- Myndi got mad at me for going under the speed limit,
and now I am probably getting a ticket for speeding.
(upbeat music)
(kids screaming)
♫ Lift off
- [Bailey] So disgusting.
♫ Is it about time
♫ I need to move y'all
♫ Unrestrained, come alive
♫ I'm on the chain
♫ Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
- Hey guys it's Bailey and Daxton,
and welcome to another episode of
- [Both] Behind the Braids.
- So in today's episode, you are going to see us
go to the first day of school.
so if you guys didn't know, Brooklyn and I are now seniors.
Which means it was our first day of senior year,
and Daxton, you are going into what grade?
- Fourth grade.
- Fourth grade, and how was yur first day of school?
- I think it was good.
- It was good?
Yeah, we had a great first day.
We did senior walk.
We got to visit with all our friends
we haven't seen in awhile, and then we also
got to meet our teachers and just kinda have a chill day
because senior year is really chill.
- And we all got nice teachers, hopefully.
- Yes, we all had nice teachers, hopefully.
And in this episode, you are also gonna see us
go on our very last summer trip,
which was to Lake Powell. - Lake Powell.
- [Bailey] We went tubing.
We went waterskiing.
- We saw a big giant yacht when we went tubing,
and we almost got drowned.
- Yes, it was awesome.
We had so much fun.
We were all waterlogged by the end of the week,
so you guys are gonna get to watch that.
But before we go on to the video,
Brooklyn and I are going on tour this October.
We are so pumped to be able to sing in front of you guys,
and hopefully you guys have bought your tickets.

We wanna see you guys so bad.
Now, let's go on to the video.
(police sirens)
(light music)
- Yeah, we're starting our vacation off with a bang.
We drove four hours south of Salt Lake City through
a crazy rainstorm which never does in southern Utah.
It's like a complete desert.
It hardly ever rains.
And then, Sean...
He was driving like a grandpa earlier today, and...
- Mindy got mad at me for going under the speed limit,
and now I'm probably getting a ticket for speeding.
- Only I don't think, realistically, none of us saw
a speed limit, and we've never been here, so I don't know,
but you can see Mr. Copper back there.
So we just got done with Ranger Hart,
and he gave Sean a ticket.
- Down here at Lake Powell, I can't be...
- Lake Powell, first day of a vacay,
six kids in the car, never been here before.
- No speed limit signs.
- We look seriously threatening, I know.
- The speed limit wasn't posted yet.
- Ignorance is bliss, until you get a ticket.
So, yeah, there you go.
- And we're at the gas station, and it is a legit cave.
You can see it's in the mountain.
- [Brooklyn] Mind blown.
- [Bailey] Well, we are like maybe
half an hour away from Lake Powell, ready to go.
- [Brooklyn] I hope we're in the right place.
- Super excited, it's gonna be a fun weekend.
Aright, good morning guys.
So, it's our first morning on the boat,
and we are about to leave the dock.
We are so excited.
We've got seven days worth of boating to do,
so we're ready to go.
Goodbye, dock.
- [Shaun] Woah, what are you doing?
- Driving.
- [Shaun] Driving what?
- The house boat.
- [Shaun] You're driving the house boat?
- See those black rocks back there?
That's where we're going.
- [Shaun] We're going to where?
- The black rocks back there.
- [Shaun] The black rocks?
Okay, and you're driving us?
That's really scary.
- Okay, so I'm gonna take you guys on a tour of the boat.
So you got one bed here, bathroom.
Two beds down there, and there.
Bedroom up here, kitchen, bathroom, kitchen.
Sitting area, front deck.
And we're gonna go up the stairs.
(upbeat music)
- [Bailey] Okay, they're chucking the kayak
off the roof of the boat.
- [Paisley] Flying kayak!
- [Bailey] I suppose that's efficient enough.
♫ We're in free fall
♫ La la la la
♫ We're in free fall
♫ La la la la la
♫ We're in free fall
♫ La la la la la
♫ We're in free fall
- [Bailey] Paisley's gonna try and surf with Ally.
Let's see how this goes.
- [Shaun] Ready?
- Okay go.
- [Bailey] Look at her chubby cheeks.
(girls screaming)
- [Bailey] Yeah Paisley!
It's Daxton's turn to try and see
if he can be as good as Paisley.
My cheeks would be doing the same thing.
Nice Daxton!
- [Brooklyn] You did it Dax!
