That was great.

- Really?
- Yeah, do it.
- You wanna see the Babyface pose?
- Yeah.
You're gonna love this.
- Okay, go ahead, go ahead.
- Oh.

You know what?
There are so many places in America you can visit, right?
I know.

We do some camping and head out to iconic American locales, like the Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, and Yellowstone National Park.
Yeah, we go all over.
- Wow.
- And guess what?
My family is here with me tonight at this amazing July 4th celebration.
