be a good summer.
She's been home for five minutes from school
and she's already bored on the bed.
Are you already bored seriously?
- No, maybe a little bit.
- How do you feel about school being over?
- I'm kinda happy it's over, but then I have nothing to do,
besides dance intensives.
But that doesn't start for a while, so.
- Well at least you have the dog to keep you company.
Here's some things I think are really cool about Claire.
This blanket right here.
Where did you buy this?
- I made it.
- You made this giant blanket.
This one right here, you were-
is that a blanket?
What is this?
- So-
- Okay, show me this.
- I tried to do it, but did not work very well.
It's supposed to be a jacket.
- Oh my gosh.
- But um.
(laughs)
It's kinda big.
- I love the sleeves.
- But it's like-
- You should wear that sometime.
- It's kinda big though.
- You look like a ballroom dancer
that's doing like a Mariachi Dances.
- Oh yeah.
- Kind of.
- It didn't work out though.
- That is so cool.
I can't believe you made that.
Claire makes lots of really cool things.
In fact, check these guys out.
These are some of my favorite right here.
These are little like whale type things.
She's got a bunch of them.
Check it out, check out this little guy.
The yellow one has like a little tail on it.
They're so cute.
And she just makes them out of these yarn things.
I feel like you should sell those.
- Yeah?
- Yarn things, did I say it wrong?
- I mean, it's just made out a yarn.
- Oh, it is yarn.
What do you call those?
- What do you call what?
- The things you made.
- They're just whales, crochet whales.
- Crochet whales, crochet whales.
If anybody wants to buy your crochet whales,
how can they do it?
- I don't know.
- How much would you sell them for?
- Like $25.
- Okay, I'm going to put some of the crochet whales of hers.
How many have you made?
- I made ten, but then I gave some of them to people, so.
- How many do you have that you would sell?
- Right now? Like at the moment?
- Yes, right now.
- Like five.
- Okay, so I'm going to list five of those
on our Whatsinside website.
And if you want to buy them,
all proceeds go to Claire to buy more yarn.
- Okay.
(laughs)
- I feel like we just did a video with you Lincoln
about like what you do every day.
And so it's kind of weird to do like a summer video,
but it is different.
Summer is different than regular school year.
So what is your summer looking like?
- Now that I'm out of school, I'll be golfing even more.
At the golf course and here at the house, in the simulator.
Which is really fun.
Traveling to go golf.
Excited about-
- Lots of golf.
How many times are you saying golf?
Geez. We're going to golf in New York next week.
You're going to play in golf tournaments.
- Alaska, we're going to go play.
North Carolina, we're gonna go play.
- Oh, that's right.
Lincoln's high school team made it
to the high school national championships
in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
And so he's going to be playing in North Carolina
at Pinehurst, which is a really good golf course
with the 50 or 60 best high school teams in the country.
And he gets to represent his team, which is awesome.
- Yeah, so that'll be something really fun this summer.
Yeah, some online school stuff.
I need to get my driver's permit for my license.
- Yes, Driver's permit.
You're gonna drive.
You're growing up.
Look how long your hair is.
- I cut it yesterday.
- It's so cool.
- I cut it yesterday.
- Oh, it looks great.
You gotta grow a mullet.
I had one when I was 14.
- I had a mullet last year.
- What's happening?
- In today's world it's easier than ever
to just have your kids be at home
and sitting on their devices,
the whole day can go by
and they can just do that all day.
Which I'm grateful you guys watch our videos.
- Yes, for sure.
- But I also want you to be doing some productive things
throughout the day.
- Yes and learn, learn every day.
- Which is why I'm excited
about today's sponsor of the video, which is KiwiCo.
Now we've worked with KiwiCo before.
- Everything comes every month.
You don't have to go to the store to buy anything.
It's teaching like problem solving and critical thinking.
And I love it.
It makes me feel like I'm being a good mom,
basically over the summer.
- That's true.
- Honestly.
- Inside of this box, what you get is an entire project.
