    Nah!! Family and trips back to Hawaii will be so good for you!! I had a very happy childhood with 3 Grandparents and 20 first cousins and a brother and a sister. The food my grandmothers made was out of this world. The memories are as clear today in my 60s as they were the daily happened, smells and sights, and sounds all are there give me happiness, and I have a feeling that is what will happen to Jack and Sunny. Nothing can replace happy memories of family nothing.

I moved about eight times with my two boys who are 15 months apart, it can be pretty crazy!🤪 you guys are going to have such a great time in Australia! And when you guys get home to Utah, you’re going to be starting an incredible new chapter in your life! I know it’s going to be so different compared to Hawaii, just remember this… You have a Lotta friends in Hawaii, you can always go back and visit as much as you want! Once your kids get into school, along with all of your friends kids, it’s going to be so hard to see each other as much as you used to. Because the kids will have new friends from their class, sports, dance, and all sorts of activities! So now, when you go out to visit Hawaii, it will be extra special!😊❤️
    I am a 57-year-old mom who misses her sons dearly! They are in their late 20s living their lives the way they’re supposed to be. I’m hoping once they have kids they will realize that I’m not gonna be around for forever. So hopefully we will do more family stuff together! I am sure that your parents are so excited to have you coming back home to live!! Now they can watch their grandchildren grow up and babysit and all the fun things that grandparents want to do! Everything will work out exactly the way it supposed to. I love you guys, you always make my heart smile! Thanks for sharing all that you do! I’m sending big hugs and kisses to Jack and sunny and hugs to you guys! Enjoy Australia mates!! Lol 😂 😀❤️🦘🌊🏄🏼‍♂️☀️

    You all are Champs. Traveling with kids is never easy. We had a similar experience 6 months ago. My husband got a job in the states, where we are from, but we we're living in Taiwan for the past three years. His new job gave him two weeks to start. So we had to pack up and leave within 10 days. When we got to the airport my husband's Visa had some issues and he had to stay behind. At the time I was eight months pregnant and we had five children, the oldest being nine. Because of how quick we had to leave we did not buy refundable tickets. So I took a 27 hour journey by myself and 5 kids. It was a nightmare and would not do it again if I had a choice. I'm just glad you all had someone to help. We had many people helped me on the way but it was for separate flights. Thankfully we only had carry-on items so I did not have to check in any luggage at each location.

    I'm so glad you guys are loving it here. It's honestly the best place in the world. I probably wouldn't have chosen the gold Coast but each to their own. Make sure you make at least a day trip down to Byron Bay. You'll love it!! Good surf too. Have fun guys.

    So happy you guys did so well with 24 hour travel. Insanity! Sounds like the kids did amazing! I only braved a 4 hour direct flight alone with a 5 and 2 year old. They were awesome and we couldn’t have been more proud of how well they did!
    PARENT PRO TIP: Get Jack “Color Magic” markers & coloring books! Every color of marker is clear tipped and only deposits color on the special paper. Will save you SO much time & trouble cleaning marker off of children and everything else. If you want them to use regular markers always pay the extra and get the washable markers. They come off of everything and everyone so much easier than the regular ones.

      @@kelliwillis417 Sounds like you didn't have a good experience with them. Both of my kids over the years had probably every Color Magic book and marker that they made at the time. While I do agree that the colors don't look exactly like Crayola, the ones they had were very bright. Even the pastel ones I thought looked nice. We even had the glitter ones lol I thought they lasted a long time. Also, thinking about the “user”, they're probably not comparing and they most likely don't care. I wouldn't trade my peace of mind knowing the markers wouldn't get on anyone or anything, especially when using them while traveling and visiting others, for a different kind. Definitely when not at home. And it's not an all-or-nothing situation. They had washable Crayola and many other art supplies.
      I wouldn't be quick to assume that relatively new parents know everything that came out in the last 5-15 years etc. It never hurts to pass on something that worked for you in the hopes that it will be of use to someone else. I saw Jack coloring and that light-colored couch and my “Mommy antenna” started beeping lol And, kids seem to like the “magic” of it let's not forget. There’s always room for more magic in the world. 🪄

You guys will do great! Enjoy Australia, I might have missed it, but how long are you guys staying in Australia?

    So glad you made it safe!! We travel to New Zealand and AUS every couple years to see family and this past October we took my 10 month old and I was so nervous but I was so surprised how well he did on the plane! The long plane (woo) rides are tough for the little ones and running it out is definitely the best. When we came back to the states, we let my son actually run all the way to customs and we took our time going to customs and it helped so much! Not only did he get his energy out, but the line was much smaller than right after we got off the plane. Have the best time in AUS!

    What great memories y’all are making and the kids will have all the blogs.
    On my 7th birthday, we flew from San Antonio, Texas to Taipei, Taiwan. My older sister was 9, younger sister 2 and mom was 7 months pregnant. We had lay overs in Seattle, Washington and Tokyo, Japan. We flew back to San Antonio, Texas 2 years later. My Dad had pneumonia after our household was packed up and shipped so we spent about 2 weeks in a hotel. We spent about a week as a layover in Seattle, Washington so it took almost a month from house to house. I don’t know how my folks did it!
    Love y’all, Derek, Sarah, Jack and Sunny! Have so much fun. ❤
