- Welcome to Zion National Park y'all! Utah is beautiful, and this has been Yvette's dream destination for a while now, so my favorite part of this stop was seeing how much she enjoyed being there. That being said, we learned very quickly that hiking with kids is not for the faint of heart...or patience lol. Can you guess which of the chocolate babies liked hiking the least? Also, please leave us tips on hiking with children, if we every decide to take our chances again we want to be prepared! Comment below! #BELEAFINFATHERHOOD

If we’ve learned anything it’s that Ria is not an outdoor kid and he has zero shame about it. Take all the quarters dad. He don’t care.
I thought the same thing he has his personality all on his own
Aeww poor baby 😊
Best part
Lol he does not care! 😂
He's just so adorable.
Yvette, "because we're together." Anaya, " I wanna just find mom and get her love." Priceless!!!!...
Rashelle, you took the words right outta my mouth. I was just gonna comment on that when I saw your's.😁😂
The run and dramatic hugs for everyone as if she has been lost in the dessert for years 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love her personality
I know🤣 but it’s so cute!😩💕
And the family watching sitting at the tables behind them. It was such a sweet moment. 🥰🥰🥰
@@janetsbff5974*
😂😂 so cute and hilarious
😂😂😭
Anaya and Uzi running towards each other to hug in the glorious sunlight, surrounded by verdant grass and huge mountains...
That was the literal beauty of human life captured.
Yvette looked so sad at the end when she said "you'll be at the office, ill be back to my routine, i just like being together" ... she definitely has quality time as a strong love language
Riah's maturity while posing for pictures is insane lol. He goes directly into model mode. Dope.
My thoughts exactly...
Mom’s living her best life and everyone else is struggling lmao
Lol right!
She’s in her element 😍 but what she said is kinda sad though. It took covid to make a lot of people realize that we don’t spend nearly enough time with our family as we should.
She is me! 😦
Yes 😍💞💞
Brother, I don't know if you hear this enough but thank you for your dedication to your craft. I always appreciate your videos from the art to the meaning. God bless you and your family! Thank you for being an inspiration!
Dad tells daughter to say "Hi, my name is Anaya and I am dramatic" Anaya "Ah, I don't know what dramatic means but it doesn't sound good so I ain't saying that" LOL.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🤣🤣🤣👍🏽❤
One thing Riah gon do is unapologetically hate outside and serve looks effortlessly in photos! 👌🏽Also, Naya and Uzi's little moment was the best ❤️
And that's ok lol
Anaya running to her brothers as if she hasn't seen them in years, in true Drama Queen fashion also Uzi going along with her dramatics when they hugged. Too cute. I couldn't do the RV thing, but glad you guys had the time together.
Right! She was probably separated from her bros for 5/10 minutes tops!😂
Anaya won't let anyone define her, good girl it will come in handy when you grow up. She is such an affectionate bumble bee, and like being loved on. Nothing is wrong with that. Such a sweetie, who wouldn't like being loved on by Mom.
When Theo was talkin about his privacy, I felt that 😂
Thats how my son we be, and its just us and him 😂
RIGHT!
Me too! 😆
WORD!!!!!
Same lol
Anaya is so cute 🥰 All she wanted was some love from her mom. The bond they have is so beautiful. And let’s not forget the love they share for bacon 🥓
Oh my goodness right?
I was smiling so big on her birthday episode when they were going over the plans for her special day. She's such a little lady 😊
Can't believe the trip is over. You guys are the sweetest family ever. When I saw Anaya hug Theo, then Uzi running towards Anaya and huggin' that put a massive smile across my face it was an awwwwwwwwwwww moment for real🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes Anaya, I love her Energy. "I just need my moms love!"
Anaya is a whole powerhouse. They all are! I love how her no's remain no. Most importantly, you all make sure she has the space to do so. That is so powerful and necessary.
I admire how Theo clearly and kindly reiterated his boundary and let you know you were on the cusp of breaching it 😍😂.
I loved Yvette speaking her heart at the ending of the video! Such a beautiful expression of her need for togetherness!! Listen up hubby!!!!!
The last minute of this video when Yvette is talking………..❤️🔥
I love how Anaya expresses herself. I remember how she was there supporting her mom during Yvette's bringing Uzi forth into the world. She is a carer beara😊. She seems to give love and care: and also knows she needs love and care; and that it is available.
Anaya is definitely a momma’s girl 💖😊
Riah was so cool with it like, "I'll take that..." lol he has to voice his frustration for the outside lol... I love it... For all the aggravation they've felt at times man when they grow up and look back at the memories and laugh and reminisce... They will realize just how awesome u both are as parents... So dope ❤️
Love the dad and daughter moments at the end of the hike. She knows who she is! Very strong and smart girl ❤
Spoken like a loving and caring wife and mother. You have such a beautiful soul.
