Jana Wissmann Duggar just shared an inside look at a massive Duggar family vacation.

On Sept. 19, Jana, the oldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Dugger, posted a vlog on her personal YouTube channel featuring a recent Florida beach vacation. The video, entitled “Vacationing with 40 Family Members… A Trip to Remember!” shows newlyweds Jana and Stephen Wissman as they tag along with the rest of the crew from 19 Kids and Counting

“My husband and I joined my family for a beach vacation shortly after getting married,” Jana wrote in the caption of the video. “It’s something we’ll never forget. Come along with us as we share the memories and fun from this special trip!”

The video starts with Jana and Stephen, who announced they’re expecting their first child back in August, as they make their way through the airport. Jana stopped for a “robot” manicure while Stephen watched college football on his phone. Eventually, the couple made it to the Sunshine State and began their trip with a leisurely stroll on the beach.

Elsewhere in the video, Jana showed clips of the family’s vacation home — which featured a pool perfect for the little ones. Though, a lot of the trip was met with cloudy skies and rainy conditions. Despite the weather, the adults made use of the property’s hot tub. 

In one clip, the family is jamming out to the music of their “favorite game to play on family vacation: QuipLash,” a joke writing party game. 

The family was sure to include plenty of walks to the beach, with arms and wagons full of beach gear like umbrellas, chairs, floaties and sand castle toys. 

At the house, the Duggar family matriarch Michelle was in the kitchen wearing an apron as she helped prepare the meals big enough to feed 40.

“Family tradition, walk the beach at night after supper,” Jana says in one clip, panning to her family enjoying the evening’s sunset. 

Towards the end of the video, the family got all dressed up in whites, creams and blues for a group photo, but on the way, the Florida rain returned. 

“Starting to rain while we’re trying to go get pictures,” Jana says walking side-by-side with Stephen. “But we’re still doing it.” 

On the beach, the rain continued as they went one-by-one getting their individual family photos completed. Meanwhile, the rest of the family members tried to gather under one umbrella. In the end, the family was able to capture the moment in one photo with all 40 family members, including Jim Bob and Michelle right at the center.

In one final clip, the family members gathered in the living room to sing “Sweet to Trust in Jesus,” with the lyrics on the TV screen for everyone to sing along. 

In the comment section, viewers celebrated seeing all the family members together again. 

“I so LOVE seeing Jim Bob and Michelle again, they are so missed,” wrote one viewer. “Thank you, Jana, for sharing your beautiful family [with] us.”

Another said: “I remember watching the little trips Jim Bob and Michelle took with their babies  and their babies are recording and sharing trips with THEIR babies. It’s such a blessing that you’ve all shared such beautiful memories with us!”

Jana’s video comes over 10 years after the family’s original reality show was canceled by TLC in July 2015.
