      How to pick just one favorite part???? To many to choose! However, I really loved your intro song. It just made me happy! Inspired me!!

      I love how you gave Cali a piggy back ride into the water. We have seen you do it before and a strategy you inspired us to try. We went to Tonga and practiced this with our 3 year old before swimming with the whales. It gives them such a comfort knowing that you are just right there helping keep them safe. Creating that bond of trust.

      This entire video had me in the feels. I love watching yalls sweet family and seeing all the kids personalities especially how much they’ve grown from the last time y’all visited. Seeing how excited Manilla was, especially jumping into the ocean, is by far my favorite part of this video! His mannerisms are straight mini Garrett the older he gets, it’s so cute! God bless!

  • @jonathanwzx
    @jonathanwzx 2 ปีที่แล้ว +124

    Favorite part: Watching the coolest dad in the world teach his kids about the world. What a great role-model and inspiration to all guys out there!

  • @doinitalungu713
    @doinitalungu713 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Omg it’s so hard to pick the most favorite moment, starting from the kids reactions to the location, jumping in the ocean, discussing the favorite part of the day, amazing cute faces about salad vs desserts, to tricking each other to steal cereal. Every moment is my favorite. Alas I know the most favorite moment is Cali holding Garett’s finger while snorkeling, no matter how capable he is snorkeling, he still needed that little connection with daddy. That’s my favorite that no matter what our kids needs us. Love you, guys.

  • @tarinflyte3326
    @tarinflyte3326 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Incredible how Cali swam with sharks and Garret holding just his jacket! Cali holding just dad's finger during the snorkle experience shows amazing trust! Awesome, thanks for sharing. Love you guys all!🥰

  • @naosasaki9165
    @naosasaki9165 2 ปีที่แล้ว +133

    My favourite parts: just like Jess mentions, how Garrett pushes the kids just enough while at the same time making sure they’re comfortable, so inspiring!! Even as an adult that is not always easy.

  • @hananaifer7769
    @hananaifer7769 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I was LITERALLY smiling throughout the whole video ❤ First, my favourite part was the family walks at the beginning of the video ❤ I found it so symbolic .. it's like your special way of walking through life as a family! But then I also loved the part where Manilla guided Cali and helped him ride the bike .. That was so sweet and so symbolic of the family spirit that you guys keep on spreading! I lOVE YOU so much .. I want to TRULY thank you for being such a great source of inspiration ❤

  • @laura-mariabreunig3173
    @laura-mariabreunig3173 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The BEST part is when Garrett says "I love you Manilla" and Manilla "I love you dad" before they jump in the water. So so cute!! I love seeing how you, Garrett and Jess, talk, teach, support, push and appreciate the kids and what they are doing. It's just my definition for a perfect family and a perfect family life. I love watching your videos!!!

    Garett: Did you hear that?
    Cali: ya
    Garett: what’d he say?
    Cali: believe in me
    … such an awesome small but impactful moment to point out and encourage that brotherly relationship, at a young age!

  • @adellaskabelund5452
    @adellaskabelund5452 2 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    Cali: … “I got him.” ha. So cute and hilarious. No way was Manila getting his food.
    Watching Cali’s relationship with his older siblings who show him how to trust, try new things, love and be silly.

  • @alessiarevilla48
    @alessiarevilla48 2 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    When Manilla says: “it turned out just like I pictured it!” So cute and I find it really sweet that you guys did that trip for him so he feels special and appreciated!🥰🥰

  • @onedandylion
    @onedandylion 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I absolutely love Cali's little fingers holding on to his dad as they swim with the sharks... oh my! The trust and faith that he has in Garrett to keep him safe is simply beautiful.

  • @kenziethompson4093
    @kenziethompson4093 2 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    “We just have ultimate trust” I love that. I also have always noticed that you ‘push’ your kids in the most perfect way that allows them to do such amazing things. My favorite parts were watching how well the kids help eachother and seeing them in 2019 versus now. It’s crazy how much they grew in just 2 years. I enjoy your family more than you know!

  • @mirellagiselle
    @mirellagiselle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    That moment when Cali said, “I’ll hold on to dad” and went snorkelling with Garrett… priceless… it really takes a whole lot of trust to go underwater the way he did. Super proud of you Cali.

