SH ANNON suicide rates here in alaska are very high during winter. Me and my husband got here in November and with me not having a job and it only being light for a few hours a day I got really really emotional and sad.
I miss Alaska so much. With my health the way it is, I'm not sure I could live there anymore. Plus just got an implanted heart monitor. Every time I need uplifting, I love watching your channel. Your family is so full of love and faith.
When I was growing up. We had huge dinners with my great grandparents and grandparents every Sunday. Now that I'm 68 they are all gone now. So it's just me and my son. Went from about 40 relatives down too one. Wow!!! A huge difference.
When I was growing up I always had family gatherings on my moms side. But it seems that since my grandmother passed when I was 17 everyone just kind of scattered to the wind and we haven’t had our whole family together since. But I have faith that it will change ❤️ in the mean time I enjoy watching my favorite family in Alaska.
We live in northern Canada, all our bedrooms face west. We aren't quite land of midnight sun, it's dark from midnight to 3am. But it's light when we go to bed and when the kids go to bed. You get used to it. If you've ever napped during the day, you could fall asleep at night. Both our parents and siblings are within 15 minutes of us and we see them weekly at least. We go to my parents' farm on Saturdays to hang out and have supper.
I am very blessed to still have both my parents {79 this month and 84 in January} ... I go to my parents' every Sunday after church! My grandson loves to go with me. My daughters go, too, when they are not working.
Whomever that was singing in the video, you have some pipes!!! Definitely the kind of voice that will be a blessing to so many people. I am "new" to your channel. I don't know much about your family, but I can say that I love how the joy of the Lord is etched into everything that you do. I wish you all the best of luck and continual growth in your RUclips journey. As well as the favor of God on your lives and family, as a whole. Many Blessings!
I see my mum nearly everyday and we phone each other twice a day! We phone my father in law everyday and see him about twice a week! My husband and I are both only children so our family is tiny! Our eldest daughter lives in the city and we text most days and FaceTime 2-3 times a week! We may be little but we are close! 🤗 My friends are in my heart but we may meet up every few weeks or months but when we do it’s like we have never left! It’s a good life with family and friends which I feel very blessed to have!❤️ Loving your channel! Love and blessings from 🏴 Jackie x
We are on well water and have the same problem with the water turning brown after bad storms and earthquakes. We live in Oklahoma and have frequent earthquakes. It's a good idea to completely drain your hotwater heater, then let some water back in it and drain it again to clean it out.
I camped, hiked, and kayaked in Alaska this past summer in the prince William Sound. It was almost impossible for me to sleep. I was up til at least 2 AM every day.
My family moved across the country to Washington State. I haven't seen my family in a little over two years. I just recently got out of Van Life and bought a class a motorhome. Our plans are to travel to the family farm in Tennessee, go to my home state Colorado, and meet my family in Yellowstone. We will be going to Banff in Canada. This has been a long road with illness and obstacles. I moved mountains with prayer and finally got the go ahead from my medical team to travel. So all in all I'm looking forward to actually getting a chance to visit my family.
Great video guys Thank you for sharing your personal and precious family experiences. To answer your question our immediate family meet up are few and far apart. We hardly see each other at all but that's normal for our family. We video call and txt alot. Its nice to see such a close and happy family and community. Sharing Love and light happy people.
We get together with my family every Sunday. And my husband's parents live around us, my in-laws live right next us so we see them pretty much all the time.
My mom lives few streets away and i rarely see or hear from her i try but hey....my kids used to get upset now tgey do not even ask about her and we are not fighting ect but she has issues that keep her away or that keep me from bringing my kids by her(for their own safety and well being...i miss her she is my mom) but her sister my Aunt n godmother im extremely close to i see her alot . My mother in law just passed away and we lived upstsirs from her so we were blessed to have her in our life everyday for 10yrs and she was best mother in law ever ...and grandma ever so you take the good with bad though my kids do not know my mom well they were so blessed to have a magnificent woman in their lives she really was an amazing lady...love ur vlogs and Godbless have a wonderful day
I just recently stumbled upon your family’s vlog. It’s one of the highlights of my day now! I love Alaska so much and your family is just the cutest! Thanks for sharing your life with us and sharing the word of God 😊. It’s so refreshing to find such an inspirational family in today’s crazy world. Keep up the good work!! 17 more days and this Missouri girl will be back in Alaska!! But who’s counting 😆😉
Carri's 3RingCircus yes! Lots of people are extremely depressed here. Alaska has some of the highest depression rates across the US, and interestingly enough, actually pays people every month for living in Alaska because of how depressing it can get. Every month citizens of Alaska get a check in the mail or in the direct deposit for living in Alaska!
