The Bass Pro store in Springfield Missouri is worth the time to see. Branson, MO is also nearby and very family friendly.

Yes, I sure agree! Living near this main Bass Pro store is amazing, plus it's Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium!! Rated top in the Nation since it began. They would all love that experience, plus the store itself, which is the best & largest of all of their stores. Also, there's the Bass Pro Outlet store right next to the main store, where there's very affordable bargains, year 'round!!👏💖😊
It warms my heart seeing you, Alex, and your family unwinding from your moving ordeal and relaxing and enjoying life. I can't get over the change in the children! They now have such beautiful bright smiles of joy on their faces, as do you and Alex. God is good. Homeschooling here in the US is getting more and more popular. You can teach your children morals and Christian values without Government mandates. There is now a lot of great resources to help you. I think Homeschooling is so very important in these trying times we live in. Blessings to y'all!

Thank you! We feel great. We love the homeschooling.
So happy to see you all visiting Nevada and doing well. I am now with my son and family in Summerlin, Las Vegas, and I will be returning to Italy mid-January. This community is next to the exquisite Red Rock Canyons which we can see from our windows. The house is very near them and we often go hiking there. Maybe I will meet you all sometime in the future. With God all things are possible. God bless you, and may He continue to order your steps.

Wow. That sounds beautiful. Thank you so much.
I totally loved following the Hollar Homestead family in their cross-country search for home. Now looking forward to watching you guys in your search (with all the adventures), on the way to your new home. Yipee!
I’m happy for your family to be experiencing the USA. The West is big, isn’t it? I live in SW Idaho, so not too far from where you were. It is also high desert where I live, but not as high elevation. Homeschooling your children is busy and challenging, but also better for their nervous systems and their minds and hearts. We homeschooled for about 18 years. I think it is the best option for a lot of people, not everyone, of course. Blessing to you!

@cynthiafisher9907 oh really?! That's pretty cool! What a small world!
Hello Simeon and Alex and kids. May our most high and Holy God continue to bless you all. I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving and may you all have a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year… ❤️❤️❤️
So wonderful that you had this great family experience! 👏🤗 Very thankful that you could all get away for awhile at that mountain retreat home.❤ The ending reminds me so much of when i took my 3 children (now in mid-30's to early 40's) to Dworshak Dam in Idaho, which spans the beautiful Clearwater River. It's a much smaller dam, but they were amazed by it, & still clearly remember all the details of that visit.💓 Hoping that you can visit Idaho as you travel! I lived there 45+ years, my two sons still live there...& I pray I can move back there. It's a very diverse landscape, plenty of excellent agricultural land there, & the largest wilderness areas in the lower 48 states! Gorgeous country there! Prayers for you all as your journey continues!🙏💖🙏...& have a wonderful Christmas!🎄🕊🥰🙏
Love the cabin and so glad you all have some relaxation time together!! Great video shots of the landscape and cities. Enjoy! Looking forward to more on your journey. ❤
I'm overjoyed that you are taking it all in! Hope this is your most joy filled Christmas ever complete with many answered prayers!

Thank you! You too!
You all look so happy! A joy to see.
When you drive to Tennessee area ... be sure to stop at the Bass Pro Shop in the Pyramid in Memphis!
Be glad you are not in Arizona in the middle of the summer! 🥵 I'm happy you and the family are having a good time in the US, you all look so happy. Yes, Hoover dam is very impressive!
I love vacations with the kids at that age. It was nothing but fun!
Lovely adventure! My husband was in Utah in May/June while I stayed here. I asked him to bring some Redmond salt home with him! He toured all around - lots to see and he sent photos and videos back (and brought quilting supplies home with him - for meeee!) which were amazing! I did like your cabin in the woods with the balcony. Awesome! The outdoors shop looked great too! Thank you!
Welcome to America wow the kids have really grown
Awesome! That is the one I shop at on Dobson and the 202. Hope you all have a blessed week. God bless! 😉👍💖
Vad kul att se några av er igen! Tack så jättemycket,vielen dank and thank you all!
Very interesting video. We have traveled from Idaho to Arizona numerous times. God Bless you in your travels and may God lead you to your new home.

