(upbeat music)
(boat motor noises)
- Fire! (firework boom noise)
(crowd cheering)
(upbeat music)
- Today we are going on a little adventure.
I just woke up
and,
I figured out that we are going
to get Covid tested,
well tested for Covid antibodies actually,
specifically,
because,
you know,
we were really, really sick a few months ago
and we have a sneaking suspicion
that it could potentially have been,
the beginnings of when covid was coming out
but,
it could have also been just a really bad strand of the flu.
We don't know
but we thought it would be kinda cool
to go get tested for covid antibodies
and figure out whether or not we actually had it.
Whether or not we should've been worried
or just so we know, ya know?
So,
we'll let you know
and we'll show you the whole process.
We are on our way to the doctor's appointment.
I'm pretty sure they just prick your finger
but that's why you don't see Bailey here today
because Bailey is,
literally terrified of needles of any sort.
In January,
we did,
we were traveling all over the place for work,
we had 2 meetups with like,
hundreds of people that we were,
meeting and touching.
A little bit after that,
I got,
so, so, so sick.
I was in bed with like 103 degree fever.
I was coughing, hacking, sore throat,
runny nose like,
like every symptom ever.
I was so tired,
I literally couldn't lift my hands above my head,
like it was impossible.
- And of course we all thought it was the flu.
- Yeah, naturally,
we thought it was the flu. - Because
So I went into the doctor and got tested
and tested negative for the flu
and negative for strep.
They pretty much just sat there and told me like,
"I have no idea what you have."
Then Kamri got sick.
- Meantime, meanwhile,
I got sick about like,
I think it was right as the twins got sick,
maybe a couple days earlier
but I went in,
well I was sick for like a week,
I decided not to go in yet
and then I finally went in
cause' I got so, so, so sick
and I tested positive for strep
and negative for flu
and literally I just felt so sick
that entire day.
I went to go prank them,
actually I was doing, filming a video,
and I was putting sticky notes
on Bailey's wall
and every 10 minutes I had to sit down
and lay down for 10 minutes
cause' I was just so exhausted
and then I came home.
And previously I've had,
intestinal strep, so he thought it might just be that
but my antibodies just weren't working
so I went back in, switched antibiotics
and tested negative for flu again
cause' they thought I might've gotten that.
And then literally it just took like,
a month to go away
but once I came home,
Daxton and Paisley also got sick that same week
and my dad also got sick
and he had a really bad cough for like a month so.
- It could have been just a nasty
strain
of the flu virus
that didn't show up on tests.
It could have been
but it also could have been covid
because they are saying
that covid's been around since,
who knows when?
December-ish. - December now
We thought,
why not?
Go check it out, see if we had it,
just have the knowledge that
- It's just good to know if we did have it
- Yeah, just have the knowledge so,
that's what we're doing today.
Well,
the appointment is tomorrow.
(Mindy laughing)
Mom scheduled this at 1:00 am last night.
Which is maybe why we,
ended up coming on the wrong day.
No, it's okay.
We can come tomorrow and finish this,
but,
until then.
All right, take two.
We are going.
Day two, to actually our appointment
cause' yesterday was not our appointment
and we're gonna go get tested
so,
today dad is taking us
because my mom has,
stuff to do and meetings and whatever.
- [Shaun] Are you, do you know?
- [Kamri] Yeah?
- [Shaun] Do you have issues with needles?
- [Kamri] No, I just don't want to watch,
it hurts more if you watch.
(clicking noise)
Okay.
- [Shaun] It does look like a pregnancy test.
- [Brooklyn] Oh!
- [Shaun] All right here goes Brooklyn.
- [Nurse] Okay you are BM
(clicking noise)
- Okay we just got tested,
I got my finger pricked right here.
You can see my little,
my little band aid.
(Brooklyn humming nervously)
So they put it in this like little thingy
that looked like,
kind of like a pregnancy test
and they put the blood in there
and they're going to test it right now
to see if we have the antibodies,
tell us whether or not we had covid/have it.
(Brooklyn grunts worriedly)
I hope I don't have it but,
had covid/have it
and,
or, whether or not we did not have it
and they're gonna come tell us in about 15 minutes.
- Dad. - Okay what was it?
- What were the results?
- We were negative!
- [Shaun] Both negative.
- Which means - Both negative.
we both had the nastiest - My hair's so messed up.
of nasty,
of like viruses or something. - A very bad virus
Cause' it wasn't covid.
Which is a good thing. - It's terrible
It's a good thing, that does mean
that we can't go in and donate plasma
or anything so. - Yeah.
- They were excited to help save some lives weren't ya?
- We're off the hook, - Here!
on that one. - Get my blood!
- We're off the hook
but it's negative so,
now we know, now we know,
that we have not had covid,
which is a good thing. - It's good.
- So I decided,
even way before covid to,
do something different this 4th of July and,
we decided to rent a lake house
and try to have just a lake weekend experience
for the 4th of July so,
worked out well because covid,
hit this year and we're basically quarantining
in one spot to go to quarantine in another spot.
My sister and her kids are coming with us
and I guess now my parents
but we are prepping food.
So,
you can just see all the countertops.
Takes a,
small army.
I am working on,
I will show you,
a pasta salad, I'm just prepping it in advance
so you can just have it ready in the fridge.
And it's (door slams) mostly done,
at this point I just need to chop some apples
and some mandarins and dress it
but yeah, that's the craziness right now.
