Thanks for taking us along on your trip to Anna Maria Island, Jeannine! I always enjoy these vacation destinations with your sweet family. Hope all of you are feeling better!❤️🙏
You vacation looked really nice. I could use some prayers. I fell/slipped in our bathroom. I did the spilts. I’m 53 and have MS and Fibro and doing the splits isn’t in my current range of activities. Currently hard to sit and stand. Laying down is the best, but not great either. I would so appreciate your prayers!!
I so enjoyed watching your trip to Ana Maria Island in my home state of Florida. I loved seeing your son's joy of seeing the pelican and his sheer exhilaration in the Gulf waters. We live in Cape Coral, Florida about 2 hours south of where you visited. Our town is still recovering from the direct hit from Hurricane Ian. We have lived here for 16 years and Ian was the first bad hurricane we experienced. Thanks be to God!!!
Xander’s big infectious smile makes me smile. Now if only he can channel some of that energy my way. Lol. Lexi’s adorable. Looks like a nice little getaway! We live in the mountains of Southern California and it’s going to get down to 12 degrees, so I’m a little jealous. 😊 Hope everyone is feeling better. Congratulations on selling the pictures!
Thank you for introducing us to Anna Marie Island. It looks like a great place to visit.The photos you took of the Air B&B were so beautiful , no wonder the owner loved them and you were able to finance the rent. I hope she gets alot of business because of the photos. She thought of everything when prepping for families with children. I hope your family is on the road to recovery, its so disheartening when illness can ruin a vacation. I'm glad to see you and your sweet family again after the break from You Tube. It surely can be tiring and I'm happy to see a new Vlog.
I love when you take us along in your videos. You do an amazing job and tell us how to go places on q tight budget. I hope all is well with the family. So glad to see you back on RU-vid. See you next time.
I love the fact that both kids names come from the base root name of Alexander/ Alexandria Both of which are family names in our family going back centuries
I’m glad you all had a good time. It is hard when babies aren’t feeling the best. They can’t tell you what is wrong. I’m so happy you are back! God bless you and your family!
I loved this video! But I love all your videos! I love seeing your sweet family. Xander has an amazing imagination, and he's so much fun to watch! And your baby girl is just precious! I now want to go to Anna Marie Island. Thank you for sharing and I'm so happy you're back!!
What a beautiful little place you got to stay in! Would you be able to share a link to the air bnb you stayed at in Switzerland? I'm looking for one for our 25th Anniversary coming up!
Anna Marie Island is so beautiful. Your little home away from home looked so cozy. Beautiful video and hopefully everyone is feeling good. Love love Zanders energy!!!❤
What a beautiful place! I know you were probably ready to go home due to illness, but that looked like a place where I would just want to stay, relax, and explore. Thanks so much for taking us along to such a beautiful place. Your drone shots were breathtaking!
I'm crying right now. I miss home so much but after 59 years of living through Hurricanes I just couldn't do another storm. But oh yeah I miss the sand and the smell of the salty water more than I thought I did. My home town was directly hit by Ian last year. Seeing so many places on the beach completely wiped away I was devastated for my loved ones still there but glad they survived. While I do miss home I don't think I could deal with going back to see the destruction still being cleaned up if it ever gets cleaned up. Glad you loved the beaches in Florida.
That a nice little give away. We are on the longest trip we have ever done in our life. So we live in AB Canada. We went to Thialand are currently in Greece and will be going to Germany then back home. It's been amazing. If I had a RU-vid channel I could share with all of you but now you'll just have to imagine what that is like. All that traveling in 16 days. It's intense but it's been worth it
Enjoyed the trip along with y'all. It's amazing there. Welcome back. Laughter is such a blessing from y'all. Beautiful there. Truly enjoy this video and so happy y'all are back. Prayers and ❤️❤️🙏🙏🛐🛐✝️✝️
So glad to see you all back. Xander has grown SO much oh my goodness, Lexi is such a beauty. Even the illness will make it to the memory books. Good times, thanks for sharing.
