The grandparents are back in Kerala - and we visited this amazing zoo near Kannur

- After we said goodbye to my sister Nina in Goa, Annika was quite upset that she won't get to see her aunty for a long time. But her sadness was short lived. Soon after we reached our home in Kerala, it was time for the grandparents to visit. So one fine morning in March, Annika was surprised to see her dada & dadi in the house. We love it every time they visit us from Jaipur and Annika was ecstatically showing them all her toys. While they were here we visited a "pet station" at Matttool beach near Kannur. It was fascinating to see so many exotic bird species in this part of the world, and needless to say, we loved the family outing. So that's what this video is about. I hope you enjoy it too :)

Hello Johanna Vinod and Annika 👧🏻hello dada and dadi so beautiful enjoy time together 🌞🌻👋👋👧🏻
Anikka has grown so much. Love it when Vinod’s parents are over. ❤
Really nice to Dada and Dadi back. They miss Annika a lot I suppose😊. And she is growing up to be a pretty girl❤🎉. Annika really looks elegant in the dress. All the best Johanna ❤
Unfortunately in our family situation we all always have to miss each other! But we try to see regularly enough 😊
So nice to see Annika playing with her.grandparents
annika has such a love and curiosity for animals! So cute to see her interactions with them!
It's nice to see Annika after a long long time.
She’s such an artistic little soul.
Johanna is looking so different with this dark hair 🤎 gorgeous 😍 always love to watch your family ❣️ give my blessings to little Annika 💐💌🧿
Thanks a lot. I’m trying to get back to my natural colour and initially the colour got quite dark but now it’s quite faded into a lighter brown 😊 but good to hear this was nice too! I had almost black hair for 15 years of my life 😅
2 weeks no vedio😢... We missed you guys😢...
Happy to see grandparents with annika😊❤
I’ve been taking it very easy with my channel for the past weeks and trying to focus more on my mental health and trying to figure out a good balance with those things. It’s good to know there are some people out there who will be missing the videos and be happy when I get to post a new one ❤ next video will be another family video too! Even if i take some time with getting it posted 😊
@@JohannaNorth Health comes first, all other stuffs can wait😊 Take care of urself so that we can enjoy happy and cheerful vedios😄
And of course we will miss you in your absence,coz u all are like an extended family for us🤗
Annika loves animals & birds it' s lovely to watch her interaction with them
I think birds are her spirit animals, especially eagles which she keeps saying she dreams about every night 😊❤
Annika you are sooooo sweet.
Annika is so so so cute and looks like her daadi❤
It's fun to hear Annika speaking alot lately.. Growing so fast❤
Dad and Mum are the sweetest. Dad and son look alike. Annika talks lovely Hindi and English
So nice baby Annika
😅dadi,dadha wow Annika lion share bangayee varey vahh ,annika ka ko aunti stylish bandiya wow ❤
Ohhhhhh Animals and grandparents. Bless little Annika's BEAUTIFUL life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ she is blessed. ❤ Johanna I did read a previous comment about animal cruelty at the zoo. I also received such comments when I posted vids and pics about India. I think there's a lot of difference in the standards of animal treatment in the East compared to that in certain parts of Europe. But I also see that in the treatment of children too. I guess acceptance is a very difficult thing as it involves emotion ❤ I hope many people watch your videos so they can see how well you treat Annika. You are a very good example of a mother ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very sad to see the desperate animals stuck in cages . In a way the concept of a Zoo is very sad.
Not all the animals were desperate or all the cages bad though. Even many pet animals live in cages and wont really survive out in the nature. But definitely some of the animals here had very sad living conditions and especially the bird section had a very stressful environment. Zoos could be good too, but they need to follow sustainable, ethical practises.
Annika is like a little cute lion cub❤❤❤
Annika is too adorable 🥰
There is a drive-in beach in Kannur
So lovely to see Annika's grandparents with you all again . Some family time is so special. Annika clearly enjoying every moment. She's such a lovely child. ❤🎉
It's a wonderful time to play with DaDa and Dadi ❤❤ she is doing great 👍👍 Annika 😘😘🧿🧿
Annika on niin eläinrakas. 😍 Ihana tyyppi. Onko teillä ketään suomen kielisiä ystäviä siellä Keralassa? Varmasti aika harvinaista. Yks suomalainen sosiaalisen median vaikuttaja Anniina Vivian asuu Keralassa.
Ei meillä täällä Keralassa ole ketään, vaikka joo tiedän kyllä Anniinan. Mutta mulla on whatsapp-ryhmä muutaman muun Intiassa asuvan, intialaisen kanssa naimisissa olevan suomalaisen äiti-ihmisen kanssa 😊 olisi kyllä tosin kiva jos asuttaisiin alueella, jossa olisi mahdollista edes joitain muita ei-intialaisia tapailla kasvotusten, mutta olen melko varma että olen ainoa täällä päin 😅
waiting for video from long time
Where have you been sis these many days😢..no videos ?..... Missed you sis💙... How are you all doing there? And so happy to see that dada dadi are back🎉

