Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast. I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend to deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.

Hey friends, welcome back to my podcast. Very excited to chat with you today because this is a topic that we get a lot of requests to talk about. And sometimes

I have to really give it some thought as to what to say on this topic because adventuring with

kids, traveling with kids has actually become very second nature to us. And so sometimes people are

like, what are your tips for taking kids to the beach? And I'm like, I don't know,

but, but five years ago, we were very new. Three years ago, we were very new to really this scale of traveling with kids and adventuring. And so I finally sat down today because I've had a lot,

we're on a trip right now. So I've had a lot of questions on how we do things like beach with kids and

stuff like that. And so I sat down and thought, okay, I'm going to really put together some of my

favorite tips for adventuring with kids. Some of this will kind of be talking about travel,

but really going on adventures with kids, whether something big like a cross-country trip or

smaller things like exploring your local town

is what we're going to be chatting about today.

So in a little while, you're here from our sponsors for today's episode.

We have Air Doctor and Magic Mind.

But right now, I'm going to jump straight into this because if you guys listened to last week's episode,

you know we were about

to head down to Florida with Jason's family, all of his family except a couple of his brothers

were able to come down to Florida with us. Jason's the oldest of seven kids. So it's quite a big

extended family at this point. We're on grandkid number 15 at the moment, which about half of those are my children.

But we are all here.

All of the cousins are with us here in Florida.

So we are just having a blast.
