I can't wait to see what you guys do in Hawaii 😊
That was awesome and at the age of 52 soon to be 53 on the 11th. I have never been on a plane. I travel but have never conquered that fear of heights. So proud of the kids. Question, were you nervous to leave your camera up the escalator stairs in order to get the shot of the family going up together🤷🏾♂️🤔
@@betbaker3479 that would be so cool...for sure.
I think I might know where you guys went. Not being creepy. Not spilling the tea/beans. Hope it was awesome. I will share my info if you would like privately. Love your family videos and adventures. Wish I could find some peace (land) for me (disabled widow, BC survivor) and my autistic son. Still fighting for funding for him. I would look into thrive but can’t do it financially.
I love what you do for others. It means so much to see people helping others. Much love!!!
I most definitely be watching 👀
As a retired Commercial pilot, this one really was special for me. Pre 9/11, I used to love letting the kids come up front and see the flight deck. It always made them feel better when they got to meet the pilots. Thank you for sharing guys and enjoy your vacation!! As always, sending love from our acreage to yours.
This is one of my favorite memories. My family used to fly from Sacramento to Los Angeles many times as a kid and I loved seeing each other off at the boarding gate, meeting the pilot, and even walk up and down the aisle passing out the bags of peanuts. We got huge bags of leftover nuts at the end of the flight. Better times all together.
Wow that sounds amazing, wish I was around during those times
Yes the good old days before we lost so much.
Seem to remember something about “those who give up freedom for safety deserve neither.”
I remember being able to walk up to the terminal and watching my mom board the plane. My how things have changed in the years.
i remember doing that as a kid in the 80s
I live in the UK and started my career as a flight attendant for a major UK airline in 1985.
37 years later I’m still flying for them and have travelled the world.
When you do something a lot it can make you take things for granted and you can become jaded.
Seeing your childrens joy on their first flight reminded me of how special and exciting airline travel can be
Thank you
The little ones throwing up their hands like they're on a roller coaster and Kera saying it was her best day ever ! I just love them sweet kids !
They are so adorable 😍
I second that " emotion"...
Awesome little folks,indeed!! 👍!!
Lovely to see kids that are so grounded to be excited with new experiences
Seeing new things through the eyes of children made me feel younger for a moment.
❤️
Watching their reactions to their first flight actually made me cry. You guys are great.
❤️
Love the kids's take on flying. Kira is so cute! "This is the best day ever!" 🤣
I can't wait to see the rest of the trip! It's going to be so fun to see what all y'all did while there!
Thank you, she's such an enthusiastic little thing!
HI PAULLA!
@@relumpp1948 - Hey there, Richard!
I remember my first ever flight to visit my sister in Spokane, WA. I hadn't taken into consideration the altitude difference and felt nauseous most of my time while there. It was only years later that I realized what I had been suffering with (apart from a mild sprained ankle) and my sister and I had a good laugh remembering. Now when I fly, my favorite part is the take off - that moment when the plane lets go of the attraction that keeps it glued to the surface of the runway and suddenly we balance this wonderful machine in the air! The climb to the skies is my 2nd love as I get to slice through the fluffy, white stuff called clouds. When clearing the layer of clouds and discovering the peaks and dips of the white "polyfill" clouds below the plane and the brightness of the sun above it. There's nothing like it. Instead of focusing on the fear of flying, I concentrate on the beauty of my surroundings and always pray for God to stretch his mantle of peace over the cabin, passengers and crew. I also pray that He will put a hedge of protection from every "point": nose, tail, wingtips, roof to belly and an angel on every moving and computer part that makes the machine fly. But most of all, I ask God to be the actions and reactions of the pilot and copilot for the utmost security. Putting my faith in Him means I need not be anxious about anything as He's got me. Hope that helps with your nervous children.
The kids reaction to the flight and the train was so cute! As a city girl I always have to remind myself that the things I do everyday is such a new and exciting experience for others. Thank you for sharing!! 😊
isn't it precious how the joy our children experience invigorates us? Love you all.💕 enjoy! 😊
I was a flight attendant at Sea tac and those trains are cool. I miss Seattle and sad to see what has become of it.
Great adventure! I can never get tired of seeing Mt Rainier from the air.
My heart is melting with all the excitement, nervousness and wonder the kids are expressing. 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fun to watch the kids expressions ! Have a great trip ! You guys have worked so hard...now relax!