Hello from southern Colorado! ! Just came across to your channel tonight this is the very first video I've watched so far and I'm hooked to your family is adorable you guys are so upbeat and happy and just a breath of fresh air to watch. So I instantly hit subscribe and the bell :-) Alaska is one of two places on my bucket list to visit so I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos!
My whole family lives in the same city(surrounding areas). We used to get together with all my aunts, uncles and cousins every single weekend. Now we get together for every holiday and I still hangout with cousins pretty often. My dads whole family is in one GroupMe together, it gets interesting and pretty funny with everyone texting in there every day.
I do night shift, got black out curtains and use a eye mask, actually sleep better during the day, probably because I am so tired at the end of a shift, love your new home,
Be careful and check water. Here in Knoxville Tennessee today July 10th over 500 people here have developed E-coli with nausea and vomiting and diarrhea. It was from a Zipline resort in Gatlinburg in the Smoky Mountains. You have a beautiful voice. Grandma has a beautiful lake view.
I was born and raised in Fairbanks, and there is naturally occuring iron from the mountain run off into the Tanana Valley which affects the water from Salcha to Fox and pretty much in Fbx and surrounding area. Best to you!
We live thousands of miles from any family so we don’t see them often. We have adopted our “Alaska family” though (close friends from college and their extended family) that we spend a lot of time with.
In Denmark, it has almost not been raining since May. It is called a summer day when it is 25 degrees Celsius or more.🌞🌞🌞 We live close to my mother and our oldest daughter. We have 2-2.5 hours drive from our own home to the rest of our family.... 🚗 We would like to see our friends more often than we do now. So for baptism, confirmation and round birthdays we gather and party.🎉🎊🎈
Marianne Schønebeck Lucky you. We have up to 36 degrees celsius right now in Germany. Which isn’t normal at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Northern countries would get climate refugees from Germany/ France,...in 50 years
We live about 25 minutes from my family so we get together maybe once a week to two weeks. We see my fiancé’s family around 1-2 times a months. Love me some good family time!
1. Our hunting camp camper is on an old well, and our water is slightly off color and smells like iron-so gross! 2. Daddy, I hope you helped those poor fish out so they didn’t drown in the rain 😁 3. We usually see my family every week or so; we keep in regular contact with our extended family through texting and see them every month or so (they live about 100 miles away)
I knew you looked familiar! Im from Anchorage and as a family trip, I went to North Pole last weekend and I saw you and your husband at the gas station down the ways from the pioneer park!
I am an Austrian who has been living in Iceland for the last 5 years. I have absolutely no problem sleeping at night when the sun doesnt set at all. I usually am more confused when i go back home and its dark at 21.30 😂😀
Sometimes I forget that living in Alaska is different than the lower 48. Of course everywhere is a bit different lol. I've lived in Alaska my whole life
I live in South east Asia, basically 12hrs sunlight n 12hrs moonlight. On summer The sun sets 30-50mins late thn usual. 2 seasons only. Sometimes its feels like we only hv Summer here, coz in Rainy season, the sun still super hot tho. Only 1-2weeks heavy rain. U hv nice family btw 😊
My husband grew up in Alaska and his mom made thick quilts that she would then use as curtains, they were warm and darkening (and as she said a whole lot cheaper).
I live in a tropical country which is always hot nd sunny,,, how i wish we could experience to live there! What a lovely family, my parents seperated when i was only 10, so i never get to be close to either side of the family.
Unfortunately I can't see my family regularly. I'm Dutch living in the Netherlands in Western Europe and my parents are living on Aruba in the Caribbean,where my mother is from. My father and sisters are also Dutch. And to make matters worse one of my sisters lives in India since about 8 years. I wish I could see my family more often and when I see them it's really fun. I haven't seen my family for more than 10 years now so it's about time. I'm glad I have my own children now which I enjoy. And I love watching other people having fun with their families like you do. Having family means so much. God bless you all.🙏☺
The fish are gonna drown! 😂😂😂. So sweet, I love it 💜💜💜😂😊my son and I visit my parents every Sunday 😊 and rain is my favorite weather, especially in the fall 😊
How much are rentals there ?? For instance your home you were renting yourselves for instance ?? This is my new favorite channel . I love your family !!! Keep it up !!! You blessed to have family . Most of mine passed but my son his wife and my first grandchild I see at least once a week I relocated from Maine to Vermont to be closer !!! Family is a blessing!!
