Thank you!

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I’m sorry it’s not letting me comment but I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience in Hawaii. It was awesome to see all the sights of the Big island which I will never get to. I really appreciate all your work in videos of your travels. Thank you so much.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDEO POSTS! Never been to Hawaii so this was a fun trip to travel with you 😊

[@IrisAugustHill]

Janene, your laughter and squealing under water with the Manta Rays made my whole morning. Thanks for the dose of joy!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@theMennoniteMom]

🤣 I literally can't shut up. Even with my mouth I'm a snorkel. 🤣 they were scaring me (In a good way)

[@stillyourb]

Your footage just gets better and better and you somehow still manage to keep it real, thanks for taking us along!!! I thoroughly enjoyed the final outtake😂

[@theMennoniteMom]

😅 well thank you. I do enjoy documenting travel videos. Thank you for the encouragement 😀

[@bobanddaly]

Lovely and breath taking!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Wow and Wow!!!!!

[@dianefuchs5700]

What wonderful memories for your children.I love seeing families enjoying adventures.

[@momH]

You guys are so fun and real ! I love how you post stuff that’s just normal life ! Such a sweet dad to sit at the small table with his daughter. How special she must feel ! You did so well to get awesome footage! ….blessings to you all !

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you so much!!

[@ginger1549]

I just love travelling with you guys. Thank you for taking us on this trip with you.

[@theMennoniteMom]

thanks so much! love having you along! 😀😀

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Lexie probably won't remember much from all the trips you take but Xander will never forget them! Just amazing!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Yes it makes me sad that she won't remember. However, at least I won't forget. It is special to have your children with you even if it slows things down.

[@ConservativeVeteran]

@@theMennoniteMom Agree...and she can always view your excellent videos!

[@jonirennirt2391]

WOW!!!!!! 😳 I said it before and I'll say it again. You all are sooo brave!!!!!💕💕

[@theMennoniteMom]

😀 I don't know... maybe?

[@whyme7400]

You are so adventurous and brave! I was afraid just watching you from the safety of my chair! Good for Xander-what a brave little boy. Lexi still amazes me with her running ability. I can picture her running in the Olympics as an adult. Sorry she got sick on the trip but am glad everything ended up well and everyone had an amazing time.

[@vernaoyer295]

Wonderful photography, Jeannine! Thanks for the beautiful views and sharing these gorgeous Islands.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Hey thank you, Verna. I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@63Littlemouse]

Absolutely love your travel vlogs, beautifully captured & narrated 🥰 Wow swimming with Mantra rays amazing but so very brave 😊

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you! Travel vlogs are my passion. Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@degibb10]

I love your travel vlogs! You guys are so good at it and you capture it all beautifully.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you so much!

[@KathyFry-n5r]

I have never seen so much of Hawaii and it was just gorgeous! Thank you so much! I must say your night excursion looked terrifying, you were all very brave.

[@theMennoniteMom]

I'm glad you enjoyed the scenery. It's truly fascinating how it changes so much

[@addiekeen7219]

Oh what a wonderful vacation. And so many memories with your children.❤️🙏🏻

[@lindao1327]

I enjoy all your videos, but this one goes right to the top! Beautiful photography and music. ❤

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you so much! 😀

[@larsonanne]

Fantastic travelogue of a state I'll likely never see, but especially not the nighttime manta ray adventure. You captured it all so well!

[@peterwhite9261]

I remember traveling with small children. Can be challenging at times, especially if they are sick. This was a beautiful vlog. The mantas were awesome. ❤

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you! Yes, it can be a challenge for sure

[@SusanAylor-k5p]

Traveling takes so much out of you. Especially with children. You learn all kinds of new ‘words’ Love to your entire family ❤❤.

[@theMennoniteMom]

It is a big undertaking but so worth it

[@Karenm1969]

Thanks for sharing your trip! I personally enjoyed the manta ray experience….you are so lucky to have been able to do that. From watching your video; i feel like i was there with you!

[@theMennoniteMom]

It was a great birthday gift 😀 thanks for coming along!

[@crystalpowers5648]

Your videos are fantastic! Thank you for the experience 😊❤

[@debihurd9801]

Thanks for sharing your vacation with us. Your narratives are always so educational as well as entertaining! Love them!!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you!

[@shadegarden7375]

The black sand!! 😃❤️

[@dianamarsden1933]

So beautiful! I know I will never get there, but through your eyes I see the sites and beauty of the land. You really should be a travel blogger!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you. It is my passion, and would be fun to be able to make it a channel. But, that's not our life... and I do love my home 😀

[@sallycroft2191]

Beautiful videography with your personal touch. I visited the Big Island a few years ago. I arrived in Kona and then stayed with cousin just outside of Hilo. I was fascinated by the different areas of The island and the volcano debris. We went up to the volcano and was so surprised when it erupted a few weeks later. My cousin was on stand-by evacuation. A number of their friends lost their homes. I wish I had heard of swimming with manta rays.What an experience.!!!!

[@laurenalcala4253]

Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing your trip to Hawaii!!

[@DJWhitmore74]

Wow! This was so much fun, thank you for sharing this with us. Amazing!

What an amazing post!!!!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thanks so much!

[@shelleyanne3522]

Yes definitely enjoyed watching your video. The black sand looked unusual.

