- I saw Puerto Rico!
(happy music)
- We are so close, literally moments away.
- This is our neighborhood?
- [Children] Whoa!
- This is it.
The house is ready, and we're leaving.
Today is the day.
We are moving to Puerto Rico.
It has been so busy,
packing and getting
ready for this adventure
that I don't think it's really set in.
It still feels surreal to me,
like is this really happening?
I've been so busy, I haven't
been able to feel emotional
about leaving our house, and our friends,
and our city that we absolutely love.
So hopefully we make it through today.
It's not too long of a travel day,
but it is a couple of flights,
and a couple of airports,
and a lot of luggage.
And, oh yeah, five kids.
(lighthearted music)
Cubby's the first one awake.
How are you feelin'?
- So excited!
- [Kendra] Yeah?
- Why are we bringing
our little laundry bag?
- [Kendra] 'Cause we
might need some laundry
while we're there.
- I hope they have laundry.
- [Kendra] They do, they
have a washer and dryer.
We're gonna be living there for a while.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Kendra] So we'll
probably do some laundry.
Jeremy's packing in the last few things.
- If we had to pick one of the bags
that was just gonna weigh over 50 pounds,
that's this one.
- [Kendra] This is the beast bag.
So, we're taking oh so many things.
There they are, and there's the scale,
because we've been weighing them.
- So the kids are so excited about going,
we just realized that Caleb
has his pants on backwards.
- And Laura's shirt was on backwards.
- [Jeremy] (laughing) Yeah.
- It might have more to do
with the fact that it's early.
- [Jeremy] Yeah, and we're so lucky,
Britt and Michelle came to help us
with the actual get everything
to the airport process.
(nostalgic piano music)
- This is it.
The house is ready, and we're leaving.
I am so excited to go on this adventure,
but it's so hard to
leave the home and family
that we have here.
The last few days have
been absolutely chaotic,
and stressful, some of the kids got sick,
so much packing,
and our friends and family
have just rallied around us.
And it's hard to let go of
people that you love so much,
but I have faith that there is
a great adventure ahead of us
and some wonderful people and
new friends for us to make.
- [Jeremy] Alright, this is our
first time in the new house.
What'd you think, Isaac?
- Good, I like that...
- [Elise] We have new house play.
- Shower, that we have
three showers in this house.
There's one in the
playroom, in our bathroom,
and there's one in my Dad's bathroom.
- [Jeremy] Elise, what did
you like about the house?
- Caleb's room, and my room,
and Isaac's room, and Caleb's room.
- When we walked in, ee-ly said,
this kitchen is beautiful!
It's really cute.
Alright, here's Caleb.
(Caleb screeching)
Look at that!
- [Jeremy] Yay!
Go get Mom, go get her!
Oh! (laughing)
- Oh!
Crash and burn, try again!
Try again, good job!
(nostalgic piano music)
It's going to be a busy
travel day, and you know,
I always say I love to
adventure with my family,
but right now the greatest adventure
sounds like a super long nap.
So let's do this.
- [Jeremy] Alright, you hoppin' in?
- [Elise] Yes.
(door slamming)
How will I fit?
- [Jeremy] That very last moment
where Kendra doesn't
know where her phone is.
- That's pretty important.
Also, my wallet.
After frantically searching,
it's in my pocket.
Losin' it, let's go, people!
You guys ready for this?
- Yeah!
- Mm-hmm!
- [Laura] Yeah!
- [Kendra] Laura, you ready?
- No!
- [Jeremy] How 'bout Nae Nae?
- [Isaac] Say, I'm ready!
- [Jeremy] It's raining,
which could mean wet bags.
- [Kendra] But at least it's not snow!
- Yep, that's true, or tornadoes.
- That's always a good thing to avoid.
(upbeat music)
♪ We're leavin' on a jet plane ♪
♪ Don't know when we'll be back again ♪
This time, it's actually true.
We do not know when we will be back again.
(country music)
Alright, we have to document the crazy.
This is what it looks like
to have five kids, two adults,
seven pieces of luggage,
three car seats, a stroller, two laptops,
a drone, five carry-on bags,
and a partridge in a pear tree.
And when you want to
get them to an island,
it takes a lot of work.
So many bags.
I think this counts as
your workout for this week.
- Exactly 50 pounds, I'm so happy.
(funky music)
So this is our first time going through
with the feeding tube stuff.
- [Kendra] Little more complicated.
- So because our PediaSure
for her is sealed,
they have to do a pat-down of Kendra.
So while we're waiting
for the line to start,
Laura and I are playing with Ruby.
What are we feeding her?
- Pie and pizza.
- [Jeremy] She's having a bad hair day.
- [Boarding Agent] One, thank you.
- So our first flight is to Tampa,
and then from Tampa to San Juan.
- One of my favorite
things is at the airport,
when Jeremy's leading the crew,
and all the kids are falling
in, and I'm in the back,
and I'm just looking
ahead at my whole family,
and they are busy and exhausting,
but man, do I love them.
