The life experiences you're providing your children are invaluable. It would be tough to find these type of experiences in a traditional school. Kudos to you both! Can't wait to see you tackle Europe.
I think this family is unique and also doing a huge service to the global community. Some third culture kid situations are a really bad idea. There's something to be said to being grounded in the right environment which is what a lot of third world immigrant families need - they are actually third culture kid families themselves.
I did not know that the game is available in other countries. I thought it was a local game here in the Philippines. By the way, we call it Sungka here and we play it using puca shells
I have a young toddler boy and I grew up with out any brothers and my dad did not live with us. Growing up, we played things pretty safe and there wasn't too much rough or dirty play. Plus my mama was super loving but kind of protective. I like seeing how much structured freedom you give your children. Sometimes I think uh oh that looks dangerous, when watching your videos. But so far there have been no major injuries resulting from such play. I say all of that to say, thanks for modeling how a parent can give their children freedom to explore without worry!
I really enjoyed this video!! I love how much fun your children have even if they dont win, they just enjoyed playing the game with others so much! Great sportsmanship. I so enjoy going along with your family on your journey of travel, thankyou for including us 😊.
What a fun outing! You guys did look like a bunch of nerds, all sitting there playing Chess. I wouldn't be brave enough to play someone I didn't know. I love your family so much. Still tagging along...I don't plan on letting you go to Europe without following every vlog. Stay safe.
Cheap 'n Chic At the beginning of the video Mike said Meghan wanted a break so we would stay at home with Jude and Eve. Sarah also needs to have fun and breaks. She is not a slave to the family. Listen again carefully.
I'm sure there is a lot going on behind the scenes, but so far I was thinking it appears they just added a new kid, as "Mom" said from the beginning of Sara coming, they can take care of their own kids. Sara is just there to help with the little ones therapy.
I love how... well amazing your family is!!!! All of your kids are so beautiful.!! Im so greatful you are sharing your family with us. Xoxo from the Green family in London Ontario.
Just finished a knorpp video Marathon. I fell behind & over 2 days went from "Are we getting a nanny (right before mount Rushmore) to this current one. Whew! Can't wait for Europe. Love the apt tours
So glad you guys seem to be having fun!! I am quite jealous of the amazing experiences you and your family are having, and you guys have inspired me to be a bit more adventurous! Good luck and God bless!
kassia skorzewska Peter looks more like mom and Asher looks more like dad. Peter also has lighter hair. It took me a while, but I can tell easily now. I'm a big fan of this family :)
Louison Chaya no they're not. Peter and Asher are one year older than the other but since they look so much alike I find it confusing to tell who's who
Love all your kids but specially love Peter and Asher the adventurous one! haha And I have to say that's parenting done right that your kids love spent time with each other and patient for others to do what they love. That's so hard to see in a family nowadays
Love your vlogs! Watching before taking a quiz! You are keeping me calm! Best of luck on the rest of your travels! New York is like my dream city! Although I live in California, so of course it is my favorite! Lots of love from the Central Coast of California!
I haven't done chess tournaments in nearly a decade (I was 10 when I stopped). I occasionally go back to it. Played against my brother with the Chinese set (it's lovely) we've had for years. I won the first match, then he beat me twice. It looked like a fantastic day.
I used to sometimes eat lunch there where you played chess, and I never saw that many people playing. lol it's a beautiful place- minus the flies and mosquitoes
They used to have that in their first intro, and made a new intro with all the family singing for the intro. I like new intro! Im sure you go could back to older videos to find out all the kids names?
Knorpp and South I think she means you should add everyone's names to their footage (in the intro video), so new viewers understand who they are, before watching your videos!
I watched a video from way back and you used an essential oil in place of hand sanitizer. I can't remember which oil you used. I have Discoid Lupus and my skin is very sensitive, store bought hand sanitizer is too harsh and burns my skin. I'm on a medication that weakens my immune system so I really need something I can use when I can't get to a sink and water. I was wondering if you think the oil would burn my sensitive skin? Thanks! Donna Hamilton
So frustrating seeing a lot of the passive aggressive comments on here trying to tell them how to parent, they're clearly amazing parents who love and trust their kids, people need to back off a little bit IMO
Do you guys have any tips about navigating Queens? I'll be flying into Laguardia late this Sunday and using transit to get me as close to home in NJ as possible. Done this from every boro but Queens so far
Hello Knorpp family! I just recently found your channel today, and have been watching videos the last couple hours. First off, I would like to say just how impressed, and humbled, I am at how you have managed to sustain such a large family. The kids are amazingly well behaved, polite, and courteous. With that said, I have a proposal. I am going to be contacting you in an email regarding Daniel. Would like to know if he would like a e-pen-pal to talk to. I am an IT guy by trade, and would like to poke his brain a little bit and see if I could interest him in such knowledge. Hope to hear back soon! Keep on keepin' on guys!
