    I was saddened to see that Sam's mom passed. I am sorry for your loss. Overall a great video! It looks like your family has a lot of fun. It is nice to see such a close knit family.

      @@yournewzealandfamily It's nice that you get to take picnics and stuff. Enjoy it while you can, dark times are ahead... for my people anyway. We face global humiliation because of our weak leader, gas prices as high as 8 dollars, food shortages, political violence in the streets, uproars over the 'right' to kill babies after or before birth (which is done by crushing a babies skull or sucking its brains out with a tube... which is disgusting and Orwellian), we also face riots, mass shootings, and a possible nuclear exchange with China and Russia. I know that things will get better for God's chosen nation and the people of this great nation, but before then there will be a struggle politically and physically. Sorry if I get too political for you, I don't want to make anyone too uncomfortable. God bless your family and your nation.

    I grew up in a place where none of this was possible because of the insecurity.
    I'm a bit jealous that you all get to experience nature without worries like my family did, but I'm also thankful that you get to experience it.
    If I ever have kids down the road, this is the type of childhood I would want them to have.
    You and Nadine are some seriously amazing parents.

      Haha as a Michigander I can safely say that out of all of the Great Lakes….Erie is probably the worst to swim in. Though, none of them are great to swim in (they are either COLD, rocky, or murky depending on the area)….but they are all sure beautiful. 😊

    a comment. You are all brilliant, heartwarming and genuine people! As a
    retired career food industry worker from Chef (professional, private
    and catering) to restaurant industry worker (from line-worker to
    management) I want to congratulate Atlanta on her 'Atlanta's Kitchen'
    project a very well done. I also want to encourage her to keep up the
    good work she obviously has the skills for it! Denzel you are a delight
    with all your slap-stick and exuberance a highlight of everything you
    do! Sam and Nadine you and your family are a uplifting highlight to
    thousands of viewers myself included! I love your interest in exchanging
    cultural differences, ideas and experiences truly entertaining and
    enlightening. Your approach of curiosity, entertainment and warmth seems a
    rare find these days. Thank you all! Many Blessings!

    This video makes my heart so happy❤️ Each of you seem to hold such joy for life. As a early childhood educator I’m used to watching interactions between kids and their families. When I watch the four of you I see such amazing interaction between you all. I know we only see a bit here and there but it’s not hard to tell when a family is close knit and love each other.
    Growing up our neighbors had a pool and we would play the same kind of game as you with the football. Honestly as an adult my brother and I had to play it a few times to show his kids how to play 😂 that was fun! Anyway I hope your summer was as wonderful as this video seems. I never considered a trip to NZ before but after what you’ve shared with us through your videos I’m sure going to look into it! Lastly I am so sorry about the passing of your mother Sam. Sending love from Indiana!

    That lake looks like one we used to visit in the summer when I was a kid here in California during the 70’s. Everything’s different now though, we didn’t have as many people in the state then. Your neighborhood looks like a lot of suburban neighborhoods here our state, very beautiful indeed. Kylo cam was awesome btw. 😎

    I absolutely love this video, guys! With all the wonderful places and things we have here in the US, I have to say I believe you all are truly living in paradise on earth! Absolutely breathtaking! And Kylo sure has the life my dog can only dream of having. The only time we allow him to run "freely" is in the dog park that's basically a fenced in area of about an acre or two (sometimes 5 when he gets to go to the one in Ft. Worth). I hope you all realize, though, what a truly special, blessed, and wonderful life you have there. Please definitely include more of these videos. We are all mesmerized and captivated by you all. Much love to each of you from this lone ranger Texan! 💞

    This is great. Some day you will look back at these films as memories of how young your children were in those days. Having easy access to filming in these days is completely different from when I was a kid about Atlanta's age and my dad would take home movies on an 8mm spring-wound film camera. When we returned from our vacations, we would need to send the film in for processing. When it came back, (perhaps two weeks later), we would set up our projector and screen to watch ourselves once again. Today, it's point and shoot, with instant playback. Sixty years difference in technologies that, at the time, were the cutting edge for home use.
    My brother took all of our old films and had them transferred into a DVD so we could watch them today. I never see my dad, as he was the official photographer. But to see us kids at that young age makes me feel old. Also, so many people in the films are now long gone. All of my grandparents, most of my aunts and uncles, one of my brothers and my dad. My mom is still with us, but she is in a nursing home because she has dementia and can't remember much any longer. For example, I spoke with her the other day on the telephone, and although I've been married 37 years and have four grandchildren of my own, she will still ask if I'm married, or if I like my work, although I've been retired since 2010. It's so sad, yet I'm happy that she's still alive.