Hello from Australia!!! I just found your channel by "accident" yesterday and I am so pleased I did. I have always been very interested in Alaska and watch many shows about it. So finding and amazing kind, caring and smart family like yourselves has made my day. I look forward to growing with you. The video I watched was about how much money can you make in Alaska...I wanted to advise that you can make money anywhere around the world if you have the internet. I sell on Amazon FBA from Australia, I also sell on Merch by Amazon (print on demand) plus a lot more all from the comfort of my home all year round. Take care God Bless!!
That 'Star Spangled Banner' was beautiful! My husband is an Iraq veteran who is medically retired from the army. Would love to see a video with the whole song and not just an amazing snippet!
I'm so happy Abt connecting with you people who are living in such place which we cannot imagine ... please share your experiences and hows your routine in winter and summer ... thanks to you tube for connecting people from different corners of the earth surface who are living with different conditions...I wish could experience this .!!!......love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳 .....Ty for sharing ...🇳
I have a lot of experience maintaining wells, and other kinda of water systems. I'm not sure if you have one, but your water colouring could be due to tannins in the water, potentially look into a tannin filter if you don't have luck with what you're currently doing.
My first ever experience with the Midnight Sun was June of 2017. A few minutes before the Solstice, I arrived at the Arctic Circle. How's that for perfect timing. From that point on, it was 24 hours sunshine. Try driving at 10pm Alaska time (2am East coast time where I live) with the sun shining directly in your face on the Dalton Highway. I had to put down the sun visor. Made it to Coldfoot around 3am (Alaska time). Grabbed a few hours catnap at the Interagency parking lot. A few hours later had breakfast at the truck stop in Coldfoot before heading back OTR south to Fairbanks and tonight's Midnight Sun ballgame which was the intended purpose for the trip. Stopped again at the Arctic Circle. I'm glad I did too. The BLM was there handing out I crossed the Arctic Circle certificates. I got 2 - one for each direction. At the ballgame, the Goldpanners lost the game 4-2. After the ballgame, I was back OTR, this time to Canada and the Dempster Highway. Flying to Anchorage, driving the Parks Highway to Fairbanks, attending my first Midnight Sun game, driving to Yukon, Canada on the Dempster Highway to the Northwest Terrority border was the greatest adventure of my life. Coming back in June to finish the Dalton to Prudhoe Bay and polar bear dip into the Arctic Ocean and finish the Dempster Highway to Inuvik and the newly completed highway to Tukuyatok and a Canada dip into the Arctic Ocean.
It’s really cool to see the extremes, I’m from and live in Costa Rica and since we are fairly close to the equator, our days are almost the exact same throughout the entire year. Pretty much 12 hours of direct sunlight and then 12 of total darkness. The northernmost place I’ve been to when it comes to the American continent is Glacier National Park in Montana, and in Europe it would be Germany. So haven’t experience midnight sun yet, but I would love to go to Alaska!
When I was younger and my mom's side of the family was closer-knit we would get together all the time, a lot of times it was very spur of the moment. Now, we don't get along as well anymore so I don't see most of them and the others only on holidays. My dad's family is here about 45 minutes from me, but he lives out of state and my parents are divorced, so I see them very rarely.
Tbh my aunt (mums cousin) is really the only person we see very often as some others live on the other side of town or overseas 🤗😣 we do get to see them when there’s weddings or engagements or any of the BIG events/moments of life unfortunately we don’t have random gatherings because of how huge my family is and how busy every single one is etc life tends to get in the way which is fair enough but at least I get to see them at the big events 😌
I see my dad every day to latest every 3. day as me and my husband are his carers. My sister not so much, maybe once a month and as my aunt and cousins live on the other end of Germany I see them every couple of years. Facebook and what’s app are a blessing in this case. We see my husbands parents maybe every two weeks, and his siblings even less than my sister. Things are difficult with our siblings.
Also can y'all keep me in your prayers? I Am going to Peru on a missions trip on the 16th! I will be there for 2 1/2 weeks! Im excited to see what God will do in my life as well as the people in Peru!