Flying can be nerve-wracking, then having to rebook the flight, that's crazy 🤪. The reactions and enthusiasm on the kids faces is priceless, I love it. What a bummer about the bodyspray. I can't wait to see what you get to do on the rest of your trip. Safe travels.
Thank you!!
So beautiful that you could record their first flight. It is miraculous. A great memory.
This made me smile! So much fun watching the kids enjoy their first experience of flying and being on a train!!! Thank you for sharing!! Hope your trip was full of fun and blessings! :)
The look on the little ones face when he said we're going on a plane was priceless 😀❤
That explains the sickness you had on the live the other night, hope you are all feeling better and rested after your journey. Travelling can be so exhausting that you need a holiday after the travel to recover! 😅😊
Awe sweet angels. I have a fear of flying. I think Jeremy and Melissa are wonderful parents, so supportive during that flight. I've only been on an airplane twice in my 41 yrs of life. My stepdad was stationed in Oahu Hawaii so the trip there and back was it. I was pretty young. Honestly I think if I traveled with the Souzas, I could pull off flying again. Love you guys. Hope you had a wonderful time on your trip.
AMEN! They made "flying with four kids" look easy (though I know it wasnt) Such a wonderful family! Love them ❤
Hey the same for me I'm 63 and only flat I had was to Hawaii when I was young and back and that was it but I remember that flight it was nice going and coming thank God
I went there when I was young my step dad was stationary too in the '70s
I did the opposite of all of you, I did over a million miles in 2 years when working. I’m now retired and just travel for pleasure.
How fun! The reaction from the kids made me smile. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Your children smiles are just priceless. Fun family traveling times that you will remember forever.
The kids were great and so real about the flights and train ride. Precious expressions ❤. Have a great adventure, can’t wait to see it all, y’all deserve a beautiful trip!
My husband and I flew for work frequently. Our son flew for the first time at 4 years old. Since we did it so often, he didn't think anything of it. He's an adult now and flies internationally for work. As we were never amazed by the experience, I totally enjoyed seeing how your children experienced this. Also, I loved how they considered the airport people mover a "train." I hope they get to experience an actual train soon. It is unique. So fun to see traveling through fresh eyes. Of course one of the reasons I watch your channel is to see a life totally outside my own experience. Thank you for the work you do to post these.
Safe travels Melissa Jeremy and kids
It's so refreshing to see kids who are appreciative and accept new experiences. Quite different from the first time taking my step-grandchildren to Disney World for a week where they threw fits the entire time because one was missing a baseball game and the other didn't want to walk. They were 8 and 11.
I have a friend that took his two teen age grandsons to "see" the Grand Canyon and they had their faces buried in front of their phones the whole time. My grand niece and nephew and I were playing a game of UNO and were texting back and forth to each other, I will never get it.
Yikes!
@@sharoncochran8508 Yes. They made it so miserable we actually paid extra to cut the vacation short and fly home early (not to mention we'd already pre-paid for the entire week at the Polynesian Resort). If I'd had my way, we wouldn't have gone at all because the complaining started in the airport before we even left!
So a flight that exists normally from Spokane as a direct flight but is also a direct flight from sea-tac on Alaska air that takes a couple hours that is warm enough to have those plants 🧐
I’m going to be going on my first flight in over 15 years and I am petrified! And it’s a 5 hour flight! Them babies did so good! Have a great vacation y’all deserve it!
I'm so glad the kids got to exspence riding on a plane will be something they will always remember ❤️ Enjoy your holiday ❤️🇨🇦
I was 40 the first time I had to fly, my son was 14. He was cooler than I was. Since then we have flown about once a year, I am now 53 and love it. Safe trip to you all 😊
I was 52 when I flew the first time and flew from the UK to Asia and it was a 13 hr fight
You can smell the stress in airports!
Thanks!
Another first memory to add to the list. These experiences are wonderful to cherish for the rest of your lives. It was a privilege to see.
What a fantastic family. Watching this particular video had me in awe…I come from a small island in the Caribbean and to go anywhere you have to fly. The small things in life one takes for granted. Flying is a normal part of our lives sometimes we forget that our normal is not everyone’s. Thanks for this. Have a wonderful time away.
