Okay, yes, that's totally sweet, and I don't want to be all cynical about it but...
it creeps me out a little that they are able to be that natural, and that adorable, with a camera-person tracking their every move. I mean, there are none of the rookie mistakes (looking at the camera, talking too much or too little, etc.) it just all seems like a total slice of life - but there's a camera right there!
I don't really know what to make of it...I think the least cynical interpretation is that they've just gotten so used to cameras that they don't even notice them any more, but that's kinda sad in itself. Especially the kids - I wonder how this whole experience will affect them?

I believe that would be due to the edits. They probably clipped out all the parts where they talked to the camera or stumbled or whatever. There's a few points where the edits are pretty obvious.
Long lens? I've found that using a telephoto lens from across the room results in far more natural photos of my nephew, because he's not playing to the camera.

(but they seem to be in a motorhome, so there's really not THAT much room for the photographer to distance him/herself)...