That's what I was telling my sister. I was like confused the order the vlogs had been posted. But if you pay attention it's actually in order but not being posted rite away. They're taking their time doing so which is fine
Tell Sara(h) that you win Mancala by emptying your row first... not by how many you get, as your objective is too dump your stones on the opponent. I heard her mention something about who had the most. I love that game too, actually the only one I play... lol!
Where are each of the Chinese kids from? I noticed Pearl's striking face immediately but I agree that Esther beautified after she was adopted. Both girls in this video - I really noticed their eyes - that's thanks to their parents - I've rarely if ever seen that quality in Chinese girls. It's a look and Sarah the new arrival has it as well. That's really good. I learned that people's look bloomed from career success. There is a strength in successfully attached Chinese girls - I used to read this dissassociative disorder blog by a Mom who had adopted a Thai girl and then a Chinese girl. And the latter did blossom but Pearl and Esther and Eve - kerbangers. This is a very unique family. I wouldn't be able to make a child happy like they have. And Asher is owning the recent videos. Maybe it's the editing. Peter and Elijah and Daniel look very appealing as well. I don't think it's so good usually for kids to be in the spotlight but these videos are kind of like a gift of the children willing to share themselves.
this is a little random, but after watching another one of your videos where Daniel was speaking Mandarin (so sorry if I got that wrong).. it got me thinking... Sarah, you are smart and beautiful and that's an unbeatable combo. You have clearly assimilated well and you speak English perfectly.. you are so lucky to be bilingual and I think that it's a treasure you shouldn't pass up on. Don't give up on what you learned in your past just because you have a beautiful (I really love you guys) American family now. One day, being bilingual might come in super handy! It's easy to forget a language, but it's not so easy to learn one. I think that it's so wonderful that you've been speaking strictly English because it led you to learn super fast but now that you speak English, try to practice your Mandarin too. saying this with lots of love and I also won't take offence if it's not something that you're interested in doing because you should always do YOU! lol, just thought I'd bring it up :)
omg yes! yes I did! I was talking about Esther, I thought Pearl already forgot because of the video I watched.. if she didn't forget then yeah, for sure I think it would be awesome if she kept it up as well!
Love the confidence Andrew and Daniel have to take the subway to Central Park!
It's nice seeing Asher and Peter off by themselves and getting to know them better
I just paused to say that the musics in your vlogs are always on point!!
The life experiences you're providing your children are invaluable. It would be tough to find these type of experiences in a traditional school. Kudos to you both! Can't wait to see you tackle Europe.

The game the girls are playing is called Mancala and it is great fun!!
We have had EPIC Mancala battles in our house!
We LOVE Mancala in our family. You can get small sets that are perfect for travel!
I did not know that the game is available in other countries. I thought it was a local game here in the Philippines. By the way, we call it Sungka here and we play it using puca shells
Haven't played mancala in years
oww peter saying "do not cut out the part where he got the red hand" hehe so cute
Yeah he was just so sweet, so charming!
That was asher!
Awwe the part where he says "mommy leave this in the video" made my night! Can't wait to see the France vlogs. Love u guys!
I have a young toddler boy and I grew up with out any brothers and my dad did not live with us. Growing up, we played things pretty safe and there wasn't too much rough or dirty play.

So great that the kids are into a variety of games and physical activities!
I really enjoyed this video!! I love how much fun your children have even if they dont win, they just enjoyed playing the game with others so much! Great sportsmanship. I so enjoy going along with your family on your journey of travel, thankyou for including us 😊.
Esther is so pretty! She is going to be a beautiful young lady!
I love her smiles! She seemed like she had a really good time that day!
what a great day. The kids really enjoyed themselves. To hear them be so excited definitely brings a smile to ones face.
Notice these kids are never glued to video games. So refreshing to see.
You Tubing because they are only allowed a certain amount of screen time
Ashley ! But the kids dont complain
It is so refreshing to see kids get along so well.
I never had a desire to visit New York until I saw your experiences. Now I'd like to visit. Your family continues to amaze and inspire! Thank you!
Way to go Dad. Everyone made it back in one piece 😅. Seriously fun to see just you and the kids. Quality time with Dad can't be replaced. 👍🏾
Esther is just the sweetest coolest young lady - such a joy!
Lolll Andrew... 'I was never won but it is good' hahahah what a nice spirit to have..
My favourite TH-cam family. I can't wait to watch your Europe adventure.
What a fun outing! You guys did look like a bunch of nerds, all sitting there playing Chess. I wouldn't be brave enough to play someone I didn't know.
I love your family so much. Still tagging along...I don't plan on letting you go to Europe without following every vlog. Stay safe.
so happy when i see your videos
+Diana Melendez - yay! Thank you!
