      Yes. This one was very unique and interesting. Keep them coming please (well, within reason of course b/c of Hunter) you guys should let her somehow pick where you go or do for a video. That would be so much fun to watch too. Just an 💡.

Has there ever been a video here, that hasn't brought on the feels. Oh absolutely, please don't hesitate embarking on more such ventures. Doesn't matter where you are really. On the ground, water, in the air. Because I am always uplifted. Another thing...I love Legos. I don't care that I added another candle to my cake last month. There is forever a child in me. And I am eternally grateful for the experiences you share with us. Love you guys

    Awesome little break on the houseboat......re skippers tickets, you dont need one most places to drive a houseboat. In fact there are houseboats for hire on the Murray River out of Mandurah.....no skippers ticket needed there either, dolphins playing in both the river and estuary and no crocs so you can actually swim from the houseboat.

    Loving the boat! Slightly different wildlife to the canals here in England though!

    I just discovered your vlog. I’m overwhelmed by it. Waw. What a beautiful thing to watch. I was hoping to start of soon too as I’m retiring soon. Been dreaming of this lifestyle for years. But now I’m kinda put on hold because of this nasty thing starting with a C. Going through treatment so I’m into watching a lot of vlogs. And OMG… yours is one of the very best. Perfect editing and the setting is magic. Just want to let you know I enjoy following you guys. You’re creating magical moments for me. Thank you !!!