Jeremy just said, and
seeing everybody's reaction.
Yes, yes there are many of us.
- [Flight Attendant]
Flight attendants, arm
and cross check doors.
- [Kendra] Janae does
not wanna sit with us.
She picked this seat.
- This is our last time to
fly with her as a lap child,
so she'll have her own seat forevermore.
- [Kendra] You're not
gonna be able to hang out
in the aisle, you gotta sit with Mama.
- Nope. (babbling)
- Nope, I stay.
(clock ticking)
We haven't even taken
off on our first flight,
and I've already used all of my ideas
to keep Janae busy.
It's gonna be a very long flight.
- Mama?
- Get the tranquilizer gun.
- Whoa!
- Oh?
- Whoa!
- [Kendra] You guys are so
cute eatin' your yogurt!
- How long is this one?
- [Kendra] Two and a half hours.
- Good, I thought--
- [Kendra] We're going to Florida first.
- How long is the next one?
- [Kendra] I think only two hours.
- Good, I thought one was
seven, and one was two.
- Whoa, no, it's not that long of flying.
Is this your American
Girl doll's first flight?
Laura's saying good-bye to Kansas City!
(Laura squealing)
(bouncy music)
You know, there has been
some sadness on this flight.
A couple of the kids
were just talking about
how sad it is to be leaving Kansas City,
and I know I felt that, too,
when we were flying away.
Think we're all feeling
a little emotional today.
I had to bring in relief.
Dad had to come sit with us.
So we have Jeremy and
I, and Janae and Laura,
and here's the big kids.
We're hoping they don't
burn the plane down
with their craziness.
We found something that entertains Janae.
- We'll do whatever it takes.
- [Janae] Yay!
Yay!
- I'm sneaking a moment to read.
I doubt it will last for more than page,
but I'm taking any moment I can.
(exciting string music)
- [Jeremy] Nae Nae has a lot of wiggles.
She's been running around like a maniac.
There's Mom!
- Hi!
Should we change your diaper?
- I found some way to keep Janae still.
Janae Cam, you filmin'?
You filming Dada?
Hi!
Are you filming strangers at the airport?
That's always intrusive.
See what she's doing?
Go ask her some questions.
Go see, get the baby.
Tell her that--
- I'm putting my baby to bed.
- [Jeremy] Ooh, you're
doing a good job, Nae Nae.
(speedy string music)
- Alright, San Juan.
Aw! (smooching)
Think she's getting tired.
I'm hoping she sleeps!
- [Jeremy] Next stop,
San Juan, Puerto Rico.
(boogie music)
- On the trip, I'm really excited,
because we're moving!
It's a big change for our family.
We only have about an hour
until our plane ride's over,
and so it's just really fun.
It's really beautiful in Missouri.
- [Kendra] Feeding Janae on the plane
has proven to be both
easy and challenging.
- [Pilot] Around there
in the next 24 minutes.
Partly cloudy skies, seeing
some clouds, really safe
and everything.
- What?
- [Jeremy] 81 degrees.
- Whoo!
- The kids are getting their
first view of Puerto Rico.
- [Elise] Is it that island over there?
- [Kendra] Is there an island coming up?
That's it then!
- I saw Puerto Rico!
- [Caleb] Is it there?
(bouncy music)
- [Isaac] I see the airport.
(children cheering)
- Puerto Rico!
- We made it!
- The Puerto Rico dance!
There it is.
So I love that every time I'm on a plane
that flies to Puerto Rico, and they land,
the people cheer.
That doesn't happen anywhere else I fly.
- JX1 fly JX.
- We're almost there!
So close!
Unfortunately, we're
missing one of our bags.
Just one, but it's the car seat bag.
They're loaning us car seats to use.
- Alright, we can finally
go out to the car.
So luckily at the airport
here in Puerto Rico,
they have people help you take
everything out to the cars.
(upbeat music)
We found her!
- I saw your doll!
Hi, Janae!
(upbeat music)
- We are running out of steam.
This is definitely the last
leg of a very long trip.
There's some grumpy kids,
some grumpy parents.
But guys, we are only three
miles away from our house.
This experience has been
months in the making!
I mean, I haven't even seen our house yet,
and neither have the kids.
We've been talking and daydreaming
about Puerto Rico for months,
and so after all the
work, all the packing,
all the traveling, we are so close!
Literally, moments away.
But it's funny how those
last few minutes of waiting
can feel so agonizing!
It's just so hard to wait!
- This is our neighborhood?
(island music)
- Hey!
- Hi!
- Jeremy, he says you should carry me
and all the kids over the threshold.
- [Jeremy] Yes.
- [Children] Whoa!
(happy piano music)
- Oh my goodness.
- It's my dream come true!
- Like this!
(happy piano music)
- [Jeremy] Look, she got earrings!
- Whoa!
(Jeremy and Kendra laughing)
- [Kendra] Best reaction!