This was so cool to watch! I just found your channel ☺️ my husband has always wanted to go to Alaska, I’m sure we will one day. To answer your question, we see my in laws at least once a week, for the most part and we try to have family dinner every other week. It’s my favorite, I love every time we all get together. 😊
I live 4 hours from any of my family. Texas isn't as big as Alaska, but still very big! I don't see them as often as I should or would like, but I make due.
We live walking distance to some of our family but it is still challenging to get together for very long as our schedules are never in synch. My family is a long way away but we have lots of friends nearby so have plenty of people to share life with.
I live about 1800 miles away from my family but so bless to have amazing friends and my husband family. We get together at least once a week for a family dinner. I absolutely love watching your family videos. God bless you family!
You are doin' it right! After the long dark winter, we'll take all the sunlight we can get! And really, you do get used to sleeping in the midnight sun :)
Oh my goodness, when little man said "Its not okay to bring swords.. nope!" And then when the little miss said "The fish are going to drown!" Lol! Too cute!
Beautiful voice Jessica!! Also the girls are following along in your footsteps!💕 Out of curiosity Bert, why do you go by that instead of Gilbert? I am married to a Gilbert as well and we have several nicknames for him! To answer your question we see our family at least two or three times a month since they moved 45 minutes away. Before that we saw them about once a week.
I live in Los Angeles California and my whole family on my moms side lives in Michigan so i only see them during the summer. But i see my family on my dads side once a month!
The bigger question is... how do you live in 24 hours of darkness!? Especially during the winter!? Does it get depressing and difficult?
SH ANNON suicide rates here in alaska are very high during winter. Me and my husband got here in November and with me not having a job and it only being light for a few hours a day I got really really emotional and sad.
It's not 24 hours of complete darkness. But, however, we do get only a few hours of sunlight in the winter time.
Also, for me personally, I don't really get that depressed here in the winter very often.
Make sure to take vitamin D supplements
Id like it dark for a while cuz im sensitive to the sun and light.
Yup! Born in Alaska. It's no big deal. Loved playing outside until late. Really late!:-)
I am born and raised in Alaska and sleeping in the midnight sun is like sleeping in the dark night's in the winter.. No difference, just sleep.
but you're Alaskan so its easy for you to say. It won't be the same for outsiders
I miss Alaska so much. With my health the way it is, I'm not sure I could live there anymore. Plus just got an implanted heart monitor. Every time I need uplifting, I love watching your channel. Your family is so full of love and faith.
“The fish are gonna drown!!” GOLDEN 😂
We eat at my husband’s 94 year old grandmother’s house almost every Sunday. And she cooks most of the food! We are so thankful to still have her.
When I was growing up. We had huge dinners with my great grandparents and grandparents every Sunday. Now that I'm 68 they are all gone now. So it's just me and my son. Went from about 40 relatives down too one. Wow!!! A huge difference.
When I was growing up I always had family gatherings on my moms side. But it seems that since my grandmother passed when I was 17 everyone just kind of scattered to the wind and we haven’t had our whole family together since. But I have faith that it will change ❤️ in the mean time I enjoy watching my favorite family in Alaska.
“The fish are going to drown.” 😂😂😂 I love the innocence of children. So funny.
We live in northern Canada, all our bedrooms face west. We aren't quite land of midnight sun, it's dark from midnight to 3am. But it's light when we go to bed and when the kids go to bed. You get used to it. If you've ever napped during the day, you could fall asleep at night. Both our parents and siblings are within 15 minutes of us and we see them weekly at least. We go to my parents' farm on Saturdays to hang out and have supper.
My family and I meet up once a week after church for family dinner. EVERYONE! That means spouses, kids, parents, EVERYONE.
I am very blessed to still have both my parents {79 this month and 84 in January} ... I go to my parents' every Sunday after church! My grandson loves to go with me. My daughters go, too, when they are not working.
Whomever that was singing in the video, you have some pipes!!! Definitely the kind of voice that will be a blessing to so many people.

We have a friend group from college & we meet every Sunday for Sunday Funday. We eat a meal & our kids play. They are our family!
I see my mum nearly everyday and we phone each other twice a day! We phone my father in law everyday and see him about twice a week! My husband and I are both only children so our family is tiny! Our eldest daughter lives in the city and we text most days and FaceTime 2-3 times a week!