- We are on our way to the lake.
We just went through a crazy storm,
it lasted like,
15 minutes.
It was like wild for those 15 minutes
and now it's perfectly clear.
Look at this, the sky's even blue.
This is our cousin, Kylie.
- Hey
They decided to come down with us for the 4th
and celebrate together kind of just isolated
from everyone else, so yeah that's what we're doing.
- Okay so we are on our way to the lake house,
we are one of many cars
but Brooklyn and I got lucky
and we ended up driving the car
with all the food. - All the food.
Which is good because,
- [Brooklyn] I'm getting hungry
- Getting hungry and we got plenty
to choose from over here
but the others might come behind us.
That's Tanna and Derek.
Super excited to go to the lake house.
We love going to the lake.
We love,
like our,
- [Brooklyn] Boating, jet ski's,
- [Kamri] We love boating and jet ski's
and I did bring some fishing stuff
because some of the boys wanted to fish
but, yeah.
So we're gonna have lots of stuff to do
and we're all super excited.
- We survived the chaos
of getting all the food packed up and ready.
Now that we have so many teenagers
that packing, actually unpacking
at the house went really fast
so we had it loaded out
and all the groceries put away in no time flat
and one trick that I do now
that I have a little bit older kids is,
even Dax and Pais,
I assign everyone a meal
so I will itemize what the meal is
and so like for example,
Paisley has breakfast in the morning with,
one of the cousins that's like also 11
and it's just muffins and cereal and milk and juice,
fruit, oatmeal, yogurt,
so it's basically stuff she can just pull out of the fridge
and put out on the counter
but that helps so that,
everybody takes a turn
and I don't have to it all.
- Okay I'm ready.
(upbeat music)
(splashing noise)
- Two,
three.
(Cheering)
- Good morning guys.
It is our first morning in the lake cabin
and it's about 10:30 or so.
Paisley and her cousin got up
and made breakfast for everybody
and it's currently 30
and the older girls Brooklyn and Bailey, Kamri
and Rylen are all still asleep so,
but look how beautiful it is out here.
(Kids shouting)
Gonna be a good day.
- She caught this fish!
- [Mindy] She's the first one to catch a big fish!
- [Brooklyn] It's a catfish.
- A big catfish!
- It's worth it to throw him back in the water though
- We're gonna put it back though
- Yup.
- Camry's now fishing
and then mom and Brooklyn are out there swimmin'.
I'm about to get in right now.
- This isn't too bad.
(splashing noises)
(cheering noises)
- [Shaun] Paxton, what's this buddy?
- [Paxton] Cat fish. - It's a cat fish.
(kids shouting)
- Yeah, you caught a little teeny tiny catfish huh?
- You caught a fish Dax!
- Good job bud, on a worm?
(splashing noise)
There, he's gone.
- [Shaun] Open it.
- No. - You don't have any other way
Just open it, just open it - Whatever it is
- Whatever it is, - Just open it
I don't trust you - Just open it
- Go ahead and open it
- [Brooklyn] No, I don't trust you,
at all. - Here
- No
- Just open it, just open it. - No
- I don't want it don't
- Just slide it open
- No, I don't want whatever's in there
(Shaun laughs)
- It's gonna be some bug
that's gonna jump out at me. - Here
(wooden box pangs shut)
I don't trust you at all - Just slide it open then
(sneaky music)
Oh, it's one of those,
(everyone laughing)
it's one of those things,
it's too suspicious of an entry.
You think I'm gonna open something
without being suspicious of it?
- [Shaun] Just try it.
- Yeah, we have one of these at home
(Shaun laughs)
- [Brooklyn] No one's falling for it dad
(Shaun laughs)
- Here you go,
just slide it open.
(everyone laughs)
- [Brooklyn] He saw you open it.
- [Shaun] Here you go
- I know it's big but I don't like it.
- [Shaun] Slide it open.
- Oh, gosh.
- [Rylan] I don't like the way that it moves.
- It's pretty cool,
how do you do it without people knowin'?
- [Brooklyn] You don't.
- So we did the family pictures
which is,
like the first thing every 4th of July morning
that I insist on.
We all switched into our swimsuits
and we picked up the pontoon boat
that we are renting today just for fun
so it's ready to go.
They brought it right here, dockside,
and we are just in the process of loading drinks,
they are getting the tubes blown up
so we can go play in the water for the day.
(loud air pump noises)
- This is huge.
- It is huge.
- Good.
- [Brooklyn] Are you having fun?
Are you gonna go on the floaty today?
- Yeah.
(Brooklyn cheers)
Gonna be tough!
(boat motor noises)
(happy music)
(laughing)
- Here we go, he's running
- Here we go (firework boom noises)
- Whoa this is right in front of us!
(everyone laughs)
- Whoa, this is from right there.
- So much cooler!
(firework booms) - Whoa! (everyone cheers)
He lights it, he's just
- Here he comes, here he comes, here he comes.
he's just on the other side right there
- It's on fire, it's on fire (firework boom noises)
(everyone cheers)
(firework booms)
- Oh yeah.
(everyone cheers)
Nice, yeah!
(everyone claps)

Good job!
- They sold it or something.
(fireworks booming) - Here we go.
(firework booms)
(everyone cheers)

(everyone cheering)
(distant firework boom noises)
I don't know if you can see
there's just almost a constant screaming.
Of fireworks.
(distant fireworks booming)
(happy music)
(everyone cheering)
