I'm at teacher, and I can honesty say these experiences change children, they learn about culture, about traveling, they socialise, spend time with their families and most of all have fun, memories for a life time . You never know what's gonna happen, and your not always promised tomorrow. Enjoying life through experiences like this and having fun is so much more important than a month of class, especially considering these kids are so young. It's all about being happy. Have fun you guys ☺️☺️
Hope you stay safe and have lots of fun! Try not to listen to all comments about the kids missing school because you will make a lifetime of family memories! Love you guys and can't wait for this month of vlogs!
💜Joel and Bonnie I'm so EXCITED for your family. Not only will this be a great family vacation there also will be numerous LEARNING opportunities besides their homework. I hope you bought them each a JOURNAL so they can write/draw and/or you two can write/draw what they EXPERIENCED that day, even Lincoln. Make it simple, this is just a SUGGESTION. May the Lord BLESS your family and keep you all safe during this FAMILY ADVENTURE.💜
Yay! I hope your month in Hawaii is amazing! It's so wonderful that you're able to work anywhere that has wifi! You're kids are going to learn so much this month. I'm looking forward to each and every vlog, like always! 💕
people piss me off. They literally Have the next 18-25 YEARS of school left, And people are upset about a month of absolutely amazing experiences?? Go Bonnie and Joel!! You guys are doing it right!! Can not wait to see the smiles on these kids faces!!
Brigid Rouselle As a first grade teacher I'm always excited for my students to get a life experience like this. They will learn so much while they are there.
Brigid Rouselle they are going to be there for a month. Like other people were saying though, they will learn so much more there and Bonnie did get all of their work so they won't fall behind. And yeah, it's second grade and kindergarten; I think they'll be okay
I know Bonnie expected half of you people that all wrote the rude and negative comments!!! Cmon people!! Do you really think Bonnie and Joel wound do anything to jeopardize their kids education or well being?? Of course not... I know Bonnie and Joel thought about all the pros and cons concerning the kids very long and hard!! If you think about it... that's one big reasons everyone watches Bonnie!! Plus they are not thinking of y'all petty comments while they are loving and spending time with their kids on this amazing journey!!!! Also... a lot people bashed her for not going Disney..., now people that did comment on that... Bonnie would get more rude comments. ( like how could you take your kids to amusement parks for a few weeks during school?) So no matter what they do y'all aren't happy!!! But guess what... at the end of the day Bonnie and Joel are having incredible time and making beautiful precious family moments in Hawaii while all that " disagree with this" are miserable and need worry about their family!!! Those kids are going get amazing education and memories with family that is going be inspirational and incredible!!! Bonnie and Joel: thank you for sharing this beautiful Hawaii adventure with me!!! Love you guys!!!!
a school is for teaching lessons and helping with social skills, not another source of parental advice lol. i had a vacation and was gone for 2 weeks and my dean & principal had a fit 😂 my parents simply told them that they were there to teach me the curriculum and had no opinion on what my family does haha! but HAVE FUN IT'S SO AWESOME GUYS & SING LOTS OF SONGS FROM MOANA!
There were several times my parents pulled me out of school for weeks at a time to travel. I'm so grateful for it, travel is so important. Have so much fun in Hawaii Bonnie, you guys deserve it!! Can't wait for this month of vlogs. 💕
erica I I think it was probably because it's for a whole month, but I completely agree with you. It's not like they up and left without saying anything. Bonnie made sure to get all of their work. And yes, no one is promised tomorrow and I think this is such an amazing experience for the whole family!
erica I As a teacher myself I understand it. A month is long and she's going to miss a lot of stuff even though they took her homework with her. Maybe she's going to miss tests and that's extra work for the teacher when she's back.
erica I if she's going to be pulling them out for a month, maybe she should look into homeschooling. Family is VERY important....but so is school. Summer is coming, they could have gone then.