Yvette says it all “together” , be together now, because the kids grow up & eventually don’t want to do, family stuff. Time is all we have.
Especially now !
Not all kids lol. If you raise them to love the trips instead of dreading it because it's something they "have to do" then they'll start to not like it. Coming from a 20 year old who still loves taking trips 😊
@@HotCheetoGirl_ not just trips, it's deeper, it's your kids going off one day to experience their own life. My daughter is your age, she has her own life and I'm proud of her, but we don't do what we used to do anymore. Life just gets busy and starts to blur by,, so we're cherishing and planting seeds of closeness while making memories.
@@Toywins I know it's deeper than that lol. I'm just pointing out what I said. But you are so right.
Ria is sooo done with nature at this point. I agree totally.💗 Anaya is cutest little drama queen.🥰
Theo venting about his privacy are so valid bro😭That’s how I feel when I be at home from college cuz my whole family be coming in and out of my room when I’m just tryna chill😩
One thing about Miss Anaya Zai, she LOVES her family! The way she put up when she saw Theo! 😂
Theo and his privacy spew hit me in my soul. As a true Virgo, I felt that. Also, Yvette is such a beautiful woman. She's a great mother and wife. I just love her.
I’ve been watching your vids for a year or something, but what I love the most is the respect and space for their feelings to flourish and how free they can be to express them. Just keep it up, they’re gonna turn out great because they had this space to grow.
Amen
It's the "I wanna find mom and gets some love" for me 💙💙💙💕💕💕💕
It was a really interesting commentary on human-ness when you said that you've had so much freedom and flexibility that you actually looked forward to the routine of clearing the grey/black water. The idea that freedom and routine act together in balance to create what might feel like "perfect".
From "wipe my butt" to "my whole entire family knows I like my privacy". Please play the "wipe my butt" video at his 21st birthday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The family has grown. Every single person has grown and it is so beautiful to see. Good job parents 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️♥️
I really love Aniya and her use of vocabulary. You would’ve thought the boys hadn’t seen their sister for a week, the way that they all ran and hugged each other. Aniya wants to be a big girl, but wants to be carried like a baby too, such a paradox 😌 The funniest part is how she thought it all through and told dad how he can make it all go down 🤔
Such a lovely 😊 family and thanks for sharing!!!
When Uzi ran up to Anaya 😭❤️
Right?? My favorite part, it was soooo precious 🥺🥺
my eyes got watery 🧅
“I just wanna find mom & get her love” man… that just melted my heart 💜
Glen, it maybe that the kids are so young and there's a few. It adds to more needs and opinions etc. I really admire the fact you tried. It may not have been ideal but I commend you. Love and bonding was the motivation. Thanks for being a good dad in the midst of trials.
I love that Anaya knows how to talk about herself in a positive manner! Love your family, you guys bring me so much joy! when it comes to black family culture and how to break generational chains you guys are doing your best and I love it!! Keep up the good work!
I'm just in tears when Anaya ran to give everyone a HUG!! She just loves her family, the smile on her face and the yelling when she saw her brothers and her Mom. She is definitely a Mommy's girl
Riah walked off with a “girl bye” attitude after Yvette told him to breath in 😭
🙃🙃
lmao
And did! 🤧 I’m weeeaaakkk! 😂🙃😅😂
I love Riah 😍 dad asked was it complaint. Him. "Yes" he was like forget that tv and those quarters cause this is not a complaining "I'm just saying" lol
Because we're together, tugged at something in my heart.
Uzi is a baby with an old soul. Every time he utilized the side eye I see my mother. When I was growing up when she flashes d side eye and clears her throat u know u in big trouble.
Ditto
I am so happy that he is able to voice that he needs his privacy and it is okay,
"I like being together." -Mrs. Melanin
Anaya has a heart of gold! Glen and Yvette you are raising, beautiful little humans who will make the world a better place one day. ❤️
Anaya warms my heart! She just needed some Mommy Love 💕💕💕.
Beautiful family priceless moments! Your baby girl is so cute, such a lady, and eloquent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love her!!! She steals the show!!! The baby was just chilling in this episode and the big boys, they were troopers! Thanks for sharing!!!!! God bless!
This is real and authentic, not scripted. Thank you Glen & Yvette for sharing this for us to see.
Anaya is so precious she is the princess and close mom awwee Uriah is straight to the point no filter he says it as is and how he feels in all honesty love the adventures blessings and love safe travels 🙏🙏🙏.