Diana Melendez Where are the little ones? Shouldn't Sara be watching them?1
Cheap 'n Chic At the beginning of the video Mike said Meghan wanted a break so we would stay at home with Jude and Eve. Sarah also needs to have fun and breaks. She is not a slave to the family. Listen again carefully.

Cheap 'n Chic - it was Sarah's day off!
Love seeing mike bond with the girls 💕💕💕
Congratulation on Asher winning the game, i love watching your videos and i just cant wait for you guys to go to Europe
I can't wait for the Europe vlogs :D
I love how... well amazing your family is!!!!
All of your kids are so beautiful.!! Im so greatful you are sharing your family with us.
Xoxo from the Green family in London Ontario.
I have Mancala out for anyone to play on my back deck this summer, fun game! I see the girls were playing it!
congratulations to asher on winning his game 😍😍 your children are so cute tho
Just finished a knorpp video Marathon. I fell behind & over 2 days went from "Are we getting a nanny (right before mount Rushmore) to this current one. Whew! Can't wait for Europe. Love the apt tours
So glad you guys seem to be having fun!! I am quite jealous of the amazing experiences you and your family are having, and you guys have inspired me to be a bit more adventurous! Good luck and God bless!
I love that part of the park! I hope you had a good day today!
I always find it confusing to tell the difference between Peter and Asher because they look so alike
kassia skorzewska Peter looks more like mom and Asher looks more like dad. Peter also has lighter hair. It took me a while, but I can tell easily now. I'm a big fan of this family :)
kassia skorzewska are that twins? I'm new
Louison Chaya no they're not. Peter and Asher are one year older than the other but since they look so much alike I find it confusing to tell who's who
I'm glad that it's still my summer vacation bc I get to watch ur new vlogs right after u uploaded it.. love u guys
looked like a great day at Central Park with the kids....that is so cool they know how to play chess...hope they get to go back next Saturday.
Thank you for sharing,enjoy your traveling!!
What a fun spot! Rock climbing and chess, loved seeing your adventures! Peter and Asher sure are high energy boys! Hehehe
I been bingeing & I adore ur family and You both as Parents r amazing! Ty for sharing I will be a Knorrp follower for forever❣️
Mile's such a great dad!!!
watching the boys climb rocks brought back memories of my boys doing the same thing, so fun watching all the kids play!
We are headed to NYC in December, I'm making my must see list after watching these videos.
They're really good at promoting NYC. I can tell because I live here and I've watched the Mark Wiens and Strictly Dumpling videos.
Love watching your videos!!
Esther's top is so cute! If you don't mind me asking...where is it from?
+Natalie Cheah - I think it was from Target
I asked the same thing!
Great Dad..Smart kids..♡..
Love all your kids but specially love Peter and Asher the adventurous one! haha And I have to say that's parenting done right that your kids love spent time with each other and patient for others to do what they love. That's so hard to see in a family nowadays
I love u guys!! I can't wait to see the vlogs from France. I am so hyped!!❤️❤️ safe travels and blessings from me
+luckydog 11 - yay, France! 🇫🇷
Aww Asher is so sweet :) Chess in the park looked a lot of fun :)
Love your vlogs! Watching before taking a quiz! You are keeping me calm! Best of luck on the rest of your travels! New York is like my dream city! Although I live in California, so of course it is my favorite! Lots of love from the Central Coast of California!
+FallWinter15 ❤️Good luck on your quiz! 📖💡
Your video give me so much joy!
+Brandi R - thank you!
Also, my dads name is Andrew, and he has two brothers named Peter and Daniel
I haven't done chess tournaments in nearly a decade (I was 10 when I stopped). I occasionally go back to it. Played against my brother with the Chinese set (it's lovely) we've had for years. I won the first match, then he beat me twice. It looked like a fantastic day.
+xEmmaberryx - so cool!
I used to sometimes eat lunch there where you played chess, and I never saw that many people playing. lol it's a beautiful place- minus the flies and mosquitoes
Cuties, those boys running up the rocks!
I bet there is some great geocaching in New York.
Y'all inspire me!
+Amanda Pettry - thank you! 😍
Asher is so sweet he looks like Elijah both cuties🤗
Any new videos soon? I miss not seeing them!!
Muito bonito este lugar é um parque muito bom divertido tem muita vontade de conhecer
Wow, our local "board" game here in the Philippines Sungka is there! And I think Sara knows how to play 😁
So engaging
I miss Jude and Eve!
great vid tfs!!
could I make the suggestion that in your intro you Include the kids names with their photo? maybe age aswell
They used to have that in their first intro, and made a new intro with all the family singing for the intro. I like new intro! Im sure you go could back to older videos to find out all the kids names?