I love watching your kids expressions on the flight the very first flight. My kids acted the same way when they took their first flights to Florida from Michigan when they were little. Now I get to experience that with my grandchildren. Have a great vacation wherever you are can’t wait to watch the videos of it.❤
❤️
That was funny. I felt my stomach drop with it being the first time for them, & I felt their excitement with riding the train. I loved looking out the window on the second flight, it was a beautiful blue. Where ever you are just enjoy yourselves as best as you can. ❤🙏👵
Thank you so much 💓
I loved seeing their reactions to flying and even the subway train. First time I flew I was 18 and went by myself to from Seattle to Washington DC. That was 50 years ago. Hope it was a good trip.
Thank you!!
I think that was a shuttle tram between gates at the airport.
In 1977 I had to fly first time, I entered at Gallaudet University and I had enjoy flight 😊 I hope ur kids will love it…
I was around 20 when I went on my first flight. I loved it. My last flight was at the age of 28 or 29. The only one of my 4 kids ever to fly was my oldest before he was even a year old. Someday, I hope my kids get to fly. They are all adults now. Take off is my favorite part! Someday I hope to be able to fly once again. I am so glad your kids had so much fun.
Yay the kids got their wings! When I was a kid that was the exciting part. ( and fighting over who gets to sit by the window) We got to go up to the cockpit and talk to the pilot. I haven't seen kids actually get their wings in a long time. Glad they are bring that back. Enjoy your trip! ❤
The kids reaction is so priceless!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so calm and collected after dealing with the stress of your flight information being messed up! I’d be so frustrated! You handled it like champs!
Have a fun and safe trip! So much fun to go on a vacation with family! It’s an experience the kids will always remember! ❤
BLESS THEIR HEARTS!!! At take off, they reminded me so much of myself....I flew for the first time 2 yrs ago and im 47!! I freaked out the entire flight. I never want to fly again.... Proud of the kids!!! They did so well....
This was absolutely awesome to experience this with you all!! Loved the children's reactions from being scared to excitement!! Enjoy the rest of your trip! Cannot wait for the next video!
I love the wonder of children! So stressed, best day ever! I love it so much! I love taking my daughter to new experiences and just watching all of the awe in her face. It is the best thing I get to experience in life! Prayers y’all are safe and having fun!
Great family, great kids! Thanks for letting us watch them grow.
❤️
The excitement on their faces is amazing ♥️ Can’t wait to see where you’ve landed! Hope it is Hilo 🌋🌺
The little ones were wide eyed an so bewildered at flying so neat to watch.
So fun. Loved the kids reacting to the plane and flying. My first flight was from Spokane, WA to Ft. Benning, GA for Basic Training. My Daughter reacted just like your kids when the Wife and I took her to Disneyland. Good stuff guys, love the videos.
It was so lovely to see the kids so excited about their first experiences. It brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy your holiday.
Good morning! I still have a fear of flying and last time I flew was in the 80's. Kids looked like they had fun. Glad you all made it to your destination. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴💕🌴
So amazing. What a fabulous idea. I have never seen anyone's first time. How exciting. Something for their journals. Great idea.
so cool to see the innocence of kids. we forget as adults the beauty and wonder of something so amazing as things like flight. mahalo nui loa to Neveah for being transparent, honest, and open on camera about how you were feeling. Teens tend to be more private with their personal feelings and do not want to share and be vulnerable with the world. I hope you get a gift box of body spray when you get back home Neveah!!
This is one of your best episodes ever. Because it reminded me of the first time I travel on a plane. I know exactly what the kids was feeling. Great memories never dies. Enjoy your much needed vacation. One ❤ love.
I had to laugh at the kids raising their hands in air on take off and landing, like they were on a rollercoaster! Too cute! Can’t wait to see where you flew to.
Thank you for sharing the takeoff with us. It put a huge smile on my face watching the children.
Enjoy your trip well Deserved for the whole family
Safe Travels
Your kids are great, no chaos whatsoever. My first flight was from Chicago to Las Vegas. I was 37. I cried all the way…mostly because my babies (14 & 12) were home with grandparents.
The kids reacted better than I did on my first flight!!! Enjoy your trip! Can't wait to see more!!!
🤣🤣that high pitched ahhhhh!! When baby boy looked out the window after in the sky❤️❤️. Also all arms up on the decent/landing as if on a roller coaster ride🤣😃
It is chaotic travelling, especially with kids, but I suspect you wouldn’t have half as much fun without them. Congratulations on making it to your destination. And you have managed to keep it a secret except for the fact that it has to be somewhere warm. Bon voyage and safe journeys!