  • @KellyPboom
    @KellyPboom 2 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    “I got him!” After Cali held Manilla’s hands to make sure no snacks were snuck! Brilliantly done! 😂

  • @kimdye4308
    @kimdye4308 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I love the little noises of excitement that Cali makes in his snorkel when he sees something he likes. I love the way your children celebrate each other throughout the video. Such as Manila’s “I believe in you” statement when Cali is riding his bike and Dorothy’s excitement for Manila when he swims across the pool. Good job Mom and Dad!

  • @ivypannepacker9924
    @ivypannepacker9924 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Sneaking bites out of each other’s bowls! Loved Dorothy’s happy dance, and then how she acted casual when Manilla looked over suspiciously at her. Bright, clever kiddos you’ve got!

  • @jennifergalarza4334
    @jennifergalarza4334 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love ❤ seeing the kids faces full of excitement when they arrived and the sweet "Welcome Home again" Seeing Cali's 1st swim with the sharks 🦈. So many favorites but just watching the fun is ALL to put a smile on my face especially in my down moments.

  • @katherinenelson3629
    @katherinenelson3629 2 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    My favorite is when Manilla is trying to take Cali’s cereal and Cali goes, “I got him!” Your kiddos are so precious. Love your family and your mission. Keep spreading positive vibes everywhere you go!

  • @kristensmith2199
    @kristensmith2199 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    “I got him” I love how encouraging and supportive the kids are towards each other, it is so heart warming to see ❤️ I also love how manilla says “it’s exactly how I pictured it 🥺❤️

  • @jadey3x
    @jadey3x 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My all time favorite part not only in this video but almost every videos is when Garrett have his encouraging talk to all the kiddos every-time they do something big. The way Garret talk to all the children are so calm that give them a sense of peace. Cali did so good and is such a brave kid!

  • @nicoleporteous4543
    @nicoleporteous4543 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    When Jess hold back tears for the flowers and welcome fishy. Honestly, when someone puts so much thought into you personally, it makes me cry too. You're loved around the world!

  • @mariaguanta
    @mariaguanta 2 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    My favourite moment is when you and Jess, as parents, being encouraging your children and enthusiastic about sharks. Not demonizing sharks. This makes me happy as a marine biologist, we need this kind of happy vibes and respect for the sharks. Thank you.

  • @josebijl3621
    @josebijl3621 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @chelseamills192
    @chelseamills192 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I have a favorite part for each family member:
    Cali - watching him jump off the pier and face planting over and over into the sand 😂 and watching him learn how to ride a bike! Plus his comments are genuinely just the best 😂
    Manilla - saying “it turned out just how I pictured it” and seeing the pure elation on his face! As well as him running along the pier shouting “come on Dad let’s go!” with Garrett and jumping into the water.
    Garrett - seeing the absolute pride and love he has for each one of his children and hearing it in his voice. He is so amazing with them and you can hear the joy he has teaching them all new skills and watching them grow and progress with these skills. He has instilled such amazing values and pushes them to believe that they can do all they put their minds too.
    Dorothy - she really expresses all of her personality through her facial expressions 😂 her face when Garrett said to call the salad room her favorite room at the resort 😂 But the best part is seeing her relationship with her brothers and how both are different relationships but truly have love at the core of them both! Love how she was backing Manilla swimming the length of the pool and put out a helping hand in the final push to get him up.
    Jess - I truly believe that she is encompassed by true true love for her whole family. She lives through the eyes of her children and seeing how she is genuinely beyond happy seeing her children so happy learning and experiencing so many amazing things is so heartwarming! 🤍

  • @winnie-mile4183

    When Garrett says “you gotta run deeper homie” to Manila. You guys really are best friends with your kids & it’s so heartwarming.

  • @ANNAiSSS
    @ANNAiSSS 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    The best part is in the flashbacks seeing how much the kids have grown over the years and how they are all so sweet, adventurous, happy, and brave❤️❤️❤️❤️

  • @irisvanderwolde3435
    @irisvanderwolde3435 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My favorite part is the way Manilla looks at you before jumping of the dock in the ocean with sharks. His look says everything! Its trust, brave, excitment, joy, faith, love, its so beautyful.

  • @mackenzietorcasio3943
    @mackenzietorcasio3943 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Watching from Paris, France! My favorite part of this video (and really, all of them) is watching how you both interact with the children! We can see how differently they Like attention and it warms my heart to see you two paying attention and respecting that!