Since you are homeschooling you may be interested in the roadside geology books. They explain the geology of the scenery as you drive along the highways
It's not frying but grilling, i know its hard to get the terms down once y'all come to a new place, you will notice in different states they have different names for things you thought were right way It's a whole different sounding but it means the same, but I'm glad y'all made it to the US it took forever, I've been with y'all ever since you were around your parents with the highland cattle, chickens and your brother the forestry master lol, but glad that you and the family have made it and now the journey begins to find your forever home where ever that will be, now I'm proud to call you a neighbor.

Wow, es ist wirklich schön zu sehen wie ihr endlich angekommen seid. Nach so vielen Umwegen nun da! Es fühlt sich für mich nach einer großen Erleichterung an. Ich wünsche euch ganz viel Freude und Glück und bin gespannt wie es weiter geht und wo euer neues zuHause sein wird. Ich sende ganz liebe Grüße!
Simeon and Alex maybe you could become an affiliate to Redmond's to help your channel. How nice to be able to have that cabin in the Mountains.
I'm glad your family is enjoying the USA! 🇺🇸 The Redmond store looked awesome!
Hope to hear from you soon. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A "cabin" in America is often a full sized house, just "in the mountains" and not lived in year round.

Are you stupid?
Bass Pro Shop is very well done👍. Hi Danny👋. Im glad your friends opened up their pkace to your family🎉. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and get away😊. JO JO IN VT 💞
It is a great place to shop!
Wow! You were so close to Idaho! You were actually about 6-7 hours away from where I live at most. It would be so awesome to meet your family someday.
Welcome to Arizona. We live in Sierra Vista (south east of Tucson) Good call to take a time out!! Best to get out of the city !!! The White Mountains , Snow Flake, Eager, etc is good !
Would love to hear your impression(s) of the Redmond soil additives.

Never tried them...
Bass Pro is just down the street from our sons church. At Lake Mead (Hover Dam) there is a easy trail of five huge historic railway tunnels you can visit for free. Another place to visit is St Thomas, it is the ruins and foundations to a village that was submerged under Lake Mead. Another place to visit is historic Corn Creek National Wildlife refuge. Another place to visit is Cold Creek off grid community where donkeys and Wild Mustangs roam free… with hiking trails in the ponderosa pines. Vegas as a lot to offer, outside the city.
Come to Texas and visit a Buc-ees.
Sierra Vista is High Desert also, We are very happy to hear that you are home schoolers !! We used to live in Utah. Good people. . Prices are high. Where are you thinking about settling down?
looks like a Cabela's - you are going to have many surprises and fun adventures!!!!!!!!

Cabela's now owns Bass Pro, but this design is original to BP. Edit: I stand corrected, it was the other way around.

A 25lb bag of Redmond's salt is 75 dollars at a Mennonite Store that I frequent. I bought 10lbs online for 50 dollars. If you move to any of these states Missouri/Kentucky/Pennsylvania/Tennessee/North Carolina/Ohio/Indiana there are very large communities of Mennonite and Amish. I would not eat most of what they sell in their grocery stores but they are a good community of hardworking people. I try to educate them on processed food but they seem to think most of us English eat it so it must be fine to consume. Glad that you and your family have a beautiful cabin to stay at for the Christmas Season! Merry Christmas to you all! God Bless!
My father actually went to something like a one room schoolhouse (I think it had three rooms).
Phew! Glad to see you moved that grill away from the cabin siding! That could have ruined your relaxing family getaway. And how long have you been carnivore? I'm in month 6 and feeling 20 years healthier.

We do miss the snow a tiny bit, but the winter in Sweden was simply too dark and too long. We don't miss that part.
Bass Pro is a bit of Americana in a retail setting. 😂 🐠 🚤 🏕️ 🦌🍔
❤️🇨🇦
Wonderful place but can be expensive.
🖐😎💜
Cabellas is fun, but kind of expensive.
Will you all be traveling other areas of the US before finding a home or are u planning on staying in Arizona?
How do y’all like living in America?❤❤
i am a little confused. Did you really go from Las Vegas to Salt Lake and then to Hoover Dam?
5:50 Qualify that statement. By what metric?
Just fyi I watch all your videos and still your channel is wayyy at the bottom when I have my subscriptions listed by relevancy. I do get your notifications but it’s weird that your channel is down with the channels that never post.
A healthy family like yours does not need electrolyte supplements.
everytime I see some smug Euro bashing Americans for not being well traveled.I laugh at their ignorance...Why do we need to leave the USA to be "Travelled" ? we have so much here to see
How do you like Utah? Been thinking off and on whether or not I should move there.
