Great job Elijah! You are a super responsible young man in taking the lead and taking care of your siblings during this trip. You also have great vlog skills. Kudos to Naomi, Noah, Chloe, and Anna for also being super responsible and respecting big brother. All of you are just fantastic young people!

[@audreyannelanfranchi6642]

Amber and family, sincere condolences on the loss of your precious grandma…. Elijah you did a wonderful job with travel, filming and watching out for your siblings. Looks like you guys had a nice visit and I’m sure that your grandparents enjoyed spending time with you all…. Thank you for sharing your adventures ❤

[@tamariafetzer2209]

They had a fabulous time!!! This is a great video. Petco Park is spectacular! Thank you for taking us along to that Padres game! Coronado Bay is so beautiful, that looked like a great day too!! Thank you to Elijah (and Noah- H&S) for faithfully documenting the experience. It's good they got to see grandparents and family before the school commitments begin. Cousin Andrea is a very wonderful person!

[@robbynburris3780]

The whole turn of events that having to go back and forth to the airport that canceled trips and what not oh my goodness all I can say is Elijah you have mastered adulting..... Bravo young Sir!!!!!

[@janicefigueroa4655]

Such a beautiful family, kids are so independent and well behaved. Congratulations to the parents. Lots of blessings to this family!🎉

[@leighscott1877]

Good job kids ! Your fearless leader did a fantastic job !!!

[@tribalwoman138]

I'm happy to see the family finally made it to their destination and that they all had a great time. Thank you, Elijah, for the video, you did a great job with everything. be proud of yourself.

[@melissawingfield8666]

I'm sorry for your loss 🙏❤ The kids are pro's now, getting to and around the airport! And third time is a charm 🍀 ... so glad they got there and back home safe!

[@talonsaerie]

The only people complaining about these kids taking a journey on new york city streets early morning are either not from new york city or they are jealous and in awe that tgese kids have the common sense and know how and ability to work together to handle this situation... I grew up in NYC and i was taking buses and subways on my own at age 8 ! The neighborhood/locals get to know the kids living in each neighborhood maybe not by name but by sight and let me tell you they take great pride in watching over everybodies children even at 5 am in the morning ! Switching trains in new jersey was the only scary part but since they all cooperate and stay together they we're safe enough.. I live in upstate new york and up here you dont just have to watch out for scary people the bears and coyotes and mountain lions are very dangerous and the rabid ra oons too ! Honestly the most dangerous residents in NYC are the loose dogs 🐕! Good job momma and poppa bear 🐻! Great job kids who are more mature than most kids their ages !

[@charlottehyman8146]

Elijah is amazing! So mature and responsible and the siblings get along so well and can be on their own. Amber and Mark you have done the best job raising your children. How many siblings could be sent away and not fight with each other.

[@iknowlinda]

I've been patiently waiting for the next episode! I'm impressed with your kids independence!

[@Pinkkermit17]

I am also impressed but a bit saddened by it,, surly someone could have taken them to the airport at least once in that big ole van. Oddly we been seeing less and less of mom.

[@TheRentVeil]

Elijah, you need to start your own channel, buddy. You’re really great at this-

[@margaret7120]

Maybe wait awhile. It is a big commitment and you always have to provide new content. Enjoy your life as it is. 🇨🇦🍁

[@TheRentVeil]

@@margaret7120 Who said you ALWAYS have to provide new content? You establish credit when young so you are in a position to benefit from a long established history when at the age you need it. If he creates a channel now, he can build a slow solid foundation.

[@robynfedalen1777]

Glad you guys finally made it to to visit grandma and grandpa ❤️✌🏻

[@MaureenDrees]

I’m so glad that your trip to San Diego finally worked out. I’m sorry for the loss of your grandmother and great-grandmother. It was neat that the kids got to stay in her house and enjoy the memories of time that they had spent there with her.

[@michellewilson4815]

So great you, finally got to see your grandparents. Looks like you, had such a great. Glad your cousin Andrea was able to take you to BB game, and we're able to enjoy some wonderful snacks. Loved how you, played all the fun games from the 80's.

