1KHO 873: The Trips That Become Family Lore | Grace Ly and Marty Ohlaut, Tent for Seven

Some of the best family memories start with things going completely off the rails. Father-daughter duo Marty Ohlhaut and Grace Ly join Ginny Yurich to tell the hilarious, harrowing, and surprisingly moving story behind Tent for Seven, their memoir about a family camping trip filled with lost hiking boots, packed campgrounds, a washed-out road, a terrifying injury, two knocked-out teeth, bears, and strangers who seemed to show up at exactly the right moment. Somehow, the trip that went so spectacularly wrong became part of what held their family together. This conversation is a reminder that we don’t need perfect vacations or elaborate plans to give our kids a childhood they’ll remember. Sometimes we just need to go, stay open to the adventure, and trust that even the mishaps may someday become the stories we love telling most.