How great to see you all enjoying your air flight, especially your children. This is the first time I have noticed your oldest daughter eyes, they are beautiful. Enjoy your trip.
Love and best wishes from Mike. ❤
😂 I was either smiling or laughing the whole time. I just love you guys.
Aww thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Memories of our flights with our older sons several years ago in 2000. We flew from Colorado to Pennsylvania (the year before 9/11, so no security hassles) to visit family. My wife and I flew back again in '10-'13 and '14. Not so much fun with security and mechanical delays and diversions and cancellations were numerous. But I still love flying. Have a couple friends who have taken me up in their light GA aircraft. Awesome experience. I am a volunteer at our local aircraft museum at our local airport and I get to hang around the airport and enjoy working on our historical aircraft and displays. Something special about airports and all the "busyness" and seeing people arriving from and departing to points all around the world. Great experience for kids for sure!
It’s really fun to watch the kid’s enjoy their first flying experience!
I’ve flown so much throughout my life that I’m really over it and avoid it at all costs. I get so nervous, even though statistically it’s safer to fly than to drive 😂
Thanks for reminding me that joy can be found, even in the seemingly chaotic and unpleasant things we may find ourselves having to do!
❤️❤️☺️
Yes. it was beautiful how the two of you sat together and the children had their space..Anywho You ALL needed this travel wherever you are traveling...Enjoy...!
That was fun to watch! As if we were there with you guys all flight! Enjoy your travel! ✈️
My first flight was at 18 on my way basic training in Texas My second was flying back to Atlanta after tech school. Then from Atlanta to Okinawa When I returned home 4 yrs later I had flown enough to circle the earth 3 times. That was in 1973. I've only flown once sense then to Oklahoma and back in 2000 After all that the one I remember is
that first time.Just a kid, all alone on a crowed plane beginning a new phase in life. This is something your children will all ways remember and thanks to you two it will be a pleasant one. .
I can’t remember my first flight. And I can’t tell my flights apart. Only time I didn’t fly for over 6 month is due to Covid-19 where I couldn’t fly for over 2 Years! I’d love to be able to experience flying as something special!
Some great laughs., super editing. Looking forward to Wednesday’s video!❤
Thank you so much 💓
I smiled this whole video😁 I love all the "firsts". Such genuine reactions❤
Eeeeeeek! Exciting! I love flying but havent been on a plane with the kids yet either. Their reactions and pure excitement was soooo fun to watch! Def dont miss the small seats lol. When we fly, I'll sit in the row with the kids and their little bums so I have a little more space. And it just hit me, no masks!!! Yay! Can't wait to see where you landed.....✈️😁
I smiled throughout the whole video. It's exciting to fly and especially when you're going someplace new and fun. So happy for all if you.
My goodness,....such a nice family. It's good to know that they still exist in America. Well behaved kids. Good parents. God bless em. We need more families like this.
How fun! My son flew and rode on his first tram in his early 20’s. Lol He was so nervous and excited. I was so happy to see him happy.
Too funny on Neveah’s reaction having to throw out her body spray!😂 oh the trials of flying! I love your family, such a picker upper to watch you all🙌🏻
On the painful ears while landing, I definitely relate to that! A pharmacist friend told me how to alleviate that… I pack my airplane plugs (they look like plastic screws), nasal spray, gum and nasal decongestant tablets all in a plastic lunch bag, bring in my purse. Actually I put the plugs in my ear once I’m on the plane…30 minutes before landing I use the nasal spray and take one decongestant tablet and chew gum. So far it has helped about 80-100% of the time, which is a big difference from the stabbing pain in my ear!😅🙏🏻love you guys!
Born Again Believer, Thank you for the info on what you use on an Airplane to help out with the pain in your ears... I have always suffered such bad pain while flying. Have not been on a plane since 2005, but I will definitely use what you've said on my next Flying excursion 😊 Blessings to you, and thank you so much🙏❤️🙏❤️
@@stacybroussard3097 you’re welcome! I have to laugh at myself because I feel like I have this ritual I have to go through every time! I take one decongestant, but I would read on the box for correct dosage. I should have added to my list :don’t forget to pray!🙏🏻
My parents taught us to chew gum to make our ears pop when going up in the mountains and it has worked for me on airplanes as well.
