It really means a lot to us that you have shared these comments - thank you. Our family is so important to us and we choose to live this lifestyle so that we can spent maximum time together as a family and enjoy the special environment! The waterfall was honestly so incredible! The Solomon Islands are a hidden gem that not many people know about but it's so beautiful and has so much magic to offer!!! I hope you enjoy following our story - thanks so much for watching!! PS Jase says he's been told he looks like Guy Pearce before 😂
@@TheIslandLifeofUs Hello there !! Lol. I thought so !!( reg.your husband ) Lol. He is a very good actor & a good looking guy ! So ,that's a good thing !! Lol. I admire you choosing your life to spend more with your kids & in a very beautiful environment !! And buying & feeding organic foods to your precious kids !! I think just by all those three things alone ,you score real high as very very good parents !!! Great parents & parenthood indeed !🥇 I'll look forward to watch more of your videos !! Thank you so much for your reply & please stay safe ! Thanks for the info .reg.the place !! I am gonna Google it later & study some more ! Lol.👍👍💜🥁🐉🎵🎤🎶💞
Honiara 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you for showing central market and all its produce! I miss how accessible organic, homegrown veggies and fruit were- not to mention the beautiful jewellery and lava-lavas! AND of course the views + waterfall at Tenaru! GREAT EP GUYS! 👏🏽🥰
Yes!! The market was unbelievable! It was so incredible for us to see as markets in Marovo are small and no where near the variety available.... we tried some new fruits and the kids got necklaces!! It was awesome! Tenaru Falls was absolutely amazing! We truly enjoyed our time in Honiara!!
It’s so sad when children hurt them self but the tender care from Arlo towards his sister was so sweet at the hospital when he tenderly held her leg bless him it really help. The trip got better and better as time went on by the look of things. You execution brought great memories with the highlight being that amazing waterfall. So glad Ophelia has made a speedy recovery to experience the sights. Your have a beautiful family looking forward to more adventures with the family keep safe 🤗
Aww yes Arlo was so sweet with Ophelia at the hospital... he's such a loving big brother. As I type this, Ophelia is crying in their room and Arlo is saying "It's ok Filly, I'm here in the room, you're ok" ha ha. The week sure did improve and the waterfall was a massive highlight - I can't wait to get back and see it again though who knows when that might be! Thank you so much for watching and I hope we can keep you entertained with more big adventures coming soon!!
@@TheIslandLifeofUs my brother and I were exactly the same growing up. We are 17months apart so, lol our parents went back to back with the pregnancies! All our lives we were best friends! He never cared that I was around him and his friends. He Was never embarrassed of me and we BOTH are highly protective of each other. One of the most ironic things too, is that my brother married my best friend from high school!! Anyhoo…wonderful vlog as usual!! Take care and be safe…. Which I know is asking a lot when you have toddlers lol!! Much love, I’ve just subscribed and I am looking forward to watching all your videos!!❤
Oh wow! Loved arlo being the doctor with Ophelias foot 😂 and the kids faces at the end under the waterfall was priceless, so beautiful what an amazing memory 🥰🥰
Awww i know.... Arlo's fear at the waterfall vs Filly completely loving the thrill of it hahahaha but they were both brave enough to give it a high 5 😂
Another great episode guys. I most loved Arlo’s proud face when you told him he was doing a good job looking after his sis. Heni is doing a similar thing when Maynard cries at the moment. He thinks it is his exclusive job to calm him down and that no one else knows how to do it properly. So cute lol.
aww I know.... and this was from the check up - at the first consult when she was really scared and in lots of pain he was so sweet and the doctor had him perform all these tests haha such a good big bro. I love that Hendrix is taking on the soothing big brother job!!! So sweet to see the bond forming. Can't wait to meet little Maynard - hopefully soon xxxx
Yes it was lucky not to be anything major - she’s already running laps of the island again now 😂 I’m honestly so grateful it all happened and it took us to Honiara as we got so lucky to explore the waterfall and enjoy the beautiful side of the town. I’m really excited about the next ep and I think you’ll love it too 😁
Wow - I get to see two new (for me anyway) videos on the same day! It was fun watching Arlo interacting with kids his age. That socialization is so important. And the island where the school is looks somewhat familiar! Anyway, keep these great videos coming. As for the one thumbs down, what the hell is wrong with some people?
Hi guys. I’ve just discovered your channel and would be really interested to hear your background, how you came to the decision to live this lifestyle and how you acquired an island! Is there already a vlog about this that I haven’t seen yet? You’re an inspiration ❤
Hey guys. Great video. We're both glad Philly's ok. Gail's disappointed that she'll miss you when you come down to Brissie next month. Ah well, we'll just have to come to you when Covid restrictions are lifted.
Thanks guys... yeah it was a big relief that it was nothing too serious and now she's back to running around like mad!!! Yeah I hope we can pull it off but not feeling confident at this stage with all the covid outbreaks going on. Definitely keen for you guys and everyone to visit asap!!!
Paranginju...the water fall is amazing, but you guys are so fit to climb up back the hill to go back to the lodge, i stopped almost 20 times to catch my breathe lol
oohhh gosh that place is so special!! We stopped plenty don't worry and we had help from one of the tour guides to carry Arlo some of the way... it's worth the challenging hike for the waterfalls at the end!!!
Thank you guys for watching!!! It's so special to us to have so many people connected to the Marovo watching our channel!! Lots of fun adventures to come 😁
I know right!! It was awful going through the videos to put this together but overall so lucky it was nothing serious and she bounced back really well. She didn't walk on it properly for about a week. The waterfall was insane!! Loved it so much and can't wait to go back!!
Thank God that she’s recovering ❤️🩹. Seems like you’ve forgotten your drone😍😍. When will you guys go back to the island? Ill catchup with you guys sometime 😍😍. Im also in Honiara. Good video by the way. Cant wait to see more 👌🏽
Yes it was so fortunate she wasn't badly injured. We are already home now as this happened about a month ago. We didn't pack the drone in our mad rush to get to Honiara that day... and I guess we weren't thinking about needing it haha but in the end we were so sorry we didn't have it when we got to Tenaru Falls!! But we will be back for sure!Thanks as always for watching 😁
You guys are amazing and I remember it very vividly when you shared the accident of Ophelia in insta….I was very worried and now seeing the footage just made my heart miss a beat. It’s just like with us sailing around the world, we only can do so much and it takes a while before we are at a medical care center sometimes even weeks. Love your videos, keep them coming! Much love from the three of us.
Yes it was a scary experience and not the first time we have had to rush to get Ophelia an x-ray 😳 but so thankful it was nothing too serious. It's difficult to make a video like this and relive the whole thing but given it turned in to a fantastic week it made it ok for me! There are many similarities between remote island living and living on a yacht sailing the world!! We often think about that 😜 glad you enjoyed!!
I never thought I'd enjoy Honiara so much. Honestly, we had an absolute ball! Ha ha so it's so good to have done the waterfall hike as now we know how amazing it is!!!!
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!! Great job Katie! And it was wonderful to see Dr. Arlo help his sister during her exam. I'm glad you didn't need the services of Douglas, and it was also nice to see Atkin again! But of course the best thing was that Ophelia's injury was not too serious!
Thanks so much Dave. It was tough to relive the emergency to make this video but also a real experience to share to show what it's really like. We had such a fun time it has forever changed our view on Honiara 😂
haha I know right!!! It was definitely a fun experience in the end and good for the kids and us to have a change of scenery for a bit. The waterfall was so magnificent!! We wish we could have stayed there a little longer!
Hello! It's hard being a parent at times. It was so good it was nothing serious and you ended up enjoying the experience rather than having a hell experience.
Yeah it sure can be stressful and being so remote always makes things more dramatic. It was a blessing in disguise as it truly was an awesome family getaway in the end!! Thanks for watching! More ocean adventures next week 😜
I just came across your channel and glad I did. Now, I have to start from the beginning to see your journey. Where are you both from and how did you meet?