Black out curtains are a MUST! I work night shift at the hospital and recently moved to an apartment. Need my black curtains for sure!
We are on well water and have the same problem with the water turning brown after bad storms and earthquakes. We live in Oklahoma and have frequent earthquakes. It's a good idea to completely drain your hotwater heater, then let some water back in it and drain it again to clean it out.
I camped, hiked, and kayaked in Alaska this past summer in the prince William Sound. It was almost impossible for me to sleep. I was up til at least 2 AM every day.
That sounds about right:) eventually you get used to it:)
I love your vlogs. The family whom we shared all holidays with are in heaven.
Wal-Mart has a great selection (in store) of black out curtains, they're nice and thick too.
My family moved across the country to Washington State. I haven't seen my family in a little over two years. I just recently got out of Van Life and bought a class a motorhome. Our plans are to travel to the family farm in Tennessee, go to my home state Colorado, and meet my family in Yellowstone. We will be going to Banff in Canada. This has been a long road with illness and obstacles. I moved mountains with prayer and finally got the go ahead from my medical team to travel. So all in all I'm looking forward to actually getting a chance to visit my family.
These ppl seem so genuinely happy. I want that. I feel like I was born depressed
Great video guys Thank you for sharing your personal and precious family experiences.
To answer your question our immediate family meet up are few and far apart. We hardly see each other at all but that's normal for our family. We video call and txt alot. Its nice to see such a close and happy family and community. Sharing Love and light happy people.
I love seeing how other people live in environments very different than mine, which is the mid-west, Saint Louis, Missouri. Awesome video blog.
We get together with my family every Sunday. And my husband's parents live around us, my in-laws live right next us so we see them pretty much all the time.
My mom lives few streets away and i rarely see or hear from her i try but hey....my kids used to get upset now tgey do not even ask about her and we are not fighting ect but she has issues that keep her away or that keep me from bringing my kids by her(for their own safety and well being...i miss her she is my mom) but her sister my Aunt n godmother im extremely close to i see her alot .

guess what What’s your issue?!
I just recently stumbled upon your family’s vlog. It’s one of the highlights of my day now! I love Alaska so much and your family is just the cutest! Thanks for sharing your life with us and sharing the word of God 😊. It’s so refreshing to find such an inspirational family in today’s crazy world. Keep up the good work!!
17 more days and this Missouri girl will be back in Alaska!! But who’s counting 😆😉
I live in Canada and I put blackout curtains up hahah!! I hate getting woken up with light
Summer rain ~ the best!!
I really miss Sunday suppers at Mom’s - she passes in ‘11 - it’s not the same without Mom.
Do people suffer depression a lot there when it's dark for long periods of time?
Carri's 3RingCircus yes! Lots of people are extremely depressed here. Alaska has some of the highest depression rates across the US, and interestingly enough, actually pays people every month for living in Alaska because of how depressing it can get. Every month citizens of Alaska get a check in the mail or in the direct deposit for living in Alaska!
Carri's 3RingCircus the hunt is on
Amy Gao oh wow.. that's crazy
Carri's 3RingCircus they suffer from low Vit D
Amy Gao
Do people use light therapy for depression? That would probably be a really good idea for living there
Hello from southern Colorado! !

Everyday is family day.
Its breathtaking in Alaska. So beautiful such a blessing.
Be careful and check water. Here in Knoxville Tennessee today July 10th over 500 people here have developed E-coli with nausea and vomiting and diarrhea. It was from a Zipline resort in Gatlinburg in the Smoky Mountains. You have a beautiful voice. Grandma has a beautiful lake view.
We actually have family problems so most of us don't talk together but the other family that we still talk with and try to help them out when we can.
I was born and raised in Fairbanks, and there is naturally occuring iron from the mountain run off into the Tanana Valley which affects the water from Salcha to Fox and pretty much in Fbx and surrounding area.
Best to you!
I live in Alaska as well, and it’s sooo bright when I go to sleep!
I’m in (& from) England and I only see what is left of my family every Christmas.... My Dad does in 2010 and I see my Mum as & when. That’s about it x
We live thousands of miles from any family so we don’t see them often. We have adopted our “Alaska family” though (close friends from college and their extended family) that we spend a lot of time with.
