- Guess what?
We're in a boat!
- Boat! - [Chris] Yay!
(lively music)
(gentle music)
Good morning, everyone.
Today we have a family trip planned.
We are meeting with my sister Colleen and her family
and my sister, Rachel, and we are going to a ranch.
We've been to this ranch once before, it was super fun.
We decided to just take a day trip there
and spend the time together as a family.
I'm really excited about it.
But before we get to that,
I wanna give you a quick little health update on everybody.
Because in the last video,
we were talking about having had COVID.
We are about three and a half weeks away
from when we had COVID, we don't have it anymore.
There's a little bit of lingering symptoms
but not active COVID anymore.
We are not contagious.
We are feeling much better than we were.
Teddy and Luke still kind of have
some congestion, some ear aches.
I have some congestion and I still have bronchitis
but that is a secondary thing from the COVID.
So we're doing better.
Also, Jacob is out of his cast now.
He had a cast 'cause he had broken his wrist
and now he is doing much better.
He is in a wrist brace just for a little added protection
but his bone is healing very nicely.
He'll only be in that brace for maybe another week
and he can take it off to go swimming
or take a shower or whatever.
So we're doing better.
We're gonna have a great day today.
I'm happy that you're here.
Let's drive to the ranch.
(bright music)
All right, we are here at the ranch.
There's a lot to do and we're here for a couple of hours
so we're gonna try and do as much as we possibly can.
I think the first thing is there is a new animal here
and we're gonna show it to you right now.
(lively music)
Have you ever met a camel, Bailey?
- [Staff Member] He turned out to be a boy.
- [Erik] When did you get the camel?
- [Staff Member] Like three weeks ago.
- [Erik] Oh wow.
- [Staff Member] Basically been no sleep.
- [Chris] Whoa, hi.
- [Colleen] Christopher, this camel's a month old.
- [Chris] It is the coolest creature.
- [Rachel] Colleen is very shocked by this information.
- [Colleen] So huge.
- [Woman] He's so cute.
- Does she bite?
- [Woman] No.
- [Chris] Okay, because I was being very trusting just then,
I was like, "Here's my finger."
(Jessica laughing)
You wanna do that?
You want camel kisses?
- [Bailey] I want that.
- [Chris] Bailey will get camel kisses.
Bailey's getting camel kisses.
- Hi, angel.
Okay, you're the best.
Oh, hello.
Are we getting closer?
Is this okay?
- [Woman] He's just checking, he's gonna kiss your face.
- [Jessica] Just tell me if there's anything
that I need to do that's different,
just tell me and I'll fix it.
- [Chris] Mommy's having fun with the camel.
- Parker, look.
The camel kisses you.
- [Chris] Bailey, you wanna hold the leash?
- [Bailey] Yes, please.
(upbeat music)
- [Chris] Camel secrets.
She's telling camel secrets.
Is it a he or she?
A he?
He's telling camel secrets.
Bailey's gonna get some kisses.
Camel kisses.
Oh, on the cheek.
Camel kisses.
- [Jessica] Oh, isn't he gentle?
Sweet Albert.
He might not wanna leave Alex.
- [Man] He really, like, connected.
- How cool is that?
A one month old camel named Albert.
I've always heard stories about camels
being mean and biting and spitting.
That is the sweetest camel,
probably one of the sweetest animals I've ever encountered.
I love that guy.
I turn around, I thought Jessica was right behind me.
She wasn't because she decided to take Albert with us,
not home.
- They're working on getting him to adapt to other people
because he really bonded to his main handler Alex here.
So they're like, "Hey, we really want him
to be comfortable with anybody just coming up
and walking around with him."
So I was like, "Okay, I'll try."
We'll see.
- [Chris] You wanna come with us?
- I want you to be comfortable.
Hi.
They said he likes hats.
- [Chris] Oh yeah.
- Oh, thank you.
- [Chris] This is a first, taking a camel on a walk.
- I've never gone camel walking.
Sing my song.