Was that Mt. Rainier at 8:09 and 8:19 ? Brings back fond memories of taking our young son on a hike and stay at the Paradise Inn on Mt. Rainier and the fabulous Northwest Trek Wildlife Park (at the base of the eastern slope). A great adventure for anyone who loves the Pacific NW! [TIP TO REDUCE AIR PRESSURE INN EARS: If swallowing hard doesnt work, pinch nose closed and gently blow until ears "pop". This is an old trick taught by scuba diving instructors.]
such good kids. good parenting.
Thank you ❤️
Bless their lil overwhelmed faces and complete awe in flying and riding the tram for their first time. You two should be so proud how amazingly they behaved Hats off momma and papa 🤗
🎶I laughed, grinned and giggled along with all four kids as y’all provided yet another opportunity to create treasured sets of memories. We (parents) try our best with what we know in each moment at each point of understanding in our journeys…hopefully getting better and smarter as we go BUT let me assure you that from the degree to which we’re privileged to see your family…you both are spot on in your loving, caring and nurturing each one as an individual. Never give up or give in to social pressure telling you that you’re preventing your children from knowing the “real” world, because the “real world” is what we each create with our decisions. What a fascinating real world y’all are creating together 😊🎶
Kids. Did great. Considering there 1st. Time! 😮 wow. No one got sick! Fantastic!
Poor Nevaeh 😒 hopefully you’ll be able to get it at your destination!
The faces of the kids is precious. Awesome parents🎉
Ok not fair not telling us where your going ❤
Stay tuned for Wed!
Suspense... I'm betting it's Hawaii 😊
I'm with you Eli. I like the take off. Lots of power. Exciting. Don't like the hassle of flying. I prefer train or road trips. I LOVE your family. 🥰❤️⭐ Thank you for sharing with us.
Its lovely that you guys are having a vacay after all your hard work. Well deserved. Have fun😀👍🏼
So cute the kids reaction was priceless! Have fun and a safe trip back home 💟
💚
This is amazing! Brings back memories of when I was 16 yrs old and flew for the first time alone and had to catch a connecting flight. Good times. Hope you guys have a great trip!
I can’t remember my first flight. And I can’t tell my flights apart. Only time I didn’t fly for over 6 month is due to Covid-19 where I couldn’t fly for over 2 Years! I’d love to be able to experience flying as something special!
I was about 5 when I first flew across the US. Flew from Lexington, KY to Atlanta, LAX. I was in love instantly. I love to fly. Your kids will be hooked.
Amazing 👏 your children did you both proud. Your whole family 👪 is amazing thanks for sharing it with us.
I think you can still take pictures on aiplane mode. Take lots of the clouds and how small cities look. And the patchwork of farm fields.
Beautiful family! Always enjoy your videos. I know you both are very proud of the construction of this amazing family and watching all the growth. Enjoy life and the new home
well that's a teaser if ever there was one! Great to see the kids faces of surprise and excitement! Can't wait to see where you are and what you get up too
Have a blast Sousa family! God bless
So funny! So sweet!! Brings back such fun memories flying with my 6 kids!
The looks on the kids faces priceless !
It cracks me up how excited the kids are taking the train. I loath taking that train when I fly out of SeaTac. I always feel like I'm going to be late getting to the terminal.
Also, I was excited to catch the first glimpse of Mt Rainier out the window. Even that far off I recognized my favorite place in the world.
Wow!! That went by way too fast...
Now I can't wait, so excited 😆
Glad you are taking us along with you... Grateful 🌸
My first plane ride when I was seven years old was to Hawaii. We went for two weeks and I fell in love with the islands. I’m now 60 and I can’t tell you how many times I have been back. In fact just came back to the mainland for a couple of months and then will be heading back over once hunting season is over.
Wow that's awesome. I believe traveling is super important experience for kids. Helps them see and experience a new place and people, but also gives them a better sense of what Idaho is and where home is.
It was fun to watch your kids experience that for the first time. My wife and I lived in Haiti doing humanitarian work for a bunch of years, and all our kids were born and spent their early years there. When we came back to Canada permanently they asked to go see a movie in the theatre for the first time. We took them but it just so happened that the movie we wanted to watch was sold out . . . but they were SO excited just to be in the theatre building with all the lights and popcorn smell and games and movie posters and people and bigness of it all . . . they talked about it for months. It didn't take much to impress them back then!