In Denmark, it has almost not been raining since May. It is called a summer day when it is 25 degrees Celsius or more.🌞🌞🌞
We live close to my mother and our oldest daughter. We have 2-2.5 hours drive from our own home to the rest of our family.... 🚗
We would like to see our friends more often than we do now. So for baptism, confirmation and round birthdays we gather and party.🎉🎊🎈
Marianne Schønebeck Lucky you. We have up to 36 degrees celsius right now in Germany. Which isn’t normal at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Northern countries would get climate refugees from Germany/ France,...in 50 years

My husband grew up in Alaska and his mom made thick quilts that she would then use as curtains, they were warm and darkening (and as she said a whole lot cheaper).
The house just keeps getting closer to being done. I can't wait. So excited for you 😇. Our family, often
I spend a lot of time with my mother in law. I see my best friend every other week sometimes more. Being a mom takes priority for me.
I live in a tropical country which is always hot nd sunny,,, how i wish we could experience to live there! What a lovely family, my parents seperated when i was only 10, so i never get to be close to either side of the family.
Unfortunately I can't see my family regularly.
I'm Dutch living in the Netherlands in Western Europe and my parents are living on Aruba in the Caribbean,where my mother is from. My father and sisters are also Dutch.
And to make matters worse one of my sisters lives in India since about 8 years.
I wish I could see my family more often and when I see them it's really fun.
I haven't seen my family for more than 10 years now so it's about time.
I'm glad I have my own children now which I enjoy.
And I love watching other people having fun with their families like you do.
Having family means so much.
God bless you all.🙏☺
We go to my grandmas house from my moms side every Friday and my dads side every Thursday with all my cousins and aunts and uncles...
You Can Sing Girl!
Naomi Beery Awe thank you!😊💕
The fish are gonna drown! 😂😂😂. So sweet, I love it 💜💜💜😂😊my son and I visit my parents every Sunday 😊 and rain is my favorite weather, especially in the fall 😊
Nice to see the girls singing, and the rest of you having a great time. God Bless.
I dont get with family that often but i go to a friends house once a week.

Most of mine passed but my son his wife and my first grandchild I see at least once a week I relocated from Maine to Vermont to be closer !!! Family is a blessing!!
I love the weather in Alaska! I know winter is hard and I’ve never lived where it snows more than 2-3 times a winter and then only about 2 inches..
The new house is going be beautiful, and I love your hair - color, and curl

I only get to see my family every two years. We just finished our visit to the U.S. It was some of February through June. It was longer this time yay!
My family gets together once or twice a week for dinner and or a movie night. The house looks so nice so far and wow your voice is AMAZING! ❤️
I'm so happy Abt connecting with you people who are living in such place which we cannot imagine ... please share your experiences and hows your routine in winter and summer ... thanks to you tube for connecting people from different corners of the earth surface who are living with different conditions...I wish could experience this .!!!......love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳 .....Ty for sharing ...🇳
I have a lot of experience maintaining wells, and other kinda of water systems. I'm not sure if you have one, but your water colouring could be due to tannins in the water, potentially look into a tannin filter if you don't have luck with what you're currently doing.
My first ever experience with the Midnight Sun was June of 2017. A few minutes before the Solstice, I arrived at the Arctic Circle. How's that for perfect timing. From that point on, it was 24 hours sunshine. Try driving at 10pm Alaska time (2am East coast time where I live) with the sun shining directly in your face on the Dalton Highway. I had to put down the sun visor. Made it to Coldfoot around 3am (Alaska time). Grabbed a few hours catnap at the Interagency parking lot.
A few hours later had breakfast at the truck stop in Coldfoot before heading back OTR south to Fairbanks and tonight's Midnight Sun ballgame which was the intended purpose for the trip.
Stopped again at the Arctic Circle. I'm glad I did too. The BLM was there handing out I crossed the Arctic Circle certificates. I got 2 - one for each direction.
At the ballgame, the Goldpanners lost the game 4-2.
After the ballgame, I was back OTR, this time to Canada and the Dempster Highway.
Flying to Anchorage, driving the Parks Highway to Fairbanks, attending my first Midnight Sun game, driving to Yukon, Canada on the Dempster Highway to the Northwest Terrority border was the greatest adventure of my life.
Coming back in June to finish the Dalton to Prudhoe Bay and polar bear dip into the Arctic Ocean and finish the Dempster Highway to Inuvik and the newly completed highway to Tukuyatok and a Canada dip into the Arctic Ocean.
