I love that even your "big" boys can just enjoy this life and not worry about being cool!

I am a 74 year old widow living in Kansas. I lost my hubby of 55 years last year. I fractured two vertebrae in April. I spent some time in the hospital. I am finally getting better. My husband and I loved travel, fishing and the magical beauty of nature. Your videos have kept me entertained during my long recovery. My goal is to do an Alaskan cruise sometime soon. Thank you.

I am so sorry for your loss Jill. Heal up and make your Alaska trip happen, it’s worth is.

The views from Mark's plane never get old, and it truly is spectacular being up above Alaska. Weston and Bennett are crazy swimming in that weather. Kids living their best life!!

@@ThisAlaskaLifeI live in Washington state and while we don’t get a lot of snow,one year it snowed a lot and kids were out in freezing temps. Kids just have no fear I guess😊

I really enjoyed watching your family enjoying each other! Our world needs more of this! Family is so important.💞

I drove 1000 miles in Alaska last week. drove to Whittier, ferried to Valdez. drove to Mcarthy ( rough!) then to Copper River, onto Fairbanks then back to the valley. We have been home 3 days and I am still exhausted!

It's always a treat seeing your adventures at the cabin! The time that you spend together as a family without distractions is so wonderful!

Loved this video. So nice of Mark’s dad to share the cabin. It looks very cozy. Love the bunk house! Have you ever seen a bear while using the outhouse? What awesome parents you are. The boys will have wonderful memories of their growing up years!

I have thankfully never seen a bear near the cabin. I have seen a few down the beach a long ways and the minute they see us or catch our scent they high tail it the other way.

My son and his wife were on a cruise to Alaska. He was impressed with all of the eagle congregations. This year they are off to Europe. They did like Alaska.

What a fun time, thanks for taking us along! great that the grandparents are also able to be there with the family, so many memories ❤

Hi y’all l love ur family the way u use raspberries & garden veggies. A clean living no alcohol. Many years ago l did have a beer after l washed my car. Also l decided not to drink. I take pain meds & l think it’s the best way to live. It makes life simple. Keep on living a wonderful life u & Mark r setting the bar high with great examples of how to live a clean life. Enjoy u travels & life in Alaska. It reminds me how my family did road trips & camping in our tent trailer that my Dad built & ordered canvas to fit. Great momories from childhood. ❤B.

Despite the cold, rainy weather it looks like y’all had an amazing time! Loved coming along with y’all

The best clams I ever ate was when I ate them with Bennett. He told me not to look at them. Just put it in your mouth. "Eat the whole thing". Truth. Nice glasses Everette.