+Aurielle - if you go to our website you can see their names and ages on the "about us" page! www.knorppandsouth.com
Knorpp and South I think she means you should add everyone's names to their footage (in the intro video), so new viewers understand who they are, before watching your videos!
I know names and ages of the kids. just thought itd be easier for first time viewers :) thanks though
I see what you mean, I know all of them (:
I watched a video from way back and you used an essential oil in place of hand sanitizer. I can't remember which oil you used. I have Discoid Lupus and my skin is very sensitive, store bought hand sanitizer is too harsh and burns my skin. I'm on a medication that weakens my immune system so I really need something I can use when I can't get to a sink and water. I was wondering if you think the oil would burn my sensitive skin? Thanks!
Donna Hamilton
Knorpp and South maybe one day you guys can come visit Australia, please like and comment
+Nhi Y Nguyen - Australia 🇦🇺✅
Just found your channel.. love it and love how that children are experiencing life
I LOVE Ester's blouse! Where did she purchase it?
I missed seeing jude and eve on the vlogs 😅😅😅😅
lui Hrms me too. Hehe
So frustrating seeing a lot of the passive aggressive comments on here trying to tell them how to parent, they're clearly amazing parents who love and trust their kids, people need to back off a little bit IMO
Never been this early before :o look forward to your European trips 👍🏼👍🏼
+Nicola Williams 👍👍
When are y'all leaving NYC. Knorpp and South
Central Park is beautiful.
+Deb W - soooooo beautiful!
Do you guys have any tips about navigating Queens? I'll be flying into Laguardia late this Sunday and using transit to get me as close to home in NJ as possible. Done this from every boro but Queens so far
would you guys ever come to South Africa / Africa?
Andrew is so much like Mom.
how fun guys! the kids really enjoyed it! 😊
They all had fun. :D Maybe there'll be chess parks in other parts of the world that you visit so that Andrew and Daniel can play with more people! :D

What is the name of this song....please reply...tq
I started watching when you were about to move out of the r.v. I enjoy keeping up with you guys. Curious? Are all your children adopted?
+Nancy Rogers - we had four boys biologically before we adopted our five kids from China.
Hi Guys, may i know the wats the name of the essential oil u guys work for?
+Sam Tahir - doTERRA!
Okey😁😁
i am sorry i play favorite! i love Asher more than anyone! 😂😔😂 Peter second! hihi.
Is this after the car was robbed. I thought they were in Queens?
Peggy Crowley I think their vlogs are slightly staggered as I remember seeing them post on their Instagram about the robbery like a week or so ago?
That's what I was telling my sister. I was like confused the order the vlogs had been posted. But if you pay attention it's actually in order but not being posted rite away. They're taking their time doing so which is fine
+Peggy Crowley - we are! This was the very next day and I stayed home in Queens while Mike went back over to Manhattan! Sorry that wasn't clear!
Knorpp and South thanks so much for responding. I so enjoy your family and the adventures!
Nice park where the boys played chess and climbed on rocks.
How have you people been been a while since I was on utube
+Gerald Matuszewski - we're great!
Tell Sara(h) that you win Mancala by emptying your row first... not by how many you get, as your objective is too dump your stones on the opponent. I heard her mention something about who had the most. I love that game too, actually the only one I play... lol!
It is said to be the oldest game on the planet, so I imagine it has many variations in reality.
Esther is beautiful!

And Asher is owning the recent videos. Maybe it's the editing. Peter and Elijah and Daniel look very appealing as well.
I don't think it's so good usually for kids to be in the spotlight but these videos are kind of like a gift of the children willing to share themselves.
Asher's editing tip was really cute. Is that the first time someone has requested not to edit something out?
Pearl and Esther are so beautiful.
Are Peter and Asher twins?
Angela H they're irish twins, meaning they aren't actual twins, the were just born in the same year
+Angela H - almost! Almost exactly a year apart!
Im here early!!
+Carmen Preciado 👋

omg yes! yes I did! I was talking about Esther, I thought Pearl already forgot because of the video I watched.. if she didn't forget then yeah, for sure I think it would be awesome if she kept it up as well!
Agree. You will always have a job if you speak Chinese and English
👍❤❤❤
Counting is not allowed in Mancala. It is considered cheating. Fun game tho.
I hear there's a legend that if you're early they'll reply....
+grace lim - the legend of the reply! And here I am making it come true! 💃🙋🏼
man this is a miracle thanks so much!
Man, Sarah is a vision of beauty.
Of all the kids I like andrew more
Have you ever had your kids IQ tested. I'm pretty sure at least 5 are brilliant.😀
they're definitely smarter and more awake than I was at their ages.
Could you add Sarah to the intro??!!
Are they Mormon?
Yes