Wow rain I remember that(irish heatwave) and jessy good god she's back in your lives what a blessing to both families
It’s really cool to see the extremes, I’m from and live in Costa Rica and since we are fairly close to the equator, our days are almost the exact same throughout the entire year. Pretty much 12 hours of direct sunlight and then 12 of total darkness. The northernmost place I’ve been to when it comes to the American continent is Glacier National Park in Montana, and in Europe it would be Germany. So haven’t experience midnight sun yet, but I would love to go to Alaska!
When I was younger and my mom's side of the family was closer-knit we would get together all the time, a lot of times it was very spur of the moment. Now, we don't get along as well anymore so I don't see most of them and the others only on holidays. My dad's family is here about 45 minutes from me, but he lives out of state and my parents are divorced, so I see them very rarely.
It looks so BEAUTIFUL when it rains!!! 💜💜
I get together with my family on holidays.
Everyday. I work for my mom. So I always see my mom.
I just found your channel and it’s great. Our family gets together at least once a week. We’re really close.
Tbh my aunt (mums cousin) is really the only person we see very often as some others live on the other side of town or overseas 🤗😣 we do get to see them when there’s weddings or engagements or any of the BIG events/moments of life unfortunately we don’t have random gatherings because of how huge my family is and how busy every single one is etc life tends to get in the way which is fair enough but at least I get to see them at the big events 😌
I see my dad every day to latest every 3. day as me and my husband are his carers. My sister not so much, maybe once a month and as my aunt and cousins live on the other end of Germany I see them every couple of years. Facebook and what’s app are a blessing in this case. We see my husbands parents maybe every two weeks, and his siblings even less than my sister. Things are difficult with our siblings.
Beautiful singing! I would love to visit Alaska. .
Also can y'all keep me in your prayers? I Am going to Peru on a missions trip on the 16th! I will be there for 2 1/2 weeks! Im excited to see what God will do in my life as well as the people in Peru!

God plans to sacrifice you to the Peruvian people.🤯
God is dead
ahhh, the "originalist". I have never heard what you just said before. ever. hmm I wonder how you came up with that?
“The fishes are gonna drown!!” 😂❤️
Most of my family is up north. I’m in Florida now. I see my sister in law and her hubby once a week - my relatives maybe once a year.
Your place is so beautiful such good energy
This was so cool to watch! I just found your channel ☺️ my husband has always wanted to go to Alaska, I’m sure we will one day.
To answer your question, we see my in laws at least once a week, for the most part and we try to have family dinner every other week. It’s my favorite, I love every time we all get together. 😊
Dang Jess You sung that American song Greatly 🎤🎵 Go God in America 😄😇✝️
I live 4 hours from any of my family. Texas isn't as big as Alaska, but still very big! I don't see them as often as I should or would like, but I make due.
WOW, the rain the trees and greens just takes me breath away very beautiful!
Our family gets together very often. It was a lot more when we all lived in the same town, but we are a little more spread out!
Just watch Aunt Heidi and Mr Christians RUclips Christmas Vlogs and you guys have a new subscriber. Cali girl living in Japan.
That was great loved the children singing happy video thank you
We live walking distance to some of our family but it is still challenging to get together for very long as our schedules are never in synch. My family is a long way away but we have lots of friends nearby so have plenty of people to share life with.
Aawww...i really like the last part.Such a adorable kid.I love alaska actually🤗
I live about 1800 miles away from my family but so bless to have amazing friends and my husband family. We get together at least once a week for a family dinner. I absolutely love watching your family videos. God bless you family!
Sunday is family day!!
You are doin' it right! After the long dark winter, we'll take all the sunlight we can get! And really, you do get used to sleeping in the midnight sun :)
Oh my goodness, when little man said "Its not okay to bring swords.. nope!" And then when the little miss said "The fish are going to drown!" Lol! Too cute!
Very often my cousins and grandparents live literally one town over and both my town and theres are small towns.
Beautiful voice Jessica!! Also the girls are following along in your footsteps!💕
Out of curiosity Bert, why do you go by that instead of Gilbert? I am married to a Gilbert as well and we have several nicknames for him! To answer your question we see our family at least two or three times a month since they moved 45 minutes away. Before that we saw them about once a week.
I live in Los Angeles California and my whole family on my moms side lives in Michigan so i only see them during the summer. But i see my family on my dads side once a month!
Happy People..Happy Family..