I loved your music choices! Flying was so hard on our daughter cause of her ears and the cabin pressure…. It was so very cool to join in your fun…and relaxing to see and hear the waves❤️😃
Poor wee Lexi looks so poorly, Xander is the best big brother. You look like you had an amazing time despite some travails. Love Anna Marie island, the beaches are amazing. We stay on the next island - Siesta Key. Hope the family are feeling better.
So fantastic to see you again! Think of you and your family often . This was delightful and you always inspire Me. May the Lord Continue to protect And provide !!!
My husband and I went there 39 years ago on our honey moon. Well actually we just went at night and it was raining but I do have a picture of me next to the Anna Maria sign. My Name is Anna Marie so my husband thought I should!
What a wonderful video for your family to look back upon and remember all the special moments you so beautifully caught on film - well done in spite of sicknesses! Some of my favorites "snaps" - Zander joyfully playing on the beach and in the water, his colorful face after eating the Superman ice cream lol, baby toes in the sun, beautiful family photos, gorgeous sunset and full beach shots, Lexi finally peacefully sleeping against Dad's chest on the plane, your beautiful pics of the little house & what a wonderfully thoughtful hostess she was! One of the most special (and definitely "enlarge & frame worthy") is the last shot of you holding Lexi up in the air, both of you smiling into each others' eyes with love - what a beautiful mother/daughter moment to treasure 🥰 Huge thanks to all of you for taking us along on your family trip - hope you are all feeling better. God's blessings!
Hey Jeannine I know the struggle of short trips and having little kids. It's alot and you feel as though is it worth packing and hauling everything with kids for 2 days. But it does make memories for the older kids. I'm glad the lady liked your photos!! What a blessing! Yay! I was wondering what stroller you have there in your video? I'm going to be in the market for a jogger stroller here soon and I can't decide and yours looks nice. Have a blessed weekend!! ❤
Yes! I believe it's the baby jogger city mini gt2. I researched into them and it was a good in-between stroller for travel yet could handle gravel and we love it! We found ours used on marketplace
@The Mennonite Mom oh awesome! Thats cool thank you very much! I'll look into it! I like a good stroller that can do most terrains and not be a huge struggle to steer it. Ha!
Nice to see you back. Love watching your channel. Nicely surprised to hear Strahan's song Deliverance as your choice of music. A great Kiwi artist and inspiration. Please put NZ on your places to visit. 😊
Good to see you, and you did find one of Florida's hidden gems. We really do have a lot of them but your right not at spring break or bike week, the traffic and people are multiplied by ten during the whole month of March....
Digging a hole in the sand could be dangerous. I know it wasn't that big, but as a mom I needed to alert you. Here is a video about what happened to an 18 year-old young man. Love from Puerto Rico. God bless! 18-year-old dies while digging hole in sand on N.J. beach
I wish I looked as cute as Lexi does when I'm in a bad mood. 😄 She's adorable! Xander's joy when running on the beach was beautiful. I'm so sorry you experienced sickness while you were on this trip, but you're a very good sport in spite of everything.
We live just a half hour drive from Anna Maria Island! It is beautiful! And there is culture here. You just have to know where to look. I have a friend whose family settled here 3 generations back from me and I'm 68. I also have three friends whose fami😅 settled the central Florida area. I'm first generation. But we were here pre-Disney. Glad you enjoyed your trip, albeit short. Your photography is amazing!
We have same bug in our house right now seems very harsh on kids. we had strep flu and covid test seems just to be a bad bug. just Love that house and all its features and owner seems very sweet. so glad you could go, and everything come out in your favor. Feel better soon Lexi and Mom. Be Blessed.
What a lovely little trip with your beautiful family. Haven't been away in a while but felt like I went along. Thank you so much for all the tips and info. You really put together a beautiful trip for your sweet family.
Don't you miss going in that beautiful water on such a lovely day. I would be diving head first, and I wouldn't be able to keep out. Always love your videos. Thanks for coming back and sharing 💛 from 🇨🇦
As always I loved your travel video. Zander can find excitement everywhere, he just loves life! 💞. I’m so sorry you and Lexi were under the weather..Bummer! Your husband is such a good daddy, so patient and caring. And what great information about traveling on a budget…way to go!! I hope by now you are all doing better..I’m thinking maybe you all picked up a bug on the plane, hope all is well now!