[@TaraGaffney]

Looks like an amazing trip! Well done Elijah, you looked after everyone like a pro! Between you and Naomi your wisdom and responsibility is something your parents I'm sure are so proud of! ❤🙏🏻

[@marilouo4321]

I am an airline employee. It was good that you chose an early morning flight. There is less chance of delays and cancelations in the morning. So sorry for your bad experiences from your previous cancelations.

[@fredseeley4996]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO!! I WAS SO, SO EXCITED THAT YOUR GROUP OF FIVE FINALLY SUCCESSFULLY MADE THE TRIP FROM NYC TO SAN DIEGO. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE TRAUMA YOU HAD TO ENDURE BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY EMBARKED ON YOUR TRIP!! YOUR GROUP OF FIVE HAD FAR MORE STAMINA THAN I COULD EVER HAVE GONE THROUGH TO FINALLY MAKE IT TO YOUR DESTINATION!! I'M SO GLAD YOU WERE ANLE TO ENJOY YOUR VACATION WITH EXTENDED FAMILY BEFORE YOUR SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS! THANKS FOR SHARING!!

[@temdasarah]

such a sweet & beautiful watch! thank you

[@debraridpath5674]

Love seeing these kids being so independent. Elijah is an amazing big brother! He has one a great job caring for his siblings!

[@whatchaseehoppy]

So glad everything worked out this time Elijah did so well for being the grown up in charge and the other four were all so well behaved and cooperative. Amber and Mark are definitely doing things right as parents!

[@maureenhammond3369]

Really enjoyed the video! Elijah did a great job with it. Such good kids.

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Better early than late. As you have learned all kinds of things can delay you. God bless!!

[@Jessica-f3z]

Congrats on raising self sufficient children! Elijah did a fantastic job navigating the trip. The only way children grow is by experiences like this. 😊

[@melissawingfield8666]

Elijah did excellent video recording! Thank you!

Hi guys😊glad you had a lovely holiday 🤗good job with the vlogging elijah 👍

[@julietchu7008]

Loving the matching shirts!! And as someone who is chronically late, better early than late - more power to you if you can do it!!!

[@caroldenisefrans9445]

The sunrise was magnificent🎉

[@jiffy20769]

It was the kids discovering the ancient game of Candyland from 1984 that did it for me 😂😂😂 I’m so glad they discovered such an iconic game!

[@margaret7120]

I played Candyland when I was a kid and I’m 63. 🇨🇦🍁

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Ironically enough, it wasn’t 1984. It was 1948. Google it.

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Suggestion: Swimming is a life saving skill. Maybe a family membership at the Y for a family Christmas gift and swim lessons there? Glad you enjoyed your trip. Thanks for sharing. God bless!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! I had the kids take a swimming class at the Y before but it didn’t really stick. I’ve been careful about the water (at least for Elijah) because Elijah has had a hole in his eardrum that wouldn’t close even with surgery and water was problematic.

[@mustlovedogs5569]

But he can fly fine with a hole in eardrum?? Flying is far more dangerous for eardrums. Swimming is a vital life skill. Lessons need to happen. The kids can’t become adults who can’t swim, because when they have kids or are anywhere near water it is a danger!

[@gabrielleholloway9609]

@@mustlovedogs5569maybe give the instruments a break to focus on some swim classes! It really bothers me they are forced to all play and perform

[@ParisI89]

My 7 year old son has been having lessons for 1 year now and absolutely loves it, I think it’s an important life skill as well as being fun and a great form of exercise!

[@theworldtraveler83]

I live in San Diego. In the Little Italy area. I’m glad you guys enjoyed your trip. I love all your videos. So sweet and wholesome. ❤

[@Melissaiskind]

So very sorry for the loss of your precious grandmother❤ Your family is amazing and Elijah has so much charisma.

[@dhauxhurst]

You guys have that trek down pat now after so many attempts to go on vacation! Most people complain about just walking around the airport! Hope you all had a great time in California!

[@sophiesliskovic212]

Swimming lessons is life saving- we learn from 6 months of age in Australia and learn in school You can find individual lessons or private lessons! There are also homeschool swimming lessons too!

[@naomihartman6623]

Well done Elijah u did a great job taking care of everyone looks like u had a really good party