Life's too short to stress about a child Olivia's age missing a few weeks of school. She is bright and she will get caught up. At the end of the day, she probably would have never remembered her time missed in the classroom, but she will never forget a family vacation like this. Take in every adventure possible, and soak up every opportunity you are given, for too many are not this fortunate! I look forward to watching your family vacation from behind my screen, and wish nothing but safe travels and fun for the Hoellein family! Ke aloha 🌺
I don't understand the negative comments. You can do homework anytime. You don't always find time to spend a month with your family. Public schools are horrible anyway. You sit in a room like robots for seven hours, as teachers cram copious amount if information into your brains, then expect you to go home and do 3 hours of homework. I can guarantee this trip will be more enriching for Olivia than a months worth of school would be.
Mandy Schmidt. Very true. Besides, they are getting better education just being there and learning a different life style. I have always felt that traveling is always educational.
I can't believe you did it! I'm so excited for you all and to watch your Hawaiian vlogs! a WHOLE month in Hawaii is a dream come true! You guys totally deserve it!
I have a daughter in second grade and it's no joke. I hope you both recognize that she probably had an extremely time consuming task to put together three weeks of class/homework. It's nearly impossible to know that far ahead of time where a class will be at. On top of that, she will probably feel the weight on her shoulders to get Olivia caught up (if necessary) before the school year is finished. That is an AWFUL lot to ask of a teacher. It would have been so much better to wait until Summer break.
Teachers get at least a day a month off to organize what they will be doing in the weeks that are coming up. Wish the negative people would just not worry about something that is none of their buisiness in the first place. Just let this family have the time of their live. All together.
I will admit that I'm a tad bit jealous but you have no idea how excited I am for you guys. I got very teary eyed when you told the kids and I could feel how excited they were. Have fun you guys and be safe!
I can't wait to be able to do this with my kids when I'm older. Your kids are going to learn more than they ever could in school. Loved seeing the excitement on their faces! 💕
Everyone who is saying they could have done it in the summer- 1.) it's probably peak season in the summer and would be more expensive and harder to find somewhere to stay. 2.) it's really none of our business and we should be thankful they're sharing their lives with us because I LOVE seeing Hawaii through these vlogs 3.) I'm a teacher, but I am also a mom and family time and memories always trumps school because kids grow up so fast and they won't always have these opportunities! Love you guys and hope you have a FABULOUS time!!
Bonnie, Cody is SO much like you! I love it! He knows what he needs and wants. He explains things just like you! So cute! Thanks for sharing your life 😄
This video made me tear up so many times, such sweet moments from the kids. They are going to remember this for the rest of their lives, what an amazing experience. 💜
I am in loveee with Bonnies positive attitude. Her smile, laugh, and excitement can have everyone get into an awsm mood. Joel and Bonnie are such amazing parents, and I sure hope they could ignore all this hate towards them and be able to enjoy there vacation with their beautiful family. Family these hates are not apart of. ❤❤❤
So exciting to watch, could totally feel the excitment through the screen. haha. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Excited to see more Hawaii vlogs!
That's the great and awesome thing about raising your kids the right way! Your kids are SO well behaved, I love it that they always listen. Keep on going, both of you are doing fantastically! 💛💘
Fantastic edit! Loved the kids asking questions as you were getting ready at home and loved the luggage riding clips. Can't wait for daily vids in Hawaii. Thanks for sharing.
Everyone is so concerned about the kids missing school, the only thing I was concerned about was Ellie dropping her phone 4:24 she holds it so dainty hahah. Hope you have a nice vacation !! 🌺
Bonnie and Joel please pay no attention to all the negative comments! life goes by so fast it's better to spend time with family. my parents used to take us to Mexico for a whole month during school and it's the memories I cherish the most. you're kids will forever remember it and that's what matters. can't wait to see this month's vlogs!
I had tears in my eyes this entire video, we have 5 kids and I know how special this must have felt for you (bonnie) and joel, to be able to surprise the kiddos and experience all of this. I hope you guys have the BEST time!! Time traveling with family is much more well spent than at school ;)
Oh im so looking forward to watching your adventures whilst you're in hawaii. Seeing the kids faces was brilliant when they woke up i was almost as excited as you. Nothing beats a family holiday and i hope you make memories that will last a lifetime
Just love watching your family. Have a great holiday, your daughter is always so thankful, and your boys are so sweet. Enjoy your break, love from New Zealand.x
Awww I love your family Bonnie and the kids really made me smile when they were riding around on their suitcases and they are so well behaved considering how excited they all were. Bless their little hearts!!!a! ❤️
I've been waiting for this announcement!! I'm so excited for your family Bonnie! I can tell by your giggling you are SO excited. Can't wait to see the vlogs while you're there! I can understand the teachers frustration but good on you for picking up the kids' homework while their missing
I'm a college student and this video made me SO excited to one day have a family and travel. I love that you are giving your kids these experiences, even though it might be tiring and challenging traveling with 4 littles!