@@JohannaNorth sis you are awesome 💙🤞
Lovely vlog..❤
Sad for the animals in cage
First of all We have to think twice before commenting on anything, especially when we criticize others or when we give negative comments about others.
We must understand that these are all pets (Pet station ) and domestic animals, not captured from the wild. If we free them it will be a miserable life outside for those animals. I personally visited that place and I also met the pet station owner. He is a great pet lover and also a great human being...
I know that they are giving fly time for all their birds and not keeping 24/7 in that small cage. I am sure they are taking care of their pets better than us
About Stress level, Every creature in this universe has stress including human beings.....Just think about Wild animals in the jungle...living life in the jungle is not easy for them every day/minute is challenging for them.(don't want to go in details) At least I am sure in petstation ( I am talking about only Pet Station,not sure about other places) they will be getting time to time food/treatment etc but I am not denying the fact that they do not have any stress..certainly they will be under stress but that is life...According to me it is a great place for all the pets.
Just love seeing Annika’s interactions and love for animals melts my heart. And I love hearing when she in Hindi. Happy to have grandparents visiting again. Such a joyful video.❤️😍🥰
Dadu dadi and Annika so innocent and happy, god bless you all 😊
I like that Annika's idea for all the animals she saw today is to be free and be in the open.
ANNIKA ... SUPER more outing vloggg from KERALA 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
How loving and friendly your are Annika!! Roar!! You have such a wonderful imagination and a wonderful sense of play! Your bond with dadi and dada is so beautiful to see. You are such a special and beautiful little girl and I love watching you grow and explore the world around you. Hugs and kisses dear Annika.❤❤
You’re right, we’re often quite stunned at how rich and vivid her imagination already is and we cant even figure out where she gets half the things she comes up with! Just the other day I put a dress on her and she decided (for the first time ever) that now she is a princess and she needs a tiara too and all, while we never ever call her a princess and dont remember ever even showing her any princess related cartoons or such because we specifically avoid giving her that girls are princesses imagery 😅❤
Who knows where Annika picked up being a princess, but I think this is just the start of many different things that Annika will come up with. I just adore her and all of you!!❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Very sweet . Just love watching. Gives happiness and positivity ❤

Annika 👧🏻enjoys all the animals 🦌🐈⬛🦜🦒🐖🐠🐠beautiful 😘🌻👋🌻👋🌻👧🏻
With my best wishes to you on indipendent day of India. congratulations
Love the grandfather
You can always count on dadu offering some comedic relief in stressful situations 😄🙏
Such a beautiful little Annika she loves animals love you guys vlogs ❤
Such a sute videoo💖
But sad to see those animals and birds cramped in a small space. They all look lifeless 💔💔
Believe it or not, just yesterday I was thinking..hmm haven't "seen" Annika in a while .. And there she is. In my inbox!! Thanks. I know there are edits but, Up until 2:20 I was beginning to worry.. grandparents.. Just arrived. No rest and no tea 😂 immediately started playing..
Zoos, yeah, always a weird feeling. Like is they harm more than they help..
On a side note, it's good to see how daring and totally unafraid she is around animals...
Stay cool in the kerela steamer of weather..❤ to Annika
You manifested the video then! I was unsure until Sunday morning if I’d be able to post a video but here it is 😅
I think zoos can only be a good thing if operated in a sustainable and ethical manner! Like they do in this one Paithalmala eco resort if you’ve seen my earlier video from that place!😊
Annika is so generous with sharing & seems such a satisfaction for her Johanna. She is developing so fast. That was a wonderful video. The trampoline was special. I love your new hair venture J. So good to have gramma & grampa back in Annika's life for awhile. Much love to you all from uncle Blair. 💋❤
One of her favourite ”games” is that first we have to fight with her about some item or another and try to claim it for ourselves and in the end she resolves the fight by saying ”we share” 😅❤
Missed your vlogs

@@JohannaNorth I keep checking on your UA-cam channel , does anything post often .I still remember I discovered your channel in covid time , that you just announced pregnancy. Now Annika is 2 years old , I feel really happy to see this. Much love from Malappuram , another part of Kerala
Hi Johanna, i watch all your videos nd njoy a lot .. Arnika brings smile to my face. Today while watching this video i was smiling till the end.. Btw you look georgeous in black outfit. Watching from Kuwait. waiting for your next video
So great to hear that! Hope you had a very happy Sunday 🙏
I am so sad, to See These Pool animals!
Great videos. Annika is blessed to have her grandparents there.
Annika understands things better as she grows up. Used to be cranky. Patience is the key I guess.
Nice vedio anika is so happy with her grand parents she is not only happy outside inside house also she looks happy once the child hood went it won't come back she can learn many things from her grandparents parents❤
Johanna you are good looks on Indian dress
Animals are very active. They seem to have exhaust fans. They cannot provide AC for animals as it may disrupt their circadian rhythm
Hello Everyone’s good Morning ………I’m can’t wait happy see to the watch your vlogs Missing Since now 😣🥺because We Loved to see your Vlogs yes of course ……….

