Show transcript

Paul: Good morning.

It is 4:20 in the morning and we're goin' to Mammoth.

Got kind of, like, our pre-breakfast. And then we'll probably stop, like, in about a couple of hours to, like, actually eat some breakfast that we packed. So come on.

Hi kids.

Still sleeping?

Let's get up, let's eat, let's go for a drive.

Kelly: Yo, good morning.

Been up for like 30 minutes.

Trash bags just in case. And we are on our way to Mammoth Lakes.

Paul: Yo, waddup.

We're the Kahlers.

I'm Paul.

Kelly: I'm Kelly.

Paul: This is Pencey.

Kelly: Here's Rowley.

Paul: And here's, what's your name?

Kelly: Dree Dree.

Like that. Ope ope ope.

You're silly.

Your shoes are slippery.

Paul: Oh man, we are halfway into our drive.

We've got like two and a half more hours.

But Pencey has a blowout, so we have to change that, feed 'em, and probably wake up Rowley to feed, and then we'll get back on the road.

So we're gonna go to this hot spring that's down the way.

It's like a – what, five-minute walk, 10-minute walk?

Kelly: I don't know, I didn't ask.

Paul: Twenty-minute walk?

I don't know, but there's, like, a pathway that, like, goes all the way to the hot springs, so it should be pretty easy with the babies. But it's super pretty, so we're gonna get ready.

Kelly: Our new luggage is coming in handy.

Paul: The kids are awake.

They're hungry and they're in full effect.

Dree Dree.

Can you say hi?

Dree: Hi. Hi.

Paul: Go go go go go go go.

Can you tell me about the food sitch when you go on road trips?

Kelly: I'm tryin to put jackets on.

Paul: I know, perfect.

Kelly: I don't know, I don't even really remember what we packed 'cause it was last night.

So for dinners we're gonna do just black bean tacos and lunch: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Breakfast: cereals and bananas and our green smoothies.

And we just make it super simple on us.

We bought some bars and just whatever leftover food we have, bell peppers.

Hmm. Oh, you want a cucumber?

Paul: Mine?

Dree: No.

Paul: Share?

Eh, what's up, doc?

Kelly: All right, here we go.

We're walkin' that direction.

Paul: Here we go.

Kelly: We have Rowley.

We have Dree Dree.

Pencey and Dad.

Look at all the mountains around us.

Paul: Nice.

Kelly: It's very quiet and peaceful and pretty.

Hi, where are we?

We're in the hot springs.

Paul: So much fun.

Kids did good.

Dree absolutely loved it.

Kelly: Dree, did you love it?

Dree: Yep.

Kelly: Are you ready?

So both babies are already asleep.

We're gonna sit in the back of the car and make some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and enjoy the view.

Paul: See that over there?

That's rain, so we gotta pack up and get out of here, 'cause this is like – the road out is all dirt so. I don't think we'd get stuck, but might as well get out.

That sucked.

So Kelly's over here making lunch.

Babies are sleeping, but we gotta get out of here.

Dree: Yeah.

Kelly: Show me whatcha eatin' girl.

Paul: So this girl – oh, by the way, we got settled in. We kinda ate a little bit and we, like, passed out for two hours.

It was so nice.

The kids really needed sleep.

Dree wanted to take a nap.

Kelly: Did you want to take a nap in the bed?

Paul: And now we're up and just eating.

Kelly: Cooking dinner.

Paul: Cooking dinner.

Cut that lettuce?

Kelly: Yup.

So pretty much our dinner is ready.

Super easy, super inexpensive.

This just found.

Very excellent.

Paul: What is it?

Kelly: Cheddar dip – dairy free, organic cheddar dip.

Paul: Did you steal Pencey's ball?

Get it, oh, get it.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed today.

See you tomorrow.

And a goodnight to you.

Here's mom life, always organizing.

Kelly: Organizing, reorganizing, organizing, reorganizing.

Paul: She does a good job doing it, though.

Kelly: Organizing, reorganizing, all right, goodnight.

Figuring out tomorrow's outfits, so it makes it easier since they're not crying, and we can get a head start tomorrow.

Paul: Good morning.

Kelly: Morning.

Paul: That was a fun, successful night.

Right there is where we stayed last night.

Super bachelor pad. But yeah, we're gonna go get some coffee right now.

It's currently 33 degrees out maybe, I don't know.

I'll have to give you an update on that.

Let's go.

Paul: So we just got here at Convict Lake, and we're gonna go take some portraits of each other down there.

The lake is so pretty, so we'll show you some of that b-roll now.

Kelly: It's party time inside M-I-C-K-E-Y.

Paul: But now, yeah, we're just gonna go on a little walk with the kids and just kinda enjoy this.

It's so peaceful here. It's, like, a beautiful day out. And the fall foliage is kind of over here, but there's still some trees with a little yellow left on it, so it's super pretty still, so.

Kelly: Convict Lake is awesome.

There's plenty of parking right to the shore.

The lake is clear, like see-through clear.

Rainbow trout in this lake, and it's just a really easy walk on this side of the lake.

I recommend it.

Pathed. Paved, paved.

Paul: And look how pretty it is.

Kelly: What's goin' on?

What's goin' – are we on a walk?

This is so fun.

Come here, are you eating your blankie? Muah.

Ready? One, two, three.

Paul: What are you doing?

Are you throwing rocks?

Dree: Daddy!

Paul: Ready, set, throw it hard.

Oh, you got it to the water.

Kelly: Nap time.

Paul: Nap time.

So we're gonna go home, nap, eat some lunch, and then head back out.

Kelly: Dree asked to go lay down on the bed and nap.

Paul: So yeah, we will see you in a bit.

And I don't know what else we're gonna do.

I think we might go to another lake that's right by our house, so I'll see you there.

How cute are they that they just sleep together?

Pencey is up, but that's where she sleeps with Dree Dree.

It's so stinkin' cute.

So we just got to George Lake.

It's at, like, the top of all the lakes of Mammoth Lakes.

It's so stinkin' pretty.

All these lakes are so nice right now.

So what do you think about this spot?

Kelly: It's super pretty.

I really like that peak.

I'm sure that peak has a name, but it's really pretty.

Dree: Mommy.

Kelly: Come on. Ready?

Paul: Yo, waddup, we're the Kahlers.
