Lost Grandparents, A Donut Bear Trap, & Our First Kids Story: Listener Episode #27

This week on the pod, Josh records from his childhood bedroom with guest host McKenzie as they recap their East Coast travels, including the Family Trips live shows in Philadelphia and Boston and Josh’s attempt to untangle his parents’ confusing digital accounts and subscriptions. McKenzie shares a family road trip to Down East Maine for her Uncle Mark’s celebration of life, including planting a tree with his ashes and a whale-watching trip where they spotted minke whales and porpoises. Plus, they hear listener stories about grandparents repeatedly taking wrong turns into Virginia, successfully trapping a bear with Tim Hortons donuts, and three Minnesota kids enduring a brutally cold January trip to Chicago.