All the kids are so cute. I agree with mom about togetherness. Kids grow up so fast and time flies. Great video. I love your family. ❤️
I'd be curious to know if you'd have a different sentiment on a comparatively larger/roomier RV or bus (with the entire family again). Would it be a more pleasant and convenient experience?
Riah Beau is a model, this is why he doesn't do the outdoors - he hit that pose so naturally.
I feel like part of the dampening thing was the length of trip in the RV and the age of your children. You did this trip because you looked at the long term memories, lessons, and so forth. Good for you guys. You came. You saw. You conquered.
These videos are pure joy. Thank you guys for inviting us into your lives. For a split second, at the end, I thought Glen might turn all romantic and run around to scoop up Yvette in his arms for a kiss because she said the best part was being together. Glen, you kept it real (you ain't too dramatic lol) but for a second I thought we might get a fairytale dream ending.
When Anaya and Uzi ran to each other and hugged with huge smiles on their faces like they hadn’t seen each in years…made my uterus ache!! I love this family!!😍😍😍
Anaya and Uzi running towards each other is the sweetest moment… all to be ruined by dog poop lol
Whoever disliked this video can meet me outside...
Uriah “ and so she made us not have a choice “ 😂😂😂 had me dying
Took me out
I cracked up.Riah is such a funny kid, his attitude is like I would rather do anything else but this.
I’m glad y’all went on this trip and I’m not member of the Henry family. Y’all inspire me so much. Glen the kids will look back on this trip
when they’re older and know that God loves them and so does there mother and father. #Familyisfoundation #Ilovethisfamily
As a daddy's girl myself, I absolutely ❤ the moments between you and Anayah. And even though I'm single & live in MD, I totally get what Yvette means about not wanting this trip to end because y'all are together. My family is in GA & FL. I hate going home to see them because I don't want that time with them to end. And I cry every time I have to come back to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.😪
I had to live in a rv once for two months while pregnant. it was horrible. and also you guys are the only family bloggers I watch and aren't cringey so thanks for being cool/real
Omg i have been watching you all for years and never knew you were a Trini....🤗
Riah is such a vibe, the picture on the rock was everything. I really love seeing you love on your family!
Omg, I absolutely melted and kept rewinding when u and Anaya caught back up with everybody...especially her and oozy!...soo ADORBS!!!💖💖💖
I just subscribed! I absolutely love this. I wish my family spent more time building an intimate relationship growing up. We all grew apart. I’m 32 and we are planning a road trip for 2023 and I hope we grow together through experiences as unique and exciting as yours! Thanks for sharing!!
Wonderful parents, beautiful family! Much love to you all!
These videos are therapeutic and healing for me in a way. I get to relive my childhood the way I imagined it through you all.
I was grouped with my 3 younger brothers, (My brother and sister are 6 and 10 years older respectively) and I see us four in your children. Definitely alternate universe childhood, keep it up!!
Thank you so much for continuing to share with us, clips from a trip that has already happened, as you still navigate through mourning the loss of your beloved sister. I know that anything social media-related requires ENERGY and so, I thank you for that. I wholeheartedly enjoyed every single video from your road trip. Sending you and yours so much light and love.
Theo: My entire family knows I like privacy
Me: Same Theo, same.
I love it when you guys share / post ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it's helpful to black families like mine.
Love Love Love you and your family. Some of the greatest times in my childhood were traveling with my family, mom dad and 5 kids in a station wagon.
Traveling with your family is a gift that keeps on giving for the rest of your lives. Bravo to you for being THAT Dad and always being there and doing for your family! Many blessings to you all!
Aniyah's opening words....GAHHHH, I was not prepared for all that preciousness. Yall stay chopping onions over here and I'm gon' stick beside ya! 💛
I claim y'all as my family! I love you all so much, I love how you love each other and how you love your children and how you love your family! Beautiful!
“Because we are together. We don’t spend this much togetherness.” As a family, how will you plan for more togetherness going forward?
Yes Glenn normal families do spend time like this. It makes beautiful memories. It also teaches you to notice each other instead of saying go to your room. That small space is manageable and it teaches us that if we stick together we can accomplish many thing in unity. Too bad your going home to your privacy that you so desperately want but those kids needed that time with you. I live with a son who is autistic and I have no closed doors but the front door. We live in a small place because he will destroy my house if I dont stay close. We go outside together and he cuts the grass and I prune my garden. Unfortunately there are no places for him to go. So be grateful because the only traveling I can do is watching CZcams.