Joel, Bonnie and children..............Have a fantastic time and enjoy all the things that are different for your children. I am so anxious to see your vlogs.. As for all the jealous, opinionated and downright rude comments; let them fly by you without a thought. Family is so very important and vacationing is a great bonding time in a different surrounding. I am sure you were really panicked when Lincoln cut his head open, but all is well and just love on your children and have a good time.
I totally cried real tears during your first clips in Hawaii! SOOOOOOOOO excited for your family to experience Hawaii together and to watch your journey!! 🌺🌴 Thank you for taking us along for the ride!!! Love you guys!
So happy for you guys! So glad you got to bring your kids and Joel with you back to Hawaii. Looking forward to seeing all the fun you guys will be having. Hope you all have a wonderful blessed family vacation. God bless and have lots of fun 😀
if I had the opportunity and the means I would do this in a heart beat. Years ago I didn't go back to my grandfather's home country with him because of worry about missing school and the cost. I regret that decision even today, 15 years later. Good on ya Bonnie! Have fun and make memories!
you have such a beautiful family Bonnie :) I love watching your vlogs , it makes me practice my english and put joy in my day :) thank you so much for that !
I think this is beautiful ..they have the opportunity to take their kids as a whole family to Hawaii for a month! It's an awesome experience to give your children .. makes my heart so warm to see the excitement on these their faces.. god bless you guys! 💜
when you guys surprised them it made me tear up. I dream of one day being able to do this with my family. thanks for sharing these precious moments with us. Blessings and much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We used to do these sort of trips while I was growing up (skipping school included), and it's some of the best things to look back on. Seriously, the kiddos are gonna love it! They'll catch up on any school they missed! Ahh y'all enjoy yourselves!!! :-)
Wow the comments are so divided and some are so nasty. You think Bonnie and Joel have taken OTHER people's kids out of school the way they are reacting! Hope you guys enjoy your trip and totally agree with it being your decision. Considering the fact you have 4 kids it makes sense to do this now when two aren't in school yet as it means less time missed. I would love to do something like this with my boys and since they are only going to be 18 months apart and I only have two it's super easy for me to do it. If we included my older stepsons though a bit of school would be missed but what an experience and amazing bonding time to have. Much love and have fun ❤️❤️❤️
Yay!!! Aloha!!! Have an amazing time! I can't wait to watch the next vlogs!!! 😆 Perfect time to take a break from school, you do you Bonnie and Joel!😊💕
Loved the kids reactions when they found out where they were going even sweet Boston's, he is so not a morning person and I can relate :) Have a wonderful vacation!
I love rewatching your Hawaii Vlogs ❤️😊 life’s to short and every minute spent with family is the best feeling going and your children will always remember this.....xx
I absolutely love the montage beginning edit!! Thanks so much for helping inspire my channel. You are an amazing Mother and person... your and your husband are Gems to those babies!!
I hope that this is the beginning of one of the best months of your lives as a little family. You are about to make some amazing memories and I'm excited that you'll be sharing it with all of us!! 😍🐠🐬☀️
Bonnie, the sound of your voice and the pure excitement of going to Hawaii made my heart happy. We get one life, and we need to live it. You enjoy ever second, every minute, every hour and every day, you work hard and you should play hard too. Enjoy this family time because you, Joel and the kids will never forget it. I'm excited to watch what's to come. Just keep being you and keep being an amazing family. Xxx🌸🌴💜💐👍
You guys are family goals!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO! It made me cry to see your son run over to hug you after he realized y'all were going to Hawaii!! I can't wait to have children! I'm doing this too!!
My family and I just got back a couple weeks ago from a Hawaiian cruise and it was just breathtakingly beautiful😍 I learned so much more than I expected on that trip of the Hawaiin language and culture! I hope you enjoy your time as a family together it sounds like such an amazing trip!!