(upbeat music)
- [Bailey] Nice, nice, nice, there you go, there you go!
- [Bailey] So what just happened, Rylan?
- I just caught a huge fish, unintentionally.
- [Shaun] Come here kitty, kitty.
- [Bailey] He's a really ugly cat fish, but he is ginormous.
That is a big fish!
(girls shouting)
(water splashing)
- [Shaun] Yeah!
Good job, Brooklyn.
- [Kids] One, two, three!
(kids screaming)
- [Shaun] She did well.
Good job, Kam, yeah!
Two, one, go!
(kids screaming)
- [Bailey] There's Brooklyn, doing some repelling today.
♫ It's so good
♫ Do you know, know your real motivation
♫ Daylight is coming to you
♫ So good
♫ Move on from a bad situation
♫ Be strong
♫ Its so good
- [Bailey] Check out this view in the evening.
Sunset.
♫ So good
♫ You and me need to have a conversation
♫ There's a future for you
- Guys, so It's Friday, and we are heading out on a hike,
but when we drove up, we saw what?
- A rock fall.
- From right there.
It like came tumbling down from right there.
So this is going to be quite the interesting hike.
We also heard from one of our cousins that they ran into
quick sand on one of their hikes, so...
This is going to be very interesting and fun.
We'll see how this goes.
This is where we're supposed to go, but like look at what...
Its so gross it's actually bubbling.
This is so disgusting!
The worst part is that its cold and you can feel
all the nastiness on your feet below.
Okay, okay, okay, and we are out!
Holy crap, what just happened?
That was disgusting.
- [Brooklyn] What just happened?
- There was nothing on the other side.
They just crossed the water for nothing,
but it's definitely a memory maker,
and that's the best part about this.
- We are roasting marshmallows,
and this is like our last official night here.
- Fire started by me and Cameron.
- Bailey started the fire.
Girl power.
Alex did nothing.
- Supervised, I supervised.
- And we are roasting marshmallows.
And we're super excited.
It's like a different kind of camping,
because we're so used to camping,
but this is like boat camping.
We just have started a fire right on the shore
where we docked, and it's been so fun.
We've done a lot of fun stuff.
We tubed, we jet skied, hiked, everything.
It's been a really exciting day.
(upbeat music)
- Hey guys, so it's our last day on the boat,
and I'm trying to...
Why are we so quiet?
We are trying to pull the boat in.
However, we got like five feet from the dock
and a ginormous storm hit, so the wind is insane.
Everyone is tucked inside and we're all yelling
like crazy trying to figure everything out.
We went up stairs, ran really quick
once we figured out (mumbles)
and we were trying to get it down, but there were
giant sails in the air, so we had to like tie those down,
but one of them got blown away, so we had
to have a wave runner go get it, anywho.
It's very scary.
We're just trying to figure everything out right now,
and hopefully we get in safely.
If not we'll just wait the storm out, and hope for the best.
(boat engines running)
- Good morning.
It is the first day of school.
What is it, 6:15, 6:10 in the morning,
and Mindy is up getting babies ready.
The twins have been up for a little while,
and I'm down here trying to get some
hot breakfast made for them.
It's the day of the Solar eclipse, too,
so we've got a lot going on today.
We'll give you a peek at some of the things
we're doing on our first day of school, alright?
(bright music)
- Hi guys, this is Paisley.
And it's our first day of school!
I love it.
- Hey guys, this is Daxton on the first day of school,
and if it's your first day of school,
I hope you have a great day on the first day of school,
and a great teacher.
- [Mindy] It's the first day of Rylan going to, drumroll...
(drumroll)
Middle school!
How are you feeling?
Nervous, worried?
- No, not really.
It's the same.
It's literally the same.
- [Mindy] The school is set up exactly like
the intermediate school, and in our district,
they are already rotating in fifth grade,
so it's not a lot of big changes for Rylan.
Kamri starts ninth grade, though.
High school, Kamri, are you nervous?
- No, I just feel really...
- I was just saying that she's probably not nervous
because she's had Bailey and I to like,
follow in the footsteps of.
Yeah, we prepped her.
Whereas Bailey and I just went into it blind.
We never had anybody.
- [Mindy] And you guys set such good impressions
with all your teachers.
- Yeah, they'll love you.
- You're welcome.
- [Shaun] Alright, what are you thinking?
- I think... yeah.