  • @medhajoshi7751
    @medhajoshi7751 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Dorothy's smile, Manilla's spirit and everything that Cali does makes my heart melt each time I see them❤️
    His cute little steps to run, his almost crying face and his little but enough confidence in the eyes to jump in water all of it makes me go 😍😍😍❤️

  • @Nicholelh76
    @Nicholelh76 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Honestly, my favorite moments is watching Jess be a mom. You can see just by the little things, that no matter where you all are she’s always on her game, taking care of everyone. But also getting so much joy from what her family is experiencing, always living in the moment. ❤️

  • @georgettesimonian2393
    @georgettesimonian2393 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love the way you parent your kids. You don’t let fear being them down. I like the part when Cali is saying SHARK SHARK under water and then Garrett brings him up and says “cool” let’s go say Hi. If there was any fear, the confidence of the father shows Cali he should not have fear. I hope to lead my future children like this.
    God bless

  • @martinarisalvato351
    @martinarisalvato351 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My favourite part is when Jess says that hers favourite part was to see manilla on cloud nine when he saw the island. The joy that you feel as a mum to see your kids happy is breathtaking. And also the fact that you try to make your three children to feel appreciated and special at the same level

  • @jenniferrae1910
    @jenniferrae1910 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I just love the little noises Cali makes when he’s snorkelling. Little sequels of excitement coming through a snorkel. It’s pure joy and amazement. A whole other world he’s experiencing for the first time 💙

  • @annaholt9910
    @annaholt9910 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I absolutely adore how much trust you all have in eachother. The family dynamic you have created is yearned for by so many - love, trust, generosity, encouragement, bravery, humour, pride, independence and so much more. The looks of pride and admiration shine through your faces and light up everybody around you. The moments of pride are my favourite parts of this and every video: when Manilla encourage Cali to ride his bike, when Manilla swam the distance of the pool, when Cali snorkeled successfully and and when Dorothy was still able to trick Manilla. Thank you for all that you do! 🥰🏝🌍

  • @monique8962

  • @polinbow225
    @polinbow225 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    My fave part is Garrett and Manilla saying “i love you” to each other before jumping into the ocean. 🥰 wishing I could do this someday with my baby girl (when it is safer to travel)

  • @SavFab
    @SavFab 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    When Cali was holding onto just your finger, pointing at the sharks and was excitedly talking about what he was seeing! It was like all the fear was washed away, looking at a brand new world under the sea

  • @marquishedrick
    @marquishedrick 2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    I just love hearing you talk about each child, and seeing how fearless and trusting they are within your relationship… it makes it hard to choose a specific moment because they’re all so dear. That being said, watching Cali spot a shark, hearing his noises and Garrett simply sharing in his excitement was really sweet to watch.

  • @pattyalarconely6936
    @pattyalarconely6936 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    It is really difficult to write my favorite part because I LOVE THEM ALL! but my favorite of all is Manila's determination to swim across the pool, and the encouraging and loving words from daddy until he made it! (I'm not crying...you are crying😂). Also... let's give it a credit to that special worm belly dance he does. The cutest! 💙💛💦You guys are such an inspiration 💫

  • @ameliahall4292
    @ameliahall4292 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I loved seeing the flashbacks of Dorothy and Manila starting to ride bikes in Soneva Fushi then seeing Cali start to ride a bike in the same spot as his older siblings. It brought a smile to my face seeing those flashbacks!

    Love, love, love the “favorite part of the day” at dinner time. I do that with my nieces and nephews when we travel together and those chats around the table are amazing.
    I think what I love most about your family is the magic you make of every moment no matter what it is, big or small. The pure joy and love you all share through these adventures is the best!

    @crissytuazon5684 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Muffled “Shark! Shark!” and Garret’s reassuring way of saying cool so Cali enjoys the moment and doesn’t panic ❤️ Manilla’s shots preparing to jump are also high up there. Dorothy meeting Cali by the shore, too! So many precious times with your adorable kids!

  • @oliviaevans7769
    @oliviaevans7769 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    “I got him” I love how encouraging your kids are of one another and it definitely is a testament to your parenting. My favorite part was Manila pushing Cali on the bike and telling him he believes in him the second day.

    I love it when Cali's realize that he loved snorkeling and that he did it right and told Garret "I made a good job!" And also he was so excited about seeing sharks 🦈 . He's one of the kind ❤
    Also when he was learning how to ride a bike and Manila help him pushing the bike with baby Cali ! I love how beautiful family you guys are ❤

    When garret says “Make sure you do your pedals forward.”