I am a mother of four and would do this vacation in a heartbeat!! my kids are above average intelligence(gifted)and get bored with the school system setup anyway, but she has their homework so mind tour biz! I mean HI...come on!!! Once in a lifetime, especially for a large family. I lived there while my husband was stationed there in the Army with our two kiddos and we miss it so much(not the bugs or super humidity though) I have never been on a vacation with my kids and we are saving up for Disneyland. watching blogs like these gives me help, hope and happiness in that future of family fun! I live in Eden,UT (my hubbs is from Logan, Hyrum) and it feels awesome seeing locals share their lives. Have fun and be safe! I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous, but lying even more if I said I wasn't over the moon for y'all!
Looks like so much fun for the whole family! What an amazing opportunity to learn about culture and new experiences. Kids will catch up on school later... they have tons of time left in their educational career and will learn far more about life and family than they ever will sitting in a class room. Also will teach them hard work and diligence to catch up with their school work when they are gone and come back! What great parents for doing what you think is best for your kids!
I'm at teacher, and I can honesty say these experiences change children, they learn about culture, about traveling, they socialise, spend time with their families and most of all have fun, memories for a life time . You never know what's gonna happen, and your not always promised tomorrow. Enjoying life through experiences like this and having fun is so much more important than a month of class, especially considering these kids are so young. It's all about being happy. Have fun you guys ☺️☺️
Hope you stay safe and have lots of fun! Try not to listen to all comments about the kids missing school because you will make a lifetime of family memories! Love you guys and can't wait for this month of vlogs!

💜Joel and Bonnie I'm so EXCITED for your family. Not only will this be a great family vacation there also will be numerous LEARNING opportunities besides their homework. I hope you bought them each a JOURNAL so they can write/draw and/or you two can write/draw what they EXPERIENCED that day, even Lincoln. Make it simple, this is just a SUGGESTION. May the Lord BLESS your family and keep you all safe during this FAMILY ADVENTURE.💜
Bean Olson Great idea journaling. They will have those memories forever.
Yay! I hope your month in Hawaii is amazing! It's so wonderful that you're able to work anywhere that has wifi! You're kids are going to learn so much this month. I'm looking forward to each and every vlog, like always! 💕
I love Boston's cute little face in the thumbnail 😂😂 so happy for y'all 💜💜
so many jealous people leaving negative comments. Enjoy the family trip. I'm so happy the kids get to experience what many of us dream of doing 😍
Haha anyone else notice at 4:57 Boston was singing “Call Me Baby”? Awww he’s so precious 💗
people piss me off. They literally Have the next 18-25 YEARS of school left, And people are upset about a month of absolutely amazing experiences?? Go Bonnie and Joel!! You guys are doing it right!! Can not wait to see the smiles on these kids faces!!
Olivia is literally me. 😂 When she heard that her teacher wasn't happy you could see she was worried.
I know!
Bonnie and Joel, you guys are awesome parents to give this opportunity to your kids! It's something they'll never forget. Have the best time!
I cant believe Olivia's teacher was upset about Olivia missing a few days. She's in the second grade not high school.
Brigid Rouselle As a first grade teacher I'm always excited for my students to get a life experience like this. They will learn so much while they are there.
Brigid Rouselle they are going to be there for a month. Like other people were saying though, they will learn so much more there and Bonnie did get all of their work so they won't fall behind. And yeah, it's second grade and kindergarten; I think they'll be okay
Brigid Rouselle its probably because April is when most schools start their end of the year testing.
Janaya Matheson just asking. but on ur UA-cam channel why do u have a pickapixel background?
haliechristiansen but she is in the second grade. And Bonnie got all of her work for her.
I'm so excited for you guys! I can't wait to see all of the Hawaii vlogs to come!

There were several times my parents pulled me out of school for weeks at a time to travel. I'm so grateful for it, travel is so important.
