Thanks so much for joining our little island family for some wild ocean adventures!! We really love sharing this world with you :) Drop a comment below and tell us if you are ever seen Risso's Dolphins before??!! I'd love to know... we consider them quite rare and special here! Also... how's your Christmas baking going? LOL... Stay strong this silly season! Lots of festive love from all of us here on the island 🌊🐟🤿🧜🏼♀🌴
You don't have to apologize to us, all of us who have children understand you. We are all in the same boat as you🤗 (as they say in Danish). Merry Christmas to you and your family🎄
The clips of the raindrops above and below the surface are just outstanding- totally mesmerizing. And while you may be on an island out in the wild, the “family adventure”, joy, frustration, hungry kids, where to stop, cuts bruises and tears - all lovingly familiar. 😄Merry Christmas to you all and thanks for transporting us to such a beautiful place with your family.
Merry Christmas to you and yours too! We love sharing our journey, even the messy parts as that is what life is right?! Glad you enjoyed the ep... the raindrops on the water were cool hey and even the sound of it as we freedived was really cool and different.. made the water extra cold for me LOL but I am very much acclimated haha
Merry Christmas to you and yours! Every Momma knows the feelings of frustration and sadness when our children argue and push each other's buttons. Our boys are teenagers and it never ends! They won't remember that when they look back, only the special memories you are creating. I know it can be exhausting though! Remind Philly and Arlo that Santa is watching!! 🎅 😉 Great catch, Ophelia! Looks like she caught a yummy lunch! Hope Santa is good to you both and can't forget Darwin! Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
One minute they’re best of friends and the next they turn in each other. Arlo and Ophelia are only 18 months apart so there’s also that competitiveness too. I really wanted some pleasant baking but I should have guessed on that day it wasn’t going to go well lol. But you’re so right… it’s the special memories that keep ✨🫶🏼 sending loads of festive love your way!
@TheIslandLifeofUs I get it! Too well! Lol Our youngest are 13 and 14 and we never know how it's going to go from one min to the next! 😏 It's actually gotten better as they have gotten older. They are better at separating themselves and going to their own rooms and cooling down before it comes to blows or tears or this Mom yelling! They have a best friend for life and I love that for them. Don't feel bad about taking a time out for yourself either, Kate. We all need some "me" time and you deserve it. I know time is valuable and not enough minutes in the day, but even if you take a 10 min reset it can make all the difference!
Happy Holidaze from Vancouver, Canada 🙂 I don't know what kind of dolphins we have here, but, often I do see them swimming/jumping/racing next to the ferry, along with orcas & humpback whales (april-oct) I love your videos. Spectacular footage!! My Xmas treat is Butter Tarts (brown sugar & raisins in pastry) I will look for gingerbread recipe! Happy 2025
oohh wow we would LOVE to see Orcas with the children... so cool to think even across the globe you are watching and enjoying creatures of the ocean just like us! Enjoy those Butter Tarts, that sounds wonderful to me!!! Happy Holidays from ours to yours too!!!!!
Your footage is amazing as always! It's healthy for kids to experience disappointment, and discontent (I felt for Arlo - I love watching rain... but from under a roof hehe). Fresh fish on the beach looked fantastic. Oh and so many dolphins!! Merry Christmas from a Kiwi in South Carolina, USA.
I think all up we had SIX pods of dolphins on this day... we didn't film them all.. but they are just such magical creatures and it never gets boring to enjoy their company in the wild! The beach food was great... sad we didn't capture the prep and cooking of it so much.. but next time!!! Well a big Merry Christmas to you too from these Aussies in the South Pacific :)
I have learnt so much about marine life watching your vlogs, especially the names of marine creatures. Risso's Dolphin is the new addition to my list. Love how Phily just skipped the 10 point system and gave a 15/15 for the food 😂😂 Merry Christmas from Chicago (windy city)
Yes, the Risso’s are amazing to see! Those 15 out of 15 scores are always a great reminder that we don’t need to be perfect to be happy 😊 ... A big MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family Elvin. Leana via
Love your kitchen specially the bottom draw thats a step for the kids awesome gave me a idea for my new kitchen merry Christmas and a happy New year xxx the drone footage was awesome the whole trip was amazing loved it x
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!!! Glad you enjoyed the ep! Yes... the kitchen drawer step has been wonderful... It has a drop pin that locks when you pull it out so there's no accidents with it sliding in while kids are on it.. can be tricky to release to put it away but very necessary!
Hey Guys. Dolphins are one of my fav sea animals next to the sea horse. They are glorious animals. I've never seen that sort before. I'm sorry about your sore eye. Hope is got better quickly. Thankyou for taking us along on your ocean adventures. Question. Do you ever get to see any sea horses? Is that something in your beautiful ocean? If it is id love to see some please. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dolphins are the BEST!! We love them so much.. they never get boring! The Risso's are around this area but very special to see! Yes we do get seahorses here... in the seagrass of the lagoon a larger golden brown type and pygmy seahorses on fan corals deeper on the reef.. Will have to head out again soon for the seahorse footage... it's been a while!
Good one with the life jackets. Not enough people do that in the Solomons. Too many lost at sea with an overloaded boat and no life jackets. Iu meanim …

Sometimes, as parents, you have to do certain things to keep you sanity. I get it❤❤

That there is real life. Not everything goes to plan but we make the most of whatever life throws at us ❤
For sure!!! Haha nothing is perfect and that’s what’s beautiful 🤸🏼♀️✨🤿
I love the video of the rain and water!
Isn't the rain on the water surface cool hey!

Yeah for sure... sadly most people out here and Marovo don't have access to PFDs but we are very conscious of it for sure.
