Where have we been?

[@flyingthenest]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Just a little update video from us to you - we're planning out 2025 please help us :)

[@LauraOrtiz344]

Please come visit Puerto Rico! There's so many places around the island to visit. My town has an orange festival but it's in march so it's coming quick.

[@bucketslash11]

Jess, you have birthday on the 17th of may? (using a previous video as reference) why not come to Norway on that same day as our constitutional day is the 17th of may? i live on the eastern side of Norway which is not a spectacular as western side but there are some spots here i'm also surprised you haven't done a longer segment on Spain (the vacationing country in Europe) and/or Canary Islands

[@emilybutler1755]

Go to china! 😊

[@AAAAYYY888]

[@lisamurden243]

Loved it… as a long time viewer and a HUGE Disney fan, seeing Hunter go on Slinky Dog had me dabbing away tears. Just beautiful. I hope to do exactly the same with my grandkids soon as they are just a tiny bit younger than Hunter. Glad you had a wonderful break , Cheers, Lisa 🙂

[@cakeithley]

Awe Harper’s hand popping up on the slinky ride, is the most precious in the moment thing I’ve ever seen! Her eyes say it all, great job parents! Happy New Year! 🎉

[@koreankid1011]

Happy 30th Birthday Cleo!!!!! I love the Flying the Nest Family so much

[@flyingthenest]

Thank you!!

[@Lyricoflife1084]

It is absolutely amazing to see your little family enjoy so many different things! But, with that being said... Hunter and Koa bean are my highlights! 🥰 The joy and excitement on their little faces just warm my heart! Steven and Jess are seriously the coolest parents ever! Watching your little ones grow is just so unreal! They're growing up way too fast! I just love your family and I feel like I am a part of it all! I'm permanently disabled with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and I live vicariously through all of your traveling endeavors! 🥹 You guys bring so much joy to my heart! ❤ Much love from Pennsylvania USA! All of my love and prayers for safe travels to you all! P.S. I love seeing Cleo as well! She's so adorable and sweet! And a little cheeky! 😂❤

[@megankeast15]

There is nothing better than seeing the magic of Disney through a child's eyes 😍

[@mrscb5303]

Crying over watching this sweet little girl grow up. It’s a privilege to be allowed to experience these milestones with you Hunter. You are healing the world one heart at a time. 🥰 You too Koa, it fantastic to see you grow and change. Thank you my little Australian family, you bring me much needed joy and hope. 🧡🖤🧡🥰

[@boltonsrus1]

[@ourwanderingheartstv]

This is beautiful guys, Koa is really starting to shine with his little personality and Hunter is just clever and so curious as always. Loved seeing what you guys have been up to and I am excited to see what's next xx

[@ab7636]

I had a pretty stressful day, but watching Hunter being so brave and then absolutely loving the slinky dog ride was everything I needed. I'm grinning from ear to ear. What a little champion!

[@katielemos8590]

I live in Orlando. My husband works for Disney. We go to the parks all the time. I’m not going to lie, it’s lost a bit of the magic. However, our favorite thing is watching other people experience the parks for the first time. This video reminded me why the parks are so special.

[@flyingthenest]

aww yes we totally understand! even after we visit it too much we need a little break to make sure the magic is still there! you guys been on the Disney Cruises?

[@twinkhel]

Oh what an amazing holiday! ❤ I can’t help but smile while watching and enjoying your new upload, and mostly because I miss watching all of you! Happy Birthday Chleo!🎉🎉🎉

[@flyingthenest]

[@bucketslash11]

Hunter has become much braver on the roller-coasters, love to see it

[@flyingthenest]

hehe it makes us so happy

[@dominika85]

It actually made me quite emotional, how Hunter on Slinky ride first was clinging to Steven, than put one arm in the air and finished the ride with both hands up. And than went on the ride AGAIN and not with parent or Cleo. Jess, were you crying?