  • @mylovemylife98
    @mylovemylife98 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    my favorite part is when you all arrived back at the Maldives, you guys and the staff are able to have a genuine conversation of previous visits, and reminiscing on the kids growth. You guys create lasting relationships wherever you go, it’s so admirable to see! ❤️

  • @weempowher1340

  • @brittneehaenszel8758
    @brittneehaenszel8758 2 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    When Cali is holding onto just one of Garrett’s fingers. Like he is almost ready to let go but still wants that security. He just melts my heart.

  • @smjmissy
    @smjmissy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    My favorite part I agree 100% with Garrett when Manila said “it’s just how I pictured it”. There is something about a child confirmation of their vision that is so beautiful!!! 💙💙💙

  • @DeloresMendiola670
    @DeloresMendiola670 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite moment is Cali snorkeling. You can tell that the kids have a really strong bond with their parents. So for a kid Cali’s age to casually go in the ocean and snorkel says a lot. The kids are blessed with parents like you both because you guys open up opportunities, lessons and fun all while making memories that will stick with them forever. It’s amazing to see throwbacks because it not only reminds you guys of what has happened but also to reflect on oneself and cherish memories.

  • @adventuremomsdc6809
    @adventuremomsdc6809 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Favorite moment: too hard to pick just one! One for each kid: Manila & Garret jumping round 3 & the shark check. His adorable face is too much! But Cali learning to ride a bike is pure gold. The youngest vibe is everything and love the sibling relationships! Dorothy telling Manila to look at the butterfly is a classic & I love her dance after! But if I have to pick just one it’s the snorkeling with the sharks!! The squeals of delight are everything!

  • @esterm.641
    @esterm.641 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Favorite part: Garrett's laughter, filled with love, celebration and pride when Manilla manages to cross the entire pool with one breath. That kind of laugh is the most beautiful sound a child can hear. The sound we all wanted to hear from those who raised us. The sound that every child deserves to hear. A healing sound and so powerful ... Not once that I don't get moved when I watch your videos, they strengthen in me the determination to do my best, when I will be a mother, to make my son feel that I am proud of him, like Garrett's laughter...like Jessica when is moved by talking about her children...

  • @jenmon1
    @jenmon1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

  • @jalcaraz7234
    @jalcaraz7234 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cali when snorkeling with his poppa bear that melts my heart. I’ve never had a father growing up so I have that empty part missing and I can feel the love especially in this video. That’s has to be my favorite part!🥰

  • @jchal5180
    @jchal5180 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My favorite part is when you and Jess were talking about how when you are a middle child you can sometimes be forgotten - “BUTNOT IN THIS FAMILY!”
    It’s my favorite because I have always tried to make sure my middles never feel that way -each one is important and special. Glad to see how much fun he had!❤️

  • @emilysrs

  • @justinanoteboom1034
    @justinanoteboom1034 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Favorite Part - I loved how the kids were sneaking the food from each other! However- A general overall love of the video is just to get to see everyone living their life to the fullest… Life is short and I love every opportunity, experience, and memories the bucket list family gets!

  • @bettyshrew8939
    @bettyshrew8939 2 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @katinkalouw1137
    @katinkalouw1137 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    21:38 - is my favourite moment when Manilla through his hands in the air when Garrett ask him what is he going to do with his hands riding down the water slide.
    That is a raw child emotion.
    Because the older we get, the saver we want to stay, and we miss the moment to be free.
    To life in the moment like a child

    G: “Did you hear that? What did he say?”
    C: “Buhweve in me”
    G: “He does believe in you”
    Love his sweet personality!

    Baby Cali snorkelling with dad. He's so brave! Amazes me! And him holding on to Garrett's finger for safety. So cute!

    I love the snorkeling views with the crystal clear blue waters, Cali being so fearless in the water with the sharks is also incredible to see. Also the intro music is perfect as well ☺️

    Oh my goodness, the flashbacks!!! I remember when y'all were there before, this really shows how much the kids have grown up!!! My absolute favorite part was definitely Cali's excitement seeing the black tips swimming right there in front of him, it was like watching his excitement trump his hesitation. You can hear his excitement even when he's underwater. Love it

    Cali’s reaction seeing the shark for the first time is the best.💗💗

    Im addiced to these vids. Its amazing to see those kids learning about the world, playing tennis amazingly, learning to ride a bike, saving baby turtles from birds and so many other things that make me fall in love with them

    Cali had the cutest squeal and laugh while playing with his siblings in the kids den…..and how can we not have a good laugh when he just grabs Manila’s food 😂😍

    I love seeing the relationship between Dorothy, Manila, and Cali! Especially this week, seeing how they joke with one another about sneaking each other’s food and support one another through new experiences like bike riding and snorkeling. I’m currently at school and missing my two younger sisters, and seeing the fun the kiddos are having brings such a smile to my face! My sisters and I always watch your videos together, so being at my first semester of college in a different state from them has been difficult. This was such an amazing video, and I love seeing your family’s love for the Maldives. Hugs from Chicago!!

