What did you ask? Why are we going out so early?
Yeah.
Because surprise...
What surprise?
What should we do today?
Go to Toys R Us.
Okay, he's going to cry.
Do you want to go on holiday?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
To... Punta Cana?
Yeah.
Yeah?
For two weeks?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Are we going now, mommy?
Should we go now?
Yeah!
Should we get in the car and go and get on a plane?
Yeah.
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
Are you excited? Are you excited? We're going to play house life. Play house life tonight.
We are going. We are going. Yes!
Let me get my shoes on!
Jackson's like what the... ?
[inaudible 00:00:57]
[crosstalk 00:00:57]
Get your shoes on.
Daddy look.
[inaudible 00:00:57] for a long time. Do you remember? For nine hours.
Okay.
Yeah? Going for two weeks.
[crosstalk 00:01:18]
Yeah!
So, guess what? We're going to be on holiday for your birthday.
Yeah!
And Halloween.
Yeah!
Yay!
All right, let's go.
[crosstalk 00:01:31] holiday.
Think they're excited. I think he wants to go.
Are you excited?
Right, we've told the boys and we're on our way to the airport.
Loving the curtains.
Just like that we're here. We've made it to Punta Cana and are so impressed with the boys
on the flight. There were very few tears and we made it in one piece. Haven't we daddy?
Oh yeah.
[crosstalk 00:03:12] no crying. I only have one cry.
So yeah. We've checked in to our room. Somehow the boys are still awake so now we're off
to find some dinner even though it's like eleven o'clock at home.
Hello!
And then we're going to the kids entertainment because that is their favorite thing to do
when we're on holiday. So yeah, we made it and it was worth it.
Good morning guys. It's day one of our holiday. We have had quite the morning because of jet
lag. Caleb woke up at 1:00 AM which was just crazy but that was 6:00 AM back home so yeah.
I woke up at 3:00 AM.
Fraser slept a bit until 3:00 AM. I thought that was quite acceptable but, you know, I
was in the resort park and they were like splashing in puddles at 2:00 AM this morning.
I tried to film it but it was so dark you couldn't have seen anything so, anyway, that
must have been ugh. But we managed to get everyone back to bed and now we're back up
at a sensible time. I think it's like 7:30 now so, already, I unpacked as well in the
night and now we're off to find breakfast. We're back at the [inaudible 00:04:23] in
Punta Cana. We've been here before. We were actually here just in January and we weren't
planning on coming back so quickly but we wanted to have a holiday and this was quite
reasonable so we were like "Should we just go back to what we know?". So, yeah we're
back and we're on our way to breakfast.
Jackson's been a little angel as usual hasn't he? Been such a good boy and Fraser you've
been such a good boy. Oh, they all have.
I love the square. I love the square.
Are you excited to be back?
Yeah.
Should we show them the square?
Yeah.
It is just this over here. At night, it's all beautiful and twinkly. But yeah, we're
going to have breakfast in this building. Just there. Does the best breakfast.
Look who's walking, even in water. Oh dear, oh-oh. Are you okay? Aw, he's back up again.
You did so well!
Careful.
Baby's drowning. Well, we've been for breakfast and now we're just in the little kids splash
pool. Jackson's having a great time. We were just saying it's going to be backbreaking
two weeks because he can walk but not really.
Jackson's doing the slide and everything.
[inaudible 00:06:12]
You're too grown up for one.
He's going to Fraser.
So we've been playing in the kids pool this morning and then Jackson got really tired
so I brought him back to the room to have a sleep and I need to do a few little work
bits so I thought I would just take the opportunity. He's been sleeping for about an hour now and
now we're off to meet the big boys. I think they're at the beach.
It's about 30 degrees today and nice and sunny.
Just come for lunch.
Right, we're back from the beach and the pool. My hair has gone absolutely crazy but we had
a really nice time. I didn't get to vlog too much because my GoPro ran out of battery.
Anyway, we're back home now. I thought I'd just give you a quick little tour of our hotel
room. When we go on holiday, we normally get a swimmer but, because Jackson is one now
and he's walking, I was like “That would be far too stressful.” So we're on the top
floor of this building. So a really beautiful view.
Right, so this is our balcony. There's little Jackson.
This is our view. See we've got some seating and that footstools and stuff. And then, look.
How beautiful?
This is our living area and it's also where the boys sleep. This is our dining table which
is totally messy. This is the hallway. Jackson wants the camera.
This is the master bedroom and you can see Jackson's just hit that light. He loves hitting
that light. Don't you? Yes. This is Jackson's cot which is basically the size of a single
bed. It's massive and he loves it. And then we've got a little kitchen area; loads of
storage.
Yeah, so tonight we're going to a Dominican beach party and everyone has to wear white
so I didn't actually know about this but I do have some white bits that we can wear.
So we'll get all dressed up as a family, see how many of us stay awake and go to the beach
party. Aren't we Jacksy? Yay, cute. Say 'hiya', say 'hi, wave. Hello.
All of us are in here.
Right, we're all ready for our white party. Got my white dress on. Daddy, what are you
wearing a black T-shirt for?
My white mankini.
Matt's got his white mankini on.
[crosstalk 00:09:33] like 100 ties.
Jackson's asleep in the buggy so we're off to the beach.
You guys. You don't need a black top.
You don't need a black top, do you?
I don't have a white top.
I'm going to have a mojito, I think.
You have a black one [inaudible 00:09:49] but not a white.
And see what this beach party's all about. Apparently there's fire throwing and everything
so yeah it should be really good.
The twins.
Twinning.
Are you twins?
Mom-
Shake your booty.
We're back from the beach party and we had a really nice evening. Jackson slept the whole
time in his buggy so that's amazing. Even though the music was really loud, he managed
to sleep through it. Caleb had such a lovely time but we thought it was about time to come
home when he fell asleep on daddy on the beach. And yeah, Fraser, he's made some friends and
he was running around crazy with them. He actually didn't really want to leave but we
saw some acrobats and we saw some dancing and there was music and a DJ and stuff. And
yeah, it was like a barbecue. It was a really, really nice evening. So yeah, we're back.
We're all tired, jet lagged and stuff but yeah an amazing first day and I'll definitely
be vlogging a few more days while we're here. So yeah, I hope you like this video and I
will see you very soon. Bye guys. Night night.