Johanna looking better your Hair change Color Auburn’s nice ……👌🏽 Amazing Annika enjoyed love Zoo Parking Very nice … Annika happy together Grandpa and parents enjoyed trips …….stay health and stay strong 💪🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🤲🏼🤩💐😍
Annika loves nature so much :)
Very sad to see birds and animals kept in cages for people's pleasure. That is not where they belong. Really pathetic
So many of the animals, birds and fish are too cramped and confined in small enclosures. 😢
At the entry the animals seemed to have a decent amount of space for themselves, and again closer to the exit where most of the parrots and such were, but especially the bird section where most of the outdoors/wild(?) birds were it was quite a stressful environment 😕
Annika is Amazing mix blue flowers dress so Beautiful Nice 👍🏼 🤩 😍💝🌸🍄💫
She growing fast
Anika is happy to engage with the animals. She isn’t at all afraid of them.
Lovely experience for Annika,great memories too for the grandparents,
Your family was missed!Johanna are you expecting?
Annika is now 2 yr old .
Wow nice to see the daughter in law with her in laws
Annlka so cute 🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌
Hello
My home is at the opposite street from the main road. Until about 5 years ago, this beach was only visited by us locals and sometimes by our guests. The change is mesmerising and scary at the same time.
We have tried to visit there, even if just for the play zone and beach, a couple of times other than this, but haven’t been able to as it’s soooo crowded that all the roads there are completely blocked and we’re just stuck there in those sandy narrow paths not able to drive forward, or reverse because the line behind us still gets getting longer and of course not being able to turn around anywhere as the ”roads” dont allow it. It’s too bad, the play zone is the best we’ve found at a reasonable driving distance from our home. But we’re too nervous of that kind of traffic and crowds to even try to drive there anymore 😅 this wasn’t an issue at all on this first visit that we made in this vlog so you cant see it on the video. i can only imagine how it is for you guys who have homes there!
@@JohannaNorth no I don’t have to endure the said traffic. It’s in the opposite non-beach-side from Mattool main road. On the river side. (Mattool is a long stretch with sea on one side and river on the other. The river and sea meet at it’s end making it a little peninsula).
I think if you visit on weekdays or non holidays the traffic will be much better. Try reaching around 3 PM and leave by 5.30ish as well.
You said our place is at a reasonable drive from where you live. Which is your place? Have you tried the “Kayal Theeram” restaurant? It’s in Mattool itself. You will get good seafood. Go there and try “Chemballi pollicath”. And the restaurant has a decent play area where you kid can enjoy as well.
I said it before Annika is fearless around animals. Love seeing her have so much fun 😁. And I love your hair color ! You look amazing
Yeah it’s pretty great that she’s so comfortable with nature’s creatures, without unnecessary fears or inhibitions like I often am! 😅 and thank you, i’m trying to get my hair colour back to my natural one. It came off quite a bit too dark initially, now it’s already faded quite a lot but this was nice too and I actually had think kind of dark hair for 15 years before coming to India 😊
Nice to see dada n dadi😊
Looking forward to seeing them again soon! 😊
Adorable Anika . ❤❤
Adorable Annika baby
Surprise 😮❤😊
I wonder whether Vinod ever speaks in Haryanvi with Annika just as Johanna would in Finnish
Vinod's native language is Hindi which Annika speaks as well as any other native Hindi speaking child of her age in India :)
Thanks for the clarification@@JohannaNorth I gues then for Annika it will be Hindi Finnish Malayalam English
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kannur..? Malayali..?
Annika is super cute ❤❤❤
Is it a zoo?😢
I dont find zoo an accurate word really, but i used it for lack of a better one!
the title to the video 'amazing zoo' is a misnomer, since the animals were kept is such a bad environment
Like i said in the video too, i agree that for a big number of the animals there the conditions were not good at all in a small metal/plastic cage. But as a whole the beach, zoo and play zone area was amazing, but saying it in so many words in a title doesnt unfortunately work well and this place is mostly known for the zoo so thats the word that i used in the title in the end, even though i agree that they could develop the living conditions for the animals. 🙏
Heartbreaking is the word. Not amazing
How old is Anika?
Annika turns 3 in Feb, but in this video I think she was roughly 2 years 2 months old.
Please atleast upload one video per week.
Petstation?

🎉🎉🎉🎉
Allah and India. It's not sand desert 😂
😂😂😂😂wtf
@@mr.sharma6504 allah means god
This zoo seems like hell for animals and birds, authorities must take action immediately to close such hell like zoos 😡😡😡😡😡
The conditions were quite decent for some of the animals, but definitely for others it could be a lot better. The bird section with the small cages (not the parrot zone) had quite a stressful environment 😕
@@JohannaNorth this is your nobility to say that conditions were quite decent,but for me it was worse than hell👈
@@hemantdubey619Its not a zoo. Its a pet station.
@@arjunraj823 I have only heard of Railway station, playstation etc etc👈🤣🤣
@@hemantdubey619 There is a big pet shop with so much exotic things even ostriches. Zoos are govt controlled and its only in Trivandrum.
Annika is one fine actor 😂❤❤❤❤