As a former kid who was labeled “dramatic” and “sensitive” and made to feel shame about it constantly, just be careful with your words with Anayah. It broke my heart but also made me proud watching Anayah refuse to be called dramatic, but also watching her let go of her hug with Theo once Glen called her that. Obviously, y’all know your kids better than me, but I have a dad who was pretty reserved emotionally and didn’t attend to my sensitivity and I know how much that hurts and put a wall up in our relationship. Love your channel though, and love the transparency and your commitment to constantly being a better dad to your babies 💜
Beautifully said.
Shut up, he does a good Job. If he says his daughter is dramatic that’s just what it is. Nothing personal and your childhood trams shouldnt determine how he raises his children. Maybe you were just dramatic and STILL ARE honestly. The woman always has advice
just 🤫sometimes.
@@jonnylong8629 lol. She was beefy with the comment.. smh he knows his limits with his children, and is doing an awesome job as a husband and father.. his children are very cultured and free spirited as they should be..
@@jonnylong8629 your comment is super disrespectful. The OP is entitled to her opinion. She wasn't at all rude like you are being
Beleaf is a wonderful father..but cyndii i agree with your observation and can relate to your experience about being labeled as dramatic and sensitive as a child and it broke my heart and stunted my growth.So i understand where you are coming from..i will say though..anaya 's are deliberately more conscious of her and the things they want to pour onto her..so i honestly believe she will be more than fine.
I jus love Anaya!! She is so very cute and adorable ❤️
I loved Yvette’s response of “I don’t care” at the end😂! That’s how i feel too! I want ALL the (FULLY PRESENT) family time as possible! 🖤🖤🖤
Niyah has so much love for her family she's just like me, I'm very dramatic also lol. But seeing her hug her siblings and mom was so adorable I couldn't take it!!! If I'm away from my family for a day it feels like an eternity lol 🥰✨
My son is almost 12 and i pray for this level of patience with him one day. Thank you guys so much for sharing these moments with us and being vulnerable. 👏🏼 bravo
Now, Glen you know you was wrong for whispering about that fly while she was sharing something touchy. I guess this was payback for the bacon moment. 😅
Lol I was thinking the same thing. Also, the punishing the kids for complaining when that's all you wanted to do first half of the video. I say that with the upmost respect and love for your videos. Just thought it was funny. Gosh some on my most cherished memories are road trips with my family. The rv life looks ten times nicer then my brother and I sharing the back seat of a car to sleep. Your kids are going to look back so fondly of these times. You guys are killing it.
anayah and uzi’s dramatic run towards each other was so freaking adorable i had to play it back at least 10 times… they’re really growing close 🥺
✨There is nothing like a mother's love✨
Your are a man who love his family and is leaving a legacy. Showing your sons how to be wonderful strong black men proud of their being. Loving you wife, showing your daughter how she should be treated in how you treat her mother. Showing your accountability strong black man with your beautiful Queen at your side.God bless your family! I am Brinda from Houston Texas ❤️❤️❤️😊❤️❤️❤️
Uriah is a character
I thought she wasn't dramatic ;) freaking bundle of love is what she is!!
This was so kool to watch. Thanks for the "real" RV vision. I love how the children speak freely about how they feel and think. You guys are Fantabulous parents!! 💝💝 (Fantastic & fabulous)
It’s Anaya for me 😇smile and cute voice. I also love her attitude; sweetness with a small touch of sassy. 🥰🤗
This was such a great everlasting memory that they will have forever! Thank you for taking us on this journey with you! May God continue to bless this family!🙏🏾
That little girl is gorgeous. All y’all children have their own personality and they are so adorable.
The more you camp, the easier it becomes. This is awesome, and an experience that you all and the kids will remember forEVER.
She's not dramatic, she's just an adorable little girl!🤭😍😍😍 Keep up the great work !!
Being together ❤ adventuring together - honestly ? PRICELESS
I promise you will hear all the good about this trip and the others you will make. When they get older and coming back to visit you they will share the good times they had with their family. They will pass this on to their children and that will bless your hearts. Don’t stop.
What a blessing this was. Your children will never forget this vacation. You and your wife are very SPECIAL. I looked forward to seeing these videos. God bless you all. This Glorifies God., The Lord bless you and keep you. Cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace.. May He enlarge your territory. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
i hope riah never changes lil bro is a legend
Loved mom's response of why she didn't want it to end! I know that feeling of making treasured moments!! God bless
Lol I love you for filming real. Kids being kids and the not so perfect. They are so cute though🥰
Anytime I watch your videos, I always end it with a smile on my face. Big love to this family! ✨
Oh waw so much emotions while watching this ❤️❤️❤️. Yvette got her time and I love that. The chocolate babies are just so expressive, adorable and I also love that. Glen you are really working to be Father of the century 🎊🎊🎊
