Добавлен 3 май 2020
We’re John and Anna - An average family on an adventure of a lifetime with our two little girls - Alex and Hailey!
Back in 2020 we realized we had fallen into the standard - career, big house, suburban life and Covid helped us realize we needed a change. This wasn't what we had dreamed of growing up, or even when we got married. So I gave up my career, we sold our house, and left the suburbs for adventure with our two little girls and two wild dogs.As I followed my dreams starting RUclips John wanted to go back into the military. John served with the Marines when we first were married back in 2009. This time he enlisted into the Army and we are currently stationed in Hawaii. The adventure continues. Raising our girls on the island we are pursuing our dreams: learning to surf, paddleboard, snorkel, dirt bike, hike and hopefully also inspiring you to pursuit your... something!
The only thing guarenteed in this life is the pursuit!
Happy adventures!
Sincerely, Wiggy Family

Exploring the Best of the Allerton and McBryde Garden on Kauai (Plus Waimea Canyon!)
Просмотров 4835 месяцев назад
#Kauai #familyvacation #hawaii Kauai is the garden island for a reason. While there are many botanical gardens on the island the Allerton and McBryde Gardens are truly one of a kind. They are filming locations for many films including Jurassic Park. I was worried about taking my little girls on a guided tour around a garden. (They struggle to pay attention and stay quiet sometimes 😳). But to my...

We also recommend you go early in the day as it gets very crowded as the day goes on! This is one of the top-rated things to do on a vacation to Hawaii, but this is one that it was actually really nice to go....

Paddleboarding to Moloki'i Island (Chinaman's Hat) With Kids // Oahu Adventure
Просмотров 4108 месяцев назад
#hawaii #paddleboard This was a difficult challenge. At least with a six-year-old. Moloki'i Island, also known as Chinaman's Hat is a small island near kualoa ranch and Kaneohe Bay. A beautiful location on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. And when the weather is right a wonderful place to paddleboard or kayak. While the Mokes, Na Mokulu, get a lot more visitors, Chinaman's Hat sits a lot closer to...

#kidscityhawaii *Birthday Special*. In today's vlog, we headed to Kid City Adventure Honolulu to celebrate Hailey's 6th birthday! We have seen so many commercials for this place and at first, it seemed like it would be better for younger kids, toddlers, and such. That is until I realized they had a ninja course and a zipline. I mean how could you get any cooler than a zipline designed for young...

First Time Fishing in Hawaii with Kids: We Caught a Bonefish!

