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 🌊🐟🤿🧜🏼♀🌴
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!
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 :)
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!!!!!
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 …