♪ You wanna walk like a camel ♪
♪ Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ♪
Remember that song?
- [Chris] Yeah, I play it on the guitar sometimes.
♪ You make me wanna walk like a camel ♪
Have you heard me?
Kids are taking a bath, I'll play that riff on the guitar.
(bright guitar music)
I must play it really badly.
♪ Ow wee ♪
(relaxed music)
Look at these birds.
Do you see them?
Say hello.
Hello.
- [Bailey] Parrots?
(Luke babbling)
- [Chris] A parrot.
Say hello.
(Parrot chirps)
Parrot, yeah, that's what I said.
Do you like the parrot?
Uh-huh.
Did you see the parrots?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] They're cool.
They talk, they say hello.
- [Jacob] Hello. - [Parrot] Hello.
- [Chris] You hear 'em?
Hello. - [Parrot] Hello.
- [Chris] Hello.
- [Jacob] Hello. - [Duncan] Hello.
- [Parrot] Hello. - [Luke] Hello.
- [Bailey] Hello. - Hello.
- [Duncan] Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Op, the doggie's saying hello to you now.
(upbeat music)
(hen crows)
(goats bleating)
(Luke giggling)
(Luke babbles)
The mama.
Those are alpacas, let's go meet them.
- You gotta eat the food.
- Peanut, eat.
Eat the food.
- We're in a Gator, it's time to go to the lake.
- [Luke] A boat. - [Chris] You want a boat?
- [Luke] Yeah. - Let's go find a boat.
(Luke giggling)
Guess what?
We're in a boat. - Boat!
- Yay, you finally got in a boat.
(Luke babbling)
Yeah, you remember when you wanted
to go in a boat at family camp?
And now you're in a boat. - [Luke] Yeah.
- [Chris] You're out on a lake in a boat.
- [Duncan] That's where the dock is.
- [Chris] There's a dock over there, you can go fishing.
And we're just gonna have a nice little paddle.
- Fish.
- [Chris] You wanna fish?
Okay, we're gonna go on a quick little boat ride
and then we'll fish, okay?
What do you say?
- Thank you.
- [Chris] Thank you?
Oh, you're welcome.
I couldn't imagine a nicer day to go out on the lake.
(Luke babbles)
Yeah, it's a nice day.
- Can I paddle that?
(lively music)
- So this is the boat house or the lake house.
And they have a banjo.
(people chattering)
It's a very hot day today.
I don't know if you can tell from us
being all red and sweaty, but it's hot.
So we're in the nice, cool shade of the boathouse.
Is this the boathouse or the lake house?
- I think they call it the fish house.
- The fish house, obviously.
That's what I meant to say.
So part of the reason that we're here today
is to celebrate Duncan and Parker's birthday
because Colleen was on tour on their actual birthdays.
And then I think someone was sick on one of the birthdays
but there were reasons,
reasons we couldn't all celebrate together.
- [Colleen] I was traveling, someone was sick, I don't know.
- There's like a lot of things that was happening.
So part of what we're doing today
is celebrating their birthdays.
And so we're gonna gonna have a little cupcake party.
Let's do it.
♪ Happy birthday, dear Duncan and Parker ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
- [Colleen] Yay! - Yay, good job!
All right, we are all done at the ranch.
We had a great time.
We did some fishing, we went on a boat.
We played with animals and.
(Luke babbles)
Animals? Did you see animals?
(Luke babbles)
- [Jessica] He might be, he's asking for In-N-Out.
- [Chris] You wanna go to In-N-Out?
- Yeah! - Oh my goodness.
Well, we have one dinner request in
so we'll see how that goes.
But we had a great time.
Colleen set this whole thing up for us.
And so I wanna say thanks to Colleen and her family
and it's great to see Rachel and it's time to go,
time to hit the road so let's do it.
Hi, let's talk about what we learned today.
We learned a few camel secrets.
We learned the joys of finally getting to go on a boat.
And finally, we learned what happens
when you load up into our van.
You get unsolicited requests for hamburgers.
