What a beautiful home.
Beautiful! I have sckoolie-envy! ?
Ok 6 kids but only 5 beds? What am I missing?
One bed is below…
That’s still only 5 beds. 4 bunk beds and one below. Where does the 6th kid sleep?
Note, they say family of 8 but only show 5 kids… So that could either mean the sixth child is either moved out and not living with them full time anymore or a baby that they didn’t want to show in the video that would still be sleeping with the parents… Or another adult family member who is traveling with them but not shown in the video…
Though, father did mention bunks are under rotation as older kids move out then the younger kids will take over their bunk…
That’s what I wondered too!
I absolutely love this beautiful home, there’s nothing that I’d change, it’s perfect the wait it is. Congrats to them, they did an amazing job in converting a bus into a home!
And I thought living tiny in a 312 sq ft cottage with two terriers and a cat was a challenge!
We are a family of 7. My husband is 64 and I am 59. We had planned to retire in a few years and travel. However 2 years ago we adopted 5 of our 23 Grandchildren. This makes me think we might still be able to do both. Thank you and I love your home and wouldn’t change a thing if it was mine.
We are a family of 7. My husband is 64 and I am 59. We had planned to retire in a few years and travel. However 2 years ago we adopted 5 of our 23 Grandchildren and thought that we would not be doing our dream at this time. You have inspired me it might still be possible to do both. Thank you and I love your home and wouldn’t change a thing if it was mine.
Wow! Bless you Cynthia for adopting them! I hope you can make your dreams come true.
Just NO with children ever……..
As a mom of three I tend to agree, but to each their own!
I have read this story before and seen the pictures. I still love this bus, and I love the story behind it. It is a great build and lovely decorating. What an amazing family. Best wishes to you and safe travels.
