Description

Welcome to Roam and Grow — Whoever said “Adventure ends when parenting begins” clearly never tried chasing a toddler through a bustling airport. At Roam And Grow, we’re on a mission to prove that traveling with children isn’t just possible—it’s priceless. Ready to turn ‘Are we there yet?’ into ‘Can we go again?’ Buckle up and join the journey!. Yep, you counted right we have 7 kids!!

Our love story started with a classic plot twist—Bonnie was actually on a date with my brother when we met in Las Vegas nearly 25 years ago. Fast forward a few months, and I swooped in, won her heart, and we’ve been together ever since.

Since then, we’ve built a wild, wonderful life together, raising seven amazing kids and traveling all over the place—sometimes with the whole crew, sometimes with just a few, and sometimes as a couple. With a family this big, nothing ever goes exactly as planned, but that’s just part of the adventure! We also managed to create two mini-generations within our own family—first came “The Boy Era” (our three sons), followed by “The Girl Takeover” (four daughters). There’s a four-year gap between our youngest boy and oldest girl, so it’s like we hit the parenting reset button halfway through.

Right now, all three of our boys are off on missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which means I am completely outnumbered at home—pray for me!

Traveling with a big family is challenging enough, but add in a wife with some tricky health conditions, and it gets really interesting. Bonnie has seizures and complex migraines, and when she has an “episode” there is nothing typical about it. She goes full “cooked spaghetti mode” (floppy, unresponsive, zero muscle tone). One time at the airport, it happened just before boarding, and I had to explain to the service desk why my wife suddenly resembled a passed-out ragdoll. Thankfully, the airline staff came through with a special wheelchair, and after an awkward but effective lift into her seat, we made it to our destination. By the time we landed, she was up and moving again—though we still needed a wheelchair to navigate the airport.

Even with the chaos, we wouldn’t trade these experiences for anything. Traveling as a family has taught us patience, flexibility, and that sometimes the best memories come from the moments that definitely weren’t in the itinerary. We hope to inspire others to travel with kids and their families, even if there are other obstacles in the way.
