    I obviously filmed this before I decided not to say baby's name 😂 I have to come up with a nickname soon! Any ideas? If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the last video ruclips.net/video/aXrfSpGDnn0/видео.html

    It actually blows my mind that those videos were 6 years ago! I remember watching them as they were released and dreaming about going to New Zealand :) So fun to get to see y'all go back.

    Hi Mari, love all the scenery there. I managed to visit New Zealand five times during the 1970's, but unfortunately, I never managed to visit either Te Anau, Milford Sound or even Queenstown. Hence, it was great seeing it all on this video. Anyway, wishing you the very best. Rob in Melbourne Australia.

    So great to see you’re all doing well and enjoying life as it is and still be able to do little raodtrips. Seeing this all again bringing back happy throwbacks on memorylane. I’ve been to TeAnau and Routeburn and also Milford track and Sound. Feels so good to see this all again, thanks a lot for this!! Hope to see NZ again in the near future, stay safe and healthy!

    Very nostalgic video, love the road footage makes me homesick - enjoying your videos. Make the most of travelling without heaps of tourists, I know I am here in Victoria, Australia, and recently in Tasmania no tourist buses ,yay! It won't last so get out out there. Also videos th a t people want to see from you guys I guess are exactly what your doing- how to travel and do your hiking with kids.

    Nice seeing the Homer tunnel again and Milford sound again .But different weather when I was there year's ago. Was poring rain after doing the Milford track and couldn't see the top of Miter peak.

    Hi Mari!! I love it there!! What a great area to escape for a little while. Beautiful in Autumn!! So good to see you back doing what you do soo well! Lovely to see your wee man again!! The holiday park has lovely little chalets and apartments overlooking the lake. Me, myself and I and my Sprinter stay there in their powered site. Enjoy your breaks whenever you manage to get them!! Take care out there!! 💌👍🏼🙋‍♀️ 🕊 🚐 🌏

One of them that I know of was on Dyana Carmella's channel, but yea NZ looks like one of the best food tour places ever. Kind of reminds me of Seattle's food scene but with way nicer weather😂

    i appreciate that you guys prioritize protecting Baby's privacy. i struggle with this in my vlogs how much of my daughter's life to put online, especially since she's so young and doesn't really have a vote in the matter. it's a strong consideration for parents. anyway, good to see you guys!
