Alaska Salmon Fishing! Smokin' Salmon | Parker's 11th Bday Surprise + Insulating the Chicken Coop...

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

The freezer is quickly stocking up for winter with beautiful wild Alaskan fish. A full bowl of fresh chicken eggs on the counter from the girls & moose season is NEXT month! Nothing gets me more excited than fresh food for my family! What an awesome birthday surprise for little Parker! We had a wonderful day with the boys on the river. The smoked salmon recipe & egg salad recipe I shared are linked in the video description!😘An experience we'll never forget & surely be doing more of before salmon season is over. Mixing a little fun with work, we got most of the chicken coop insulated but we still need to finish the rest before the 1st snow fall. Little by little we're getting that "to do" list done while still enjoying all Alaska has to offer! Thank you to EVERYONE for the beautiful birthday wishes for Parker! I've read them all to him as he smiled from ear to ear! Have you ever been salmon fishing? Thanks for hangin' out with us for another video, cheers friends!☺

Thank you for encouraging Joe to wear safety protection gear… mask, goggles etc. That way he remains heathy 🎉

Obviously fall is creeping in on your guys with the cold air forming vapors over the surface of warm water! And the winter coats!! From a suburb of Dallas, Texas which reached 110 today! That’s what we wear during the winter!!! Just sprinkling the outside brick walls of the house has cooled the inside of the house!! What a concept!!! Brought the youngest (2 and 3 1/2 yrs olds) out of 5, (15, 16, 17) to Little Elm, TX inside water park! It was fun but not anywhere like experiencing growing up in New England! Exploring nature, Navigating the rocks through the streams, finding tat-blots, and salamanders under rocks,camping, going to Cap Code, Hampton Beach in Maine. Gardening with my Nana and Papa gardening eating fresh veggies and making PICKLES! I can’t say enough of how much your channel has renewed and restored my spirit and soul helping my 87 yr father battle bladder cancer! He and my mom (86) look forward to your posts! Thank you! I’m so very grateful! Blessings to you ALL!

It is the actual 14th here in Oz, so Happy Birthday to Parker. What an education and life experiences you are providing these 2 young men (and many viewers also I bet) with the videos you compile. Loving them and living the life vicariously through you. Keep up the great work.

What an amazing experience! And give that guide a raise! He was amazing with the boys!

[@anitahendershot3754]

All I can say Tina is that you are blessed and a blessing. I thought of Kellen while you all were fishing and I wondered how he processes what he’s living. Kids some times don’t get it right and it can harm they need some truths dropped in their paths. Does he compare himself to P. Does he understand why their is a difference in your relationship with P. It’s natural for you to have a stronger bond with P but you’re growing to love him more as time goes on. P is different from Kellen but different doesn’t mean better. He needs to find and embrace his talents they are there. Your choice to bring him to Alaska is so life changing for him. The memories and experiences, the stability, the belonging to family. God has smiled on him through you. Also, I wish that my husband would have been even half the man Joe is. Be thankful for him there are many out here that feel the same as I do. Thank you Tina for all you do.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

We have a lot of heart to heart conversations with Kellen. He’s very aware of the family dynamic.❤️❤️

[@CR-cd3bx]

Exactly……. I LOVE WHEN Kellen breaks out in dancing! My grandchildren are mixed and that is part of their culture!!!! Loved to see more screen time of Kellen celebrating his joy and happiness through his dancing!

Great fishing trip, and an awesome experience for the boys! Be careful not to have the chicken coop to tightly closed off from ventilation. There has to be a way of ventilating the ammonia generated from the poop, and the humidity created. The main concern is that they don't get a draft. The Salmon looked awesome!! 😋😋
