The first time my teen traveled without us... (graduation trip) Before she left... Livvy had one important question. 😂 Bye mommy! What do you need to remember? Mom's safety checklist... and it's a long one 😂 Passport, wallet, phone What? What else? The answer mom was waiting for ❤️😂 You have to remember mommy! Yes, the most important thing! Dad had serious advice too... Please be very aware of your surroundings Until he noticed the camera 😂 That's it? Your videoing? 😳 Even Millie had to say goodbye ❤️ I'm gonna surprise you, okay? She wanted a friends trip... not a mom trip 😂 You can see me there No no no no no 😂