[@rosemaryharris6064]

Another lovely trip to add to the many, many others you've been blessed to take.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Yes. We are blessed. Thanks to credit card point hacking. 😀 we wouldn't have been able to do a fraction of them without the miles and points game

[@carolwagner4592]

Awesome viseo!! Thanks for sharing.

[@Shelpacemar]

Amazing! That you for sharing.

[@ozarkview928]

So stunningly beautiful! You will not find me snorkeling! That first snorkel you did looked like a snake 😮 that would have shot me out of the water ! But the fish were cute !

[@theMennoniteMom]

It was an eel 😀 was a bit creepy lol

[@shadegarden7375]

WOW!!👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😃

[@dianebondhus9355]

Awesome video! I'm glad you had such a fun, exciting experience. 😄🩷

[@SmallWonda]

My goodness that was a LOT to cram in with 2-kids - even by my standards, that's a lot of sight-seeing! You'll definitely have to return and linger are some of those special spots, and I bet there's more, too, that you didn't see. The kids are lucky to travel while they can - wonderful education! Cheers, guys!

[@wilmawagler5058]

A lot of familiar things.We also liked the Kona Coffee tour and the poke was pretty terrible. I’m thinking we did the same 3 islands. Looking forward to the next one.

[@deannabrock5951]

Janeen your a lot braver than I’d ever be 😝

[@theMennoniteMom]

😅 I think you'd surprise yourself

[@letitiamartin9234]

Your outtake at the end 😂 and yes I am enjoying this series. So pretty. I love the diversity in the landscape. Those views on top of that mountain were stunning. 😍

[@theMennoniteMom]

😅 thank you. I'm glad you enjoy coming with us!

[@Gma2dando]

Stunning!

[@prestonfortin9419]

You are so brave!!!!

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Fun video! The manta rays were incredible! I hope Sweet Lexi is feeling better. Thanks for sharing your trip. Love your channel!❤

[@theMennoniteMom]

thank you! Yes, the Mantas were incredible. In real life they took your breath away. Lexi is doing quite well. thanks for being here!

[@gloriamedina6908]

Well, that was an amazing part two of Hawaii my daughter did not do all that but it’s so true like you said it just feels like another country so to say . my daughter said doesn’t feel like it’s in the United States but it is great awesome video thank you for sharing

[@theMennoniteMom]

So true. It feels like another country. So neat your daughter got to go

[@gloriamedina6908]

@@theMennoniteMom thank you

[@ValerieJohnson-q1x]

Xander is a very brave, courageous boy, good job.

[@csiesel1]

I would love to see how you got so many pictures with your drone. I enjoyed our vacation,😊

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you. Some of those that look like a drone of a 360 camera on a 9 ft stick. It erases the stick. 😀

[@andreaschumacher9901]

thanks for the video. been to Hawaii in 2003 in Big Island. The most impressive thing was to go to the lava fields.

[@theMennoniteMom]

I agree. It's such an other worldly experience. Feels like another planet.

[@emilyhoover3411]

I literally started feeling sick on the mountain and sea sick for you..🤢 i went to pikes peak this summer, so i know what you're talking about😅 can't wait for the Maui vlog!!! We went there for our honeymoon 29 years ago. It'll be interesting to see if I recognize anything! Thanks for sharing!❤❤❤

[@theMennoniteMom]

It is a weird feeling isn't it?! Hey, that's great you were in Maui. You should go again for your 30th 😀

[@GoFishOffice]

This is was so much fun! Btw I am an April baby too 😊

[@theMennoniteMom]

Hey, fellow Apriler 😁

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Thanks!

[@kindnessmatters4068]

It's not much, but the like button didn't do justice for how much fun and how lovely this video is!! 😊❤ maybe it will buy Xander and Alexi an ice cream cone... 🤪

[@theMennoniteMom]

@@kindnessmatters4068 oh my word, thank you! You definitely didn't need to do that, but it means a lot that you enjoyed the video. I will treat the kids to an Ice cream 😀😀 thanks for blessing us!

[@kindnessmatters4068]

​@theMennoniteMom you're welcome! 😊❤ a lot of work goes into what you did in this video!! $5 isn't much at all!!

[@thefehrs]

Thank you for taking us along on your vocation. ❤ It looks so fun, I hope to one day go to Hawaii 🌺 May I ask what you were using to videoing, the long stick of sorts?

[@theMennoniteMom]

I hope you can! Yes, it's the insta 360 it's a 360 camera on a pole that it erases in software

[@thefehrs]

@@theMennoniteMom thank you 😊

The main thing in those heights is to walk really slow and don’t be turning your head to look back.

[@RepentAndBelieve1437]

Would you ever move to Hawaii? So beautiful there! Enjoying your videos 💕 Edit: ohh my gosh Xander ❤❤❤ as a mommy I wanted to cry😂 my goodness what an experience! Glad you all had fun together as a family🙌🏼

[@theMennoniteMom]

I guess if we felt God leading us there. I would enjoy it, but I do love my seasons

That song is just beautiful at minute 17:00. Could you pass on the name of the artist and the song. Thank you

[@CRouse-ok5tz]

Amazing footage but your child was terrified. May have been a little young for this manta ray experience. Isn't that what killed the Crocodile Hunter?

[@TracyeKlassen]

My dream is to go to Hawaii before I pass away

[@theMennoniteMom]

I hope you can go! It's so pretty 😀

Wow, what a beautiful journey. I would like to meet you someday and tell you about my sheltered life. SMILE!