    I loved everything, but what made me tear up was the moment when Garrett and Manilla go for a jump in the ocean and they tell each other that they love each other. You can tell how happy Manilla is and it just warms my heart that you’re able to give your kids these kind of memories. Also loved the shark check after every jump, very important of course! ❤️😂

    Another favorite moment was when cali was learning how to ride the bike and the big brothers passed him and he got upset cuz couldn't keep up. I love how Garrett conforts them by encouraging them to push their limits. It melted my heart 🥰🥰 thanks for teaching me that, Garrett!

    Going to an airport by ferry definitely beats going by a taxi, car, or train! With the way the editing was done, it looked like the seaplane was barely in the sky which I love. Smooth. And wow, and I thought the pool at Soneva Jani was pretty cool with a view of the ocean, but this one at Soneva Fushi? This is the definition of tranquility. Being surrounded by nature. I can see why Manilla loves this place so much
    Seeing the sharks in the water at 3:28 moving the shoal of fish out of the way to create a path for itself is honestly so satisfying to watch.

    The way Cali is so confident in himself when he says “I got it!”
    The way you parent is inspiring!

    Hi guys,
    My favorite part is all the moment between Garett and kids when he’s so calm and talk with them. I can feel the trust in their eyes. I try to be as calm as Garett with my 2 daughters. When they feel understood and supported kids can do everything. They trust us as it was a gospel word. It makes me feel so many intense emotion.
    Love u guys and thnx for inspiring me so much 💙

    I loved it when Cali was in the back of his mom's bike eating some sweets, trying to talk to his dad. It kinda reminded me that even though there is so much hate in the world, there will always be a baby/kiddo enjoying sweets in the back of a bike. (Making our days better)

  • @sarahlemaster1432

    Favorite part was the kids stealing each other’s cereal and Cali tries to copy the big kids but just grabs a huge handful while Manila is staring right at him🤣 no shame :)

    The moment when Cali is like “I got him.” He is so savage and brave I love it. :D And also how all the kids are just so in with the nature the animals. 🌎

    Oh my. My heart ❤️ Just Manilla’s pure heart! And the way you got me to literally cheer: “Come on Manilla” while he was swimming the whole pool in one breath! I was so invested.

  • @guduthurshravan

    The way Cali says 'I got it'! As a father of a 2.5 year old, I love your parenting ways and skills. Being a parent, a guide, a friend, et al, is something much more than what a child needs. The ocean definitely has welcomed Cali just like how you embrace the bond between you two.

    Calli’s face when arriving is definitely a hit… however, the sense of freedom on all the kids for me is the most beautiful thing not only on this video but in all of your videos.

    The kids jumping off the dock into the water is the best!!! They have no fear just loving the water 😊

  • @heathercampbell4600
    @heathercampbell4600 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is just amazing. I love how much your kids love and trust you both. For Cali, the world must be a scary huge place for someone so little, but I have watched him with your help and encouragement, overcome his fears and anxiety with each video and put on his brave boy shoes. He does a little more and becomes more adventurous with each trip. I can't praise your parenting enough. You have raised caring, fesrless, confident, loving, empathetic and absolutely awesome children. Sending lots of hugs from Jamaica.

    My favorite part is when Jess and Garrett talk about the “ultimate trust” that Cali has with his dad and how well he learns with him. Absolute relationship goals that every parent should strive to cultivate with their children. Bravo 👏🏼

    Hi G family! I’m a Gee as well! I just wanted to say that your family has brought me to tears so often recently because of the inspiration you’ve given me. The way you raise your kids to be fearless and push them just enough when they need a nudge. I wish all kids had parents as incredible as you. When I graduate in May, im going to travel the world, you inspired me to do it! I want to meet as many people as possible and love every experience life has to offer, good and bad. Most people think it’s not a good idea and that I should use my degree to get a desk job, but you inspire me to do what makes my heart race and puts a smile on my face. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your life with us, it truly means the world to me❣️📷