- [Shaun] Getting ready to go get on the bus.
Your first day of seventh grade.
- Yup.
- [Shaun] What do you think about that?
- Nothing, it's just the same.
- [Shaun] You're gonna be a sevvy.
- Yep.
- [Shaun] Alright, we'll see you.
- Bye.
Alright, this is the last first day
of school for these kiddos.
I'll show you a clip right now...
- Of the first day of High School.
- Well, but, of your like youth childhood experience.
- Why?
- I'll show you guys a clip right now of them when they
were in kindergarten going to the first day of school.
(bright music)
- [Mindy] What's going on today?
- We're going to school.
- [Mindy] Brooklyn, come around so I can see you tell me.
You're going to school?
- Yes.
- [Mindy] To what?
- So that we can learn.
- [Mindy] Is today the first day?
- Yes.
- [Mindy] How do you feel?
- This is what my friend gave me, and it's pens.
- [Mindy] Cool.
Cool, put it down.
What do you get to do to get to school?
- [Brooklyn] Ride the bus.
- [Mindy] Bailey?
- Ride the bus.
- [Mindy] Are you excited?
- Yes.
- [Mindy] Show me your cute backpacks.
(bright music)
- [Mindy] Move, Bai, so I can see Brooklyn's.
Are they heavy?
- Yes.
- [Mindy] Why?
- Because they've got our school supplies.
- [Mindy] Hold still, Brooklyn.
- I can't.
- No, they got on the bus and they were happy.
- Bye mom.
- And they looked like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
with their big old backpacks on their back,
right, and here they are.
This is their last day of first school.
- [Mindy] First and last day.
- [Shaun] This is the last one.
- Yeah, my ride's coming.
- [Shaun] You're ride's coming?
- Yes, they're coming down the street.
- [Shaun] Oh, nice.
Have a good first day.
- Thanks.
- [Mindy] This is Kamri's tradition with Lillykins
to come and get pictures on the first day of school.
- [Shaun] Lily was her first friend, ever.
- You know what, I moved here in fifth grade.
- [Shaun] Yeah she had no friends before fifth grade.
So thank you Lily.
- Okay guys, so we just had senior breakfast,
and we took a bunch of really cute pictures,
but we are about to walk senior walk
and this is basically like a symbol of us
walking into the school as a senior for the last first day,
and then walking out of the school on the last day
of school, representing that we are...
- Score!
- Done with high school.
It's crazy that we're seniors, but I'm so ready.
- Don't cry.
(teens screaming)
(upbeat music)
- Bye!
- [Friend] Bye guys!
- We're looking at the sun, through specialized glasses,
So our retinas don't burn out.
- [Shaun] Is this the first time we've ever seen one?
I think we've seen partials, right, but we've never seen...
- There's been partials I've actually seen.
- [Shaun] Yeah.
- We're supposed to get 75% coverage.
That's pretty good.
- [Shaun] 75?
There it is, this little teeny tiny thing there.
- The kids are back from their first day of school.
They're just coming in the door.
Hi guys!
How was your first day of school?
- Good.
- Good?
How was the solar eclipse?
- It was fun.
The solar eclipse you have to wear special glasses.
- Yeah you did, huh?
- Yeah.
- Daxton, how about you?
How was the solar eclipse for you?
- It was good, but he's mad that he didn't
get to look at it longer.
- Awe, well it sounds like they
had a good first day of school.
- Look who just got back.
It's like 5:30, almost 6:00 or so,
from vollyball practice tryouts.
It's tryouts, right?
- Tryouts, but they go for three more days.
- How many girls tried out?
- 40.
- 40 girls, and how many girls are gonna make the team?
- 30 to 36.
- But that's because there's three teams.
- Yeah, three teams.
- Okay, because you won't be playing much on a court
if there's only six girls on a court
and there's 36 to 38 on a team, right?
- There's 10 to 12 on a team.
- How was your first day of seventh grade?
- [Paisley] Hi.
- Fine.
- Yeah?
- See anybody interesting?
- No.
- You know what I mean by interesting?
- Yes, I know.
- No, nobody interesting.
- How did you guys like the video?
- Wasn't that fun?
It was definitely fun, so fun being a senior.
Now it's a little bit surreal.
I kind of forget sometimes.
I'm like, oh yeah, this is my last year.
This is the last of everything.
It was our last first day, and it was crazy.
We also had so much fun at Lake Powell.