Your kids are going to have the most incredible experiences to show future generations!
Yes we hope so... feel very privileged to be raising a family this way!

Thanks!! It was a great ending to a mental week for sure!!! Have you ever hiked in Honiara?
I wish. Next time I come to Uepi, I’ll have to make time to see more of the Solomon Islands

You both are great parents for this and even giving them the life they have. Make sure they like cats though
Haha I think the kids are both already quite hesitant with cats and dogs 😂 funny considering they have zero fear of sharks

Filly's smile is contagious, loved it when you guys were playing at the waterfall.
Totally... she was so thrilled to be heading in to the waterfall 😂 she's our little thrill seeker for sure!!!
Hey guys.
Great video. We're both glad Philly's ok. Gail's disappointed that she'll miss you when you come down to Brissie next month.
Ah well, we'll just have to come to you when Covid restrictions are lifted.
Thanks guys... yeah it was a big relief that it was nothing too serious and now she's back to running around like mad!!! Yeah I hope we can pull it off but not feeling confident at this stage with all the covid outbreaks going on. Definitely keen for you guys and everyone to visit asap!!!

Thank you so much! It was a stressful beginning but ended up being such a great week away! Thanks for all the support!!
A relief that your little girl recovered well. I really enjoyed watching this and along with everyone else I anticipate the next ep. :)
Yes... and thank you so much. Ophelia is running around like crazy once again though it did slow her down for a few weeks!! Glad you enjoyed the ep!!
Arlo is not used to less buoyancy in the pool!
haha totally!! And it was quite a shallow pool and he could just touch the bottom! He had a ball!!
Such a crazy trip but sooo amazing to get out of town and explore!
Absolutely! And catching up with some amazing friends was another highlight hey!
The hike and waterfall are out of this world!!! Almost makes me want to get stuck in Honiara. 😆
I never thought I'd enjoy Honiara so much. Honestly, we had an absolute ball! Ha ha so it's so good to have done the waterfall hike as now we know how amazing it is!!!!
The kids love watching your adventures - it’s a weekly treat for them! They were very sad to see their friend Filly cry.