Have so much fun in Hawaii Bonnie, you guys deserve it!! Can't wait for this month of vlogs. 💕
it's really funny scrolling thought the comments reading the jealous & salty comments 😂😂😂
sylvia 😂😂 I'm sure Bonnie and Joel are having a good laugh aswell while they enjoy their beautiful view!😂
sylvia true😂😂😂

sylvia ,
Aloha Bonnie, Joel, and the kids! Hope you all have an awesome time here! 😁🍍🌺🌴
Makes me mad Olivia's teacher was rude.... school is important yes, but no one is promised tomorrow! I'd rather enjoy a family vacation
erica I I think it was probably because it's for a whole month, but I completely agree with you. It's not like they up and left without saying anything. Bonnie made sure to get all of their work.

I agree! It's a great experience for the kids too!
erica I Yes! What will their kids remember more? -A special family trip or a month of school?
erica I if she's going to be pulling them out for a month, maybe she should look into homeschooling. Family is VERY important....but so is school. Summer is coming, they could have gone then.
Life's too short to stress about a child Olivia's age missing a few weeks of school. She is bright and she will get caught up.

Mandy Schmidt. Very true. Besides, they are getting better education just being there and learning a different life style. I have always felt that traveling is always educational.
Mandy Schmidt agree, no offense to anyone but public schools are horrible
I guess some families can't drop $10,000 a year per kid for private school where they will get the same education.
I don't have homework. My school doesn't allow homework
Zoie_Pablo_11 You are the most luckiest person
This is so awesome. What great experiences for your children. I cried tears of happy throughout this whole video. This is so amazing!
Bostons not a morning person😂
Ebony Hammer yep he definitely isn't
Ebony Hammer same with me LOL 😂😂😂
I am
Ebony Hammer Omg his face is just like mine in the morning, doesn't matter how exciting my day is going to be!😂😂😂😂
Ebony Hammer mM,
I can't believe you did it! I'm so excited for you all and to watch your Hawaiian vlogs! a WHOLE month in Hawaii is a dream come true! You guys totally deserve it!
I am confused! Are you moving or visiting??

Stephanie Salazar April fools Gottcha!
i love how much Bonnie loves her kids and how she laughs when they're being so dang cute!
I have a daughter in second grade and it's no joke. I hope you both recognize that she probably had an extremely time consuming task to put together three weeks of class/homework. It's nearly impossible to know that far ahead of time where a class will be at. On top of that, she will probably feel the weight on her shoulders to get Olivia caught up (if necessary) before the school year is finished. That is an AWFUL lot to ask of a teacher. It would have been so much better to wait until Summer break.
she said that she asked Olivia and Cody's teacher for the homework they will miss. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't pass up an opportunity like this! 🙂
Kara Greskamp what's it like to be so bitter? Let them have fun and quit judging
Teachers get at least a day a month off to organize what they will be doing in the weeks that are coming up. Wish the negative people would just not worry about something that is none of their buisiness in the first place. Just let this family have the time of their live. All together.
I don't know where you live, but I definitely don't get at least a day off each month to plan.
As a teacher, this is all I could think about. It's her responsibility to get Olivia caught up !! THANK YOU👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You guys!!! I cried a little because I'm so excited and happy for you that you got to do this! I hope you have the best time.
Oh my gosh!! You tell Olivia you guys can come party at our house anytime you want!! So cute!!
Iove
Carl & Jinger Family i love you
Carl & Jinger Family I love y’all that was so cute
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Carl & Jinger Family you are the best can I come I am 10 years old I love you guys
I will admit that I'm a tad bit jealous but you have no idea how excited I am for you guys. I got very teary eyed when you told the kids and I could feel how excited they were. Have fun you guys and be safe!
oh wow what a fun surprise and too funny for it to be on April fools day and to have it be real!
I can't wait to be able to do this with my kids when I'm older. Your kids are going to learn more than they ever could in school. Loved seeing the excitement on their faces! 💕
Everyone who is saying they could have done it in the summer- 1.) it's probably peak season in the summer and would be more expensive and harder to find somewhere to stay. 2.) it's really none of our business and we should be thankful they're sharing their lives with us because I LOVE seeing Hawaii through these vlogs 3.)

