Shouting Trigger warning from the rooftops. In yesterdays video we mentioned driving through Kansas as fast as we "SAFELY" could because of some really bad memories. Well, we open up about those bad times in Kansas today during a story time about a very tragic and traumatic time. Buckle up for todays video because it's a long one. The trigger warning I need to fill you in on is 1. arrests 2. children screaming 3. guns I understand if you need to skip this one, as it's not our typical light and fun videos, but it's important to tell our story and what we went through. #thedenmanhomestead

Well we are getting ready to hit the road jack... (and dontcha' come back no more no more no more no more) all jokes and bad singing aside, we are about to embark on a trip, just Buddy and I. I will miss the kids, but it's definitly nice to get some time to ourselves. I can't wait to bring you along. But first- we have to do the dirty work before we go. Time to seal the rubber roof to prevent sun/weather damage. Replacing one of these puppies is NOT cheap, so we need to take good care of it while we can. #thedenmanhomestead #rvroof #rvlife