First Time Fishing in Hawaii with Kids: We Caught a Bonefish!
WOW... What a great video 👍👍👍
Before Hawaii I also used a trike in Colorado. My dad's friend Ken remembers this because he would see me on my trike sometimes when I was little he told when he saw me in Maryland some years ago to see my Dad again for work related to my Dad's job.
This summer in 2024 I have been to more pools. I have been to MacGill Commons and Locus park pool and Dickson pool and Hopewell and Hawthorne pool and Stevens Forest pool and Huntington Pool. What was nice about the Huntington pool is that they had special hours in the evening for Adults only from 7-10 on Saturday nights and their hot tub was steaming hot. As well as Clemens Crossings pool.
Thanks so much for making this video. We are waiting to hear back on if we’ve been selected to go. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Who helps with the DD forms 5121 and DA Form 4787?
I live in Mililani and have a lot of interaction with soldiers, sailors, airmen and their families. What I’ve found is that people either love it here or hate it here. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of middle ground. My in-laws left the Army actually left the Army before retiring because they didn’t want to PCS when it came time. One of the Scoutmasters from my son’s Boy Scout troop moved back here after retiring. On the other hand, my daughter’s best friend’s family enjoyed a lot of things here but couldn’t wait to PCS.
You pay $3000 a month to live on base?
Just pour water on your foot bro
Hi. This is such an amazing video. Is the general public able to access these trails and is there a fee if we are able to access them?
@@SeanHamamura-b7m there are signs that say you have to get a permit from the Turtle Bay Resort. But when I called them they told me to just go enjoy them. I parked next to the fruit stand. ☺️
Hi. This is such an amazing video. Thanks for all the information. Is the general public able to access these trails and is there a fee if we are?
He pulled it back wrong
Bravo! Thanks for sharing. Looks like you are having no problems dealing with the rock fever that some experience living in Hawaii. You guys seem to be enjoying Island/Army life? By the way, good job on doing things professionally with your channel. You have a great talent or gift if you prefer? Blessings from North Carolina.
I've had the "experience ". Unfortunately some would say, I lived there at Schofield Barracks, in "the" world war two Barracks. We called it "Rock Fever". It was from 1991 to 1995. Great job with your video. I enjoyed it.
Thank you so much!
Just show pulling footage whats the idea boring us with drivel talk
So poke needle twizers in pull out,easy
I think I would rather be in fort Polk/ Johnson.
FYI....Aloha Spirit is More than just a word. The Aloha Spirit is a feeling, way of life & an attitude. You get back what you put into.....
I used to live on Oahu. I was not worthy. The whole time I lived there I knew I was on borrowed time. Every time I return, I try to be worthy.
Lol 😂 your girls reaction when they realized they ate squid. They're too cute.
Ooo probably not a place id stay. Idc about internet as much its needing electricity hook up by a sink for my Kangen water maxhine. I need to have this water at all times
Ruebens are made on rye bread not sourdough. Ill have to try it but i love rye also
Please do not MOVE YO HAWAII PERMANENTLY WE DO NOT HAVE SPACE LITERALLY AT ALL
We're PCSing in December, our first PCS. But I've been so nervous but this helped calm my nerves a little thank you. 😊
Sucks you’re married. No strip clubs for you.
Being single and going to strip clubs all the time was paradise being there.
Your daughter is so brave! Great turtle activity, which beach is this?
Your MIL s face is shown quiet a few times. 😅 John and the girls look like her.
But your kids rock. I can't belive how much they can do at their age. Makes me feel awful as a mother. I wouldn't let my kids do anything. And now I'm begging them to but they don't want to. I should have started them young like you do
Hmmmm.... the max speed there in your neighborhood is 15. Yes I am that person. Because I'm always afraid someone is gonna hit a kid or a dog.
Raised a military brat and married into it. I get it. But I experienced it more when I was raised into it. I was blessed as my husband didn't have too many TDYs but I've had many friends and family over the years deal with it with their spouses. Thanks for the story. A few tears rolled down my face listening. I'd love to hear your guys story. Hopefully you remember.
But the base housing had backup generators. Whats their excuse for no power for yall
Your an amazing mom. Lol all these adventures they are on and they do it so well
Don't forget Waminae valley if your in a wheelchair there's a big golf cart that takes you to the top unfortunately they won't take your wheelchair so then you can't get out and theybstay for 5 seconds and you see jack crap. That's what they did to my dad because my husband walked his wheel chair up and by the time he got to the top the ride took my dad and me and mom back down. There was no where comfortable to sit and wait. The island is NOT ADA compliant . It was so hard on my dad. But next time I can go and hike it up. It's not a difficult hike. It's easy and k I'd friendly
Sorry for your loss
The day we left Hawaii we lost my dad. We only left so he could get care. It was too expensive in Hawaii so we sent him abdbmy mom 2 days ahead of us so we could spend our anniversary in Hawaii then we woke up to ge ton our plane to go back to the mainland and got a call my dad passed. I hoping I get to come back to Hawaii and do it over again because like I've said we missed out a lot between taking care of my dad with dementia and thr covid restrictions. So it will be 3 yrs this December I lost him. At leat I got to spend 1 last year in Hawaii with him everyday and made sure he was taken care of. The VA paid me to take care of him even though it was full time. It was exhausting but no regrets
That twitchy feeling is called it's powerband. Why the heck do you have flip flops on!!!😮
They should have given you upgrade for free or gi cc e you a major discount on the one they gave you
Thank you for sharing your story. Anyone who has lived the military life can make a life anywhere. My husband spent 33 years in the Army and I have no regrets. We lived through no-pay-due, lousy housing, lots of cockroaches, frozen and broken water pipes. I get it, it’s not an easy life. We lived all over, Tacoma, Wa, Ft. Campbell, KY, Schweinfurt, Germany, three years in Hawaii. Three years in Germany, that was tough. No pay due and lousy exchange rate. We had friends living on the economy who couldn’t pay rent or buy groceries because of the exchange rate. The unit collected funds to help those soldiers and their families. And trying to raise four kids on a Specialist’s pay? We had food stamps for a while. Four kids and countless moves later I look back and miss that life. I miss the friendships and moving around. But, man, the memories! It was amazing!
Im more terrified of jelly fish. Ive watched a lot of ocean ramsey so i can see how you cna control thr situaito. But jelly fish um no and you dont always see them. And it dont matter what you do theyll sting you atill. Actually you bump them and get stung by them. Lol
In 2021 they wouldnt let my dying dad into the Us Arizona. Because he was diabetic and no bags but i had to have his insulin on for ER. It wad a small diabetic bag and they said no then they gave us attitude andbthen found out it was canceled and didnt refund our money. My dad never got to go and he died the day we left. This time im gonna get to enjoy hawaii with no restrictions and not being someones caregiver. I was so busy with VA apts with him i rarely saw a lot but i still enjoyed it. The Luas were closed at that time.
You werent scare? Ive heard of dolphins takinf people down to their cove andndrowning then to death then trying to mate with them. I heard they can be jerks. How do you know when to stay aeay from them
We were there during all the covid restrictions so a lot was open . Im looking forward to going back with things open now. You look aamzing. You look like youve lost some weight since the first video i saw when you moved on Schofield and it had been 48hrs. Hawaii does that to you. I didnr even try and i ate so much good food and lost weight there. Its the Hawaii magic
Rainbow vacuum helps with dogs. I have one
Lol the scorpion centipedes are worse but you probably have the issues with coackroaches because the house has probably been vacant for awhile befire you moved in
The no digging is because of the WW11 chemicals theyve got about 12inches of top soil to cover it and f you dig youll release them
aye respect for making this video as a local who was born and raised you covered it great
This was so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼
Please change this caption!!! Don’t move here
This video is perfect. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
