Could Have Been Worse

[@DaniLasdfghjkl]

Idk why that clip 12:00 in slow-mo of Priscilla just full on enjoying herself made me tear up a bit, it's so nice to see people truly enjoying life at the moment

[@nunyabeeswax3112]

I stumbled upon your channel by accident, and began watching quite a few of your videos. I find them quite interesting. I never knew much about autism, just what I see in the movies occasionally. I've learned a lot more about it now. Thanks You're blessed with a nice family, a nice home and even a boat. Your daughter is very fortunate to have such a very loving family to look after her and her special needs. She may not often show it, but I think she knows you all love her and loves you too.

[@OCTAViAxDENA]

The joy on priscillas face made me feel so happy and warm! Priscilla your smile and the light that shine in you could brighten the darkest of days❤️ appreciate you guys so much

[@ldycaithadh]

You guys are so awesome. Thank you for sharing your day with me.

[@beautybleu4954]

This helped me so much today. Was struggling these past few days with my mental healthy, and needed this pep talk. Love you like crazy Maass’

I’m SO impressed with the air compressor and temp patch! NOICE job Asa!✨

[@melaniekeckler1630]

Y'all are such a loving and happy family

[@lmart77lm]

You said it... Santa’s sleigh with dolphins pulling it. I love it!! Can’t wait to see it. I love how Jacksonville does the boats and lights. So festive!

[@kimdekenipp8671]

All it ever takes for Abby to feel safe is her hero, her dad.

[@teresamariner4238]

Was just thinking the same thing! Dad gives her strength.

[@heatherjunker967]

Yep, He was the one she wanted to help her get on the boat.

[@LOVEJOYANDCHAOS]

Love this video! Great example of staying positive and just going forward with the activity despite circumstances and feelings. Loved Cilla's jokes and smiles today! Have a blessed day, we are praying for you!

[@ladonna1902]

@9:30 The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed, if not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost... When it started raining, it reminded me of when the storm happened in the intro on Gilligan's Island.

[@desereeballentineaustinbla6402]

How beautiful awsome out of this world thank you so much for this video it sure made my Holidays especally Christmas Thanks 😀😀😀😷😷😷

At 4:54 when you say “oh it’s Jesus” I died laughing! It was the way you said Jesus 🤣 even after a tough day of live and remote teaching with my special ed kids, you guys make me laugh!! Thank you for always making my day!

[@kaycandy79]

Love the look on Abby's face at 13:06. It's like she not impressed with the fireworks. As if she saying with her face they can do better kinda look. She is so sweet. Also got a great LAUGH outta the slip-up with the flip-flops on. Welcome to the club I've done the same.

[@elleck3542]

Abbie & Kaidale did such an amazing job!! I love how much Priscilla gets into the Christmas spirit. You guys remind me so much of my partner and I. He can be a grinch and I just love Christmas and celebrating things.

[@paulasmith5735]

Goodness. I just LOVE you all x

[@victoriashaw124]

I love Cilla’s upbeat positivity .. I’m a real grump a lot of the time and I envy all that PMA that she has going on 🥰 Well done to all of you on making what could have been a disastrous day into a great one.

[@autismwithgrace3551]

Wow what a tough day, but a wonderful end. Loved seeing you guys have so much fun.. lights were beautiful.

[@britty9465]

This vlog made me so happy! I live on a 47ft motor timber cruiser in Australia. We chose life on the water instead of renting/buying another house best decision of our lives. So much fun and adventure, I’m so glad your family and friends have the opportunity to experience boating

[@Joycer2002]

You had a child leaning over the back of your boat unseated while you were driving the boat and get this - he had no life jacket on and nor did you. As the captain of your boat at least one adult should have one on to be ready for an emergency and all underage children should be wearing one. Even with the storm you failed to have everyone wear a life vest. You may feel safe in a big boat but be prepared for the worst.

[@mummabeemade8591]

Aww this is the sweetest. My family don’t do anything like this. Last year I gave birth extremely prematurely at 23 weeks to my Son. He had a bleed on the brain which means he may have some leaning and behaviour difficulties as he grows older. It’s my goal to be as loving and involved as your whole family for my son. I don’t even know how your videos came up on my recommended feed, but I’m so glad they did. 🥰

[@fieldysgrl98]

[@dikoehler4255]

In the end it all worked out and what happened. You made another memory. 🧩🎄✌

[@sophiejay2930]

Maybe get a few golf umbrellas (they are huge) and maybe stash blankets and dry clothes on the boat?

[@evelynmurphy7452]

Looked like you all had such a great time 🙌✨

Am so glad you guys had a great day :) I know the feeling of being on the water as when i was growing up in Melbourne , Australia , we had a 28 footer racing boat ( sail boat ) named Jester and my job was to bring in the washing but i learnt alot about sailing and the seas and to wee in a bucket because lighter the better . I am a member of St. Kilda Royal Yacht Squadron at St Kilda pier. Love your vlogs and Asa please get tyre fixed asap . Maybe Cil can relate to me because i hate changing tyres and would rather wait for roadside assist for an hour lol. And to Asa >>> In Australia i have never ever heard the your name before and checked it out on Google and your name means Healer of Physician. Suits you to a tee : )

I can only imagine the ideas running through your heads for next years parade. Well done for the first year though. Sad about the weather but Abbie and Kaydell did great. I also agree with another poster. Extra dry clothes and blankets on standby in the boat for emergencies. Lastly I think Abbie could have taken or left the fireworks. She was like , meh they are okay.

Like I visit all the same places y’all do and I go out to where that dock is all the time😂 my girlfriend and I rode the river taxi a couple months ago at sunset. But I still think it’s crazy bc we live in the same city and generally the same places but we’ve never run into each other 😂

[@Tuckerett]

Oh Asa that is a terrible situation. That happen to me in my house with cat 💩at 3am a couple weeks ago. I immediately took my self to the restroom to clean up. 3am showers are not relaxing but to make it 100% worse I had dry heaves the entire time trying to get it off, waking up the entire house. A fresh poo got flung out of the box and I stepped in it. I totally know that feeling. Your day did improve to a fun time I see!!!

[@shernsavshernsav2016]

Maybe start watching the marine forecast. And get a huge map .nice one framed . Helps when your from around water.......js

[@sarahsmart3414]

Asa "everything's going great this far"...then the down pour, it was hard not to laugh haha. Murphy's Law...only in Florida can it sporadically rain then be beautiful outside 5 minutes later. looks like in the end it turned out to be a great time !!! Cilla had a blast, love it!!!

[@TheAngelsMommie]

My two pet peeves are people that misrepresent their dog as a service dog and my second pet peeve is people that don't clean up behind their dogs that is so frustrating to me. When you mention that Kaitlyn went and picked up chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A it just reminded me that where I live are very first Chick-fil-A opened today and it could only do drive-through and people were waiting from 4 p.m. yesterday afternoon but I am so glad that we now have a Chick-fil-A where I live because I grew up eating Chick-fil-A on the East Coast and the best part about Chick-fil-A is I used to work there and I got to be the mascot