Bonnie, Cody is SO much like you! I love it! He knows what he needs and wants. He explains things just like you! So cute! Thanks for sharing your life 😄
This video made me tear up so many times, such sweet moments from the kids. They are going to remember this for the rest of their lives, what an amazing experience. 💜
I am in loveee with Bonnies positive attitude. Her smile, laugh, and excitement can have everyone get into an awsm mood. Joel and Bonnie are such amazing parents, and I sure hope they could ignore all this hate towards them and be able to enjoy there vacation with their beautiful family. Family these hates are not apart of. ❤❤❤
So exciting to watch, could totally feel the excitment through the screen. haha. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Excited to see more Hawaii vlogs!
That's the great and awesome thing about raising your kids the right way! Your kids are SO well behaved, I love it that they always listen. Keep on going, both of you are doing fantastically! 💛💘
Fantastic edit! Loved the kids asking questions as you were getting ready at home and loved the luggage riding clips. Can't wait for daily vids in Hawaii. Thanks for sharing.
Hope your family has a blessed and fun time!
I'm so excited for you all. You will have so much fun. Can't wait for tomorrow to come. Your making my week so happy.
Oh I just can't wait for all your amazing family vlogs! Soak in every second and I know y'all will make memories that last a lifetime!
Omg Bonnie !! Have FUN !!!!
I love that you are excited that they're excited but also excited to show them what momma has experienced!!
Everyone is so concerned about the kids missing school, the only thing I was concerned about was Ellie dropping her phone 4:24 she holds it so dainty hahah. Hope you have a nice vacation !! 🌺
Bonnie and Joel please pay no attention to all the negative comments! life goes by so fast it's better to spend time with family. my parents used to take us to Mexico for a whole month during school and it's the memories I cherish the most. you're kids will forever remember it and that's what matters. can't wait to see this month's vlogs!
Oh, im so happy for you guys. You guys are just beaming with joy. Enjoy Hawaii!
I had tears in my eyes this entire video, we have 5 kids and I know how special this must have felt for you (bonnie) and joel, to be able to surprise the kiddos and experience all of this. I hope you guys have the BEST time!! Time traveling with family is much more well spent than at school ;)
Oh im so looking forward to watching your adventures whilst you're in hawaii. Seeing the kids faces was brilliant when they woke up i was almost as excited as you. Nothing beats a family holiday and i hope you make memories that will last a lifetime
Just love watching your family. Have a great holiday, your daughter is always so thankful, and your boys are so sweet. Enjoy your break, love from New Zealand.x

I've been waiting for this announcement!! I'm so excited for your family Bonnie! I can tell by your giggling you are SO excited. Can't wait to see the vlogs while you're there!
I can understand the teachers frustration but good on you for picking up the kids' homework while their missing
The airport segment with the kiddos was AWESOME! Hilarious and darling at the same time. Your kids are just precious! HAVE FUN!!
Every time Bonnie or Ellie smile they remind me of each other because they have the same smile!! So sweet! I hope you have tons of fun! Im so jealous
I'm a college student and this video made me SO excited to one day have a family and travel. I love that you are giving your kids these experiences, even though it might be tiring and challenging traveling with 4 littles!
I've watched the kids reactions a few times. Cody is so adorable and sweet! Have so much fun!!!
Joel, Bonnie and children..............Have a fantastic time and enjoy all the things that are different for your children. I am so anxious to see your vlogs.. As for all the jealous, opinionated and downright rude comments; let them fly by you without a thought. Family is so very important and vacationing is a great bonding time in a different surrounding. I am sure you were really panicked when Lincoln cut his head open, but all is well and just love on your children and have a good time.
This is so exciting! Loving the volgs lately, dare I say my favorite family to watch! Enjoy your trip you guys deserve it!
This is so special! Bonnie you and Joel are such great parents, your kids will have such a memorable experience !!
I totally cried real tears during your first clips in Hawaii! SOOOOOOOOO excited for your family to experience Hawaii together and to watch your journey!! 🌺🌴 Thank you for taking us along for the ride!!! Love you guys!
THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE BONNIE!!!! Have the most fun you can possibly have!! You guys deserve this!!! Ahhh can't wait for the vlogs!!!
So happy for you guys! So glad you got to bring your kids and Joel with you back to Hawaii. Looking forward to seeing all the fun you guys will be having. Hope you all have a wonderful blessed family vacation. God bless and have lots of fun 😀
if I had the opportunity and the means I would do this in a heart beat. Years ago I didn't go back to my grandfather's home country with him because of worry about missing school and the cost. I regret that decision even today, 15 years later. Good on ya Bonnie! Have fun and make memories!