It's cool because there's eight different subscription lines
and each one caters to a different age group and topic.
Each monthly crate is designed by experts and tested by kids
and teaches a new theme through hands-on learning and fun.
- And I love that the instructions are super easy
to understand too.
Like I could just give this to my child if they wanted to,
and they can go through it themselves and do it themselves
and come and show me and be like, look what I did.
- Each one of these projects
is designed to expose kids to STEAM.
So science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
I did it, is that all of them.
- You did it.
- I'm so smart.
- I think you did all of them.
- Look at that.
Leslie has some pretty big dreams for our kids.
She thinks they're going to do some pretty big things.
- They are gonna do amazing things.
- Maybe like the President of the United States.
- I don't know if they need to be that.
- Their whole message is small today, big tomorrow.
And what does that even mean?
- So it's like you have to take small little steps
of problem solving, being creative and feeling confident
in what you can build and develop.
And who knows what that will lead you to.
The kids have so much fun and they feel proud
of what they accomplished.

And now we need to go see what London
is doing during summer break.
One thing that I want to do a lot more of this summer,
is travel, but not just travel like for work,
and have me go places, but I want to travel with the kids.
So on that note, London, where are we going right now?
- To New Mexico.
- We are going to the place that London was born.
School literally ended yesterday
and London and I are going on a daddy daughter trip
to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
(upbeat music)
- We made it to Albuquerque.
It's really windy here, look at these flags.
They're just whipping.
We're going to go to one of my favorite places to eat food.
(upbeat music)
This would be a Rio Grande mud pie.
Do you want to try that out?
Before we have our dinner.
That was a slowest taste of a bite I've ever seen.
London was born here in New Mexico,
And I used to bring her to this exact same Flying Star Cafe
because it's less than a half a mile from our old house.
And we would just come here and we would eat,
and hang out as a family all the time.
She doesn't remember any of it because she was too young.
But I remember it.
And I'm gonna go take her around
and show her a little bit more of this place.
It's really fun to take a nostalgic trip
just with London.
Memory lane for us, this is a park that I used to come to
with all of the kids.
Like seriously, the play set is exactly the same
as it was 11 years ago.
- Oh yeah, good one.
Whoa.
- I didn't think that was gonna happen.
- Oh, sweet.
- Mom, did you see that?
- Did you have fun Lincoln?
- Yeah, did you see those jumps?
- Those were cool jumps.
I just love this place, it's a special place.
I wouldn't be surprised if someday when our kids
are grown up and out of the house,
that Leslie and I move back to this little town,
Corrales, New Mexico.
It's just super special, and the food is amazing.
I've never been to this place
I think it's called Cliffs.
And we saw a roller coaster and we saw people on it
and we're like rollercoaster time.
(upbeat music)
Okay, we got some New Mexicans here.
What are your thoughts on this roller coaster?
- Fun, very fun.
- Very fun, what can we expect from it?
- It's shaky, there's a big drop and turns.
- Out of 10, how good of a roller coaster is it?
- I'd say a 10.
- 10 out of 10, yes.
We're going, we're going up.
Oh my gosh.
It's going- it's super windy up here.
It's so windy, we're really high.
Okay. I gotta put the phone up.
Okay, out of 10, how was it?
That was definitely a 10.
The girls were right.
That was way more fun than I thought.
If you ever come to New Mexico,
I definitely recommend the Rattler.
Oh my gosh.
- My seatbelt fell off.
- Oh yeah it did, but you're okay.
- That was fun.
- That was crazy. That was so fun.
- That's totally Gatorade.
- Why is it blue water?
- It's Gatorade.
- It's like what you see in toilets.
It's toilet water.
Rollercoaster was way more fun than I thought,
we have had a blast.
These are just some of the things
that we're going to be doing this summer.
Thank you for watching and stay tuned for the next video.
- You're such a little kid.
- I am a little kid.
How is it?
- So good.
- Did you eat too much?
Maybe we shouldn't have started with dessert.
- They can change the world.