I'm SO excited for y'all!!! What an unforgettable experience for your family!
Oh my!!! How exciting a special is this?! Y'all are going to have an amazing family vacation! I can't wait to see all of the adventures

Cody running to hug you. ...ugh I'm melted! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Wow! Do vlogs get any better than this?! Thank you for the joy and smiles! Have so much fun on your vacation!!
when you guys surprised them it made me tear up. I dream of one day being able to do this with my family. thanks for sharing these precious moments with us. Blessings and much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We used to do these sort of trips while I was growing up (skipping school included), and it's some of the best things to look back on. Seriously, the kiddos are gonna love it! They'll catch up on any school they missed! Ahh y'all enjoy yourselves!!! :-)
Wow the comments are so divided and some are so nasty. You think Bonnie and Joel have taken OTHER people's kids out of school the way they are reacting! Hope you guys enjoy your trip and totally agree with it being your decision. Considering the fact you have 4 kids it makes sense to do this now when two aren't in school yet as it means less time missed. I would love to do something like this with my boys and since they are only going to be 18 months apart and I only have two it's super easy for me to do it. If we included my older stepsons though a bit of school would be missed but what an experience and amazing bonding time to have. Much love and have fun ❤️❤️❤️
I love your vlogs Bonnie because you are always so honest and bright! Thank you for a happy vlog!
Yay!!! Aloha!!! Have an amazing time! I can't wait to watch the next vlogs!!! 😆 Perfect time to take a break from school, you do you Bonnie and Joel!😊💕

Cody is so sweet. His face when Bonnie told them about Hawaii was priceless.
I love how Cody is always the first one to run and give Bonnie a hug!!!😊💜💜💜💜
I just love this vlog but I don't know why! I think it's cuz I love the reaction of the kids and when they were getting ready cuz they looked so cute!
Bonnie, the sound of your voice and the pure excitement of going to Hawaii made my heart happy. We get one life, and we need to live it. You enjoy ever second, every minute, every hour and every day, you work hard and you should play hard too. Enjoy this family time because you, Joel and the kids will never forget it. I'm excited to watch what's to come. Just keep being you and keep being an amazing family. Xxx🌸🌴💜💐👍
You guys are family goals!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO! It made me cry to see your son run over to hug you after he realized y'all were going to Hawaii!! I can't wait to have children! I'm doing this too!!
My family and I just got back a couple weeks ago from a Hawaiian cruise and it was just breathtakingly beautiful😍 I learned so much more than I expected on that trip of the Hawaiin language and culture! I hope you enjoy your time as a family together it sounds like such an amazing trip!!
I am SO EXCITED for you guys and for these vlogs!! Bonnie you are always a hoot!! I love your family!
I couldn't stop smiling with happiness because I knew how bad you wanted to bring the family to Hawaii!! So happy for you guys💕💕💕💕
I am a mother of four and would do this vacation in a heartbeat!! my kids are above average intelligence(gifted)and get bored with the school system setup anyway, but she has their homework so mind tour biz! I mean HI...come on!!! Once in a lifetime, especially for a large family. I lived there while my husband was stationed there in the Army with our two kiddos and we miss it so much(not the bugs or super humidity though) I have never been on a vacation with my kids and we are saving up for Disneyland. watching blogs like these gives me help, hope and happiness in that future of family fun! I live in Eden,UT (my hubbs is from Logan, Hyrum) and it feels awesome seeing locals share their lives. Have fun and be safe! I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous, but lying even more if I said I wasn't over the moon for y'all!
Looks like so much fun for the whole family! What an amazing opportunity to learn about culture and new experiences. Kids will catch up on school later... they have tons of time left in their educational career and will learn far more about life and family than they ever will sitting in a class room. Also will teach them hard work and diligence to catch up with their school work when they are gone and come back! What great parents for doing what you think is best for your kids!
Ahhhhh! Bonnie! What a fun trip! Your kids will always remember this!
I'm so excited for you guys! You are just radianting happiness!!!! Enjoy the sunshine
