[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July! Though things didn't go as planned...you can never go wrong when you're spending time with family. I LOVE my babies so much and my heart is full when we're all together! 💗Thanks for hangin' out with us for another video!😘

[@sandramontoya9185]

Great job- Enjoyed every bit of it good and bad. I love watching y’all. God bless and happy fourth🇺🇸

[@coralsancetta7242]

Love how kalem calls Joe dad. You guys are so special.

[@dennisoverholts8396]

Hope he will get to stay with you guys if not he may struggle going back to his home life. I remember him saying that Joe is a much better Dad to him. 😢

[@Pam-ik3zu]

It melted my heart when he said that .

[@curtisep5885]

Fine young man. Anybody'd be proud to have for a son.

[@sallyfrenette9643]

I noticed that too. ❤

[@sallyfrenette9643]

Congrats on your rainbow. Nice. Looks like it was a great weekend after all.

[@patriciamueller3680]

How sweet! Kellen missed ‘Dad’ ! I pray he stays with you always, if it is God’s will!

[@kimaugust9920]

That just melted my heart hearing Kalyan call Joe dad and that he was worried about him. He really loves Joe, that other video when you guys were cooking hot dogs outside he loves it there because of Joe. He really is a good kid

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

He sure is. Sweetest ever!❤️

[@dianestrobl4787]

I pray Kellan will be adopted by your family🙏💞

[@dianestrobl4787]

I also love your son! He is so sweet and he and Kellan seemed to get along so well.

[@patriciamueller3680]

Parker is a wonder little man! Very special little Joe!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Absolutely!😍

[@patricksmith3316]

I noticed Kellen called Joe "dad". That brightens my heart!! ❤😊❤

[@blacksprucecabinak]

The best part about Wal-Mike's is meeting Mike. He's hilarious.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

He really is!🤣

[@Terri_in_Cali]

God Bless our Men who look over our families❤️🇺🇸

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Amen!

[@niania7022]

Kellen is so precious! Your whole family is! I love watching your adventures together. Kellen, don't ever lose that pure spirit you have. I love that he's not afraid to express himself.

[@teresacurtis2137]

Another great video...Tina youre always cracking me up. 😂 love that sense of humor..has anybody ever told Joe he looks a bit like Mel Gibson? It may be the eyes...anyway I just love your family and Alaska is so beautiful..thanks for all you share with us...💕😊

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

So funny! You’re like the 3rd person that’s said that about Joe & Mel Gibson! What a compliment!👏🏻

[@mullins809]

😭omg Kellen Kellen so sweet❤ I’m crying- I will pray to God that you can stay there long term - Through Jesus everything is possible 🙏

[@teresahunter7645]

In spite of a few troubles, the Watsons managed to have a wonderful 4th of July! 🧨🧨Maybe it wasn't meant for you all to be at the cabin this weekend. Congratulations on catching that beautiful rainbow trout! 🎣 I hope Joe's ankle gets better!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Thanks so much Teresa! Joe’s healing well. Bruising is gone now, he’s been icing it like crazy.❤️❤️

[@teresahunter7645]

@HomeFreeAlaska that's good! Hopefully you all can go to the cabin soon-in pretty weather & no problems with the boat! 🥰🙏🚤🎣

[@annaking9213]

Kales loves Joe so much. Joe is a special man.

[@4Ever4Ksa]

Joe, A good man and a father who works hard to make his family happy. I wish him a speedy recovery. Regarding canceling the trip plan, I may remember the famous saying that you hate something that disrupts or cancels your plans, and at the same time it is better for you, and I saw the happiness in all the family eyes in its alternative plans to spend the 4th of july.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Absolutely friend!

[@renatev.7473]

Hello to you all. Thanks for sharing your 4th July with us. Carry window cleaner and spray any Mosquito bite within the hour of being bitten. Takes the itch away, guaranteed!😊😊😊

[@imgoodru2840]

My ole arse in tears..... KALEN YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING.... I LOVE JOE & TINA DEARLY... RESPECT...YUP THAT TOO. KALEN U HAVE ME IN TEARS OF GOD GIVEN JOY. "I was worried about dad". Yes

[@trinaholland9749]

Loved the look on Parker's face at the bear balls😂😂😂 Love that Kellan feels comfortable calling Joe Dad ❤❤

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

I saw that too-Parker was like ehhhh ok then look!🤣

[@AngelBluff]

Kellen called joe Dad! I cried! Things just happen. Glad everything worked out. You guys are blessed!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Thanks so much!

[@2BOutspoken]

That was the sweetest thing ever to hear Calwin say how he cried cuz he was worried about dad🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@memitaylor4323]

What a blessing it is to see Kellen & Parker have a good Dad & Mom❣️ Lexi too💗 And Jame’s apart of the family ❤️. Rain & Hail, but a Beautiful Day🎉 Going to Wal Mike’s, there is nothing better then an old fool and his junk shop! Petrified Peckers 🤣😂. You’ll looked like real Americans when set in off the fireworks 🎇 😊.

[@hannahw4769]

You are guys are becoming my favourite Alaskan family. I find Alaska fascinating having been born in a farm in Kenya but now lives in London. I love how in winter it’s this beautiful snow covered beautiful scenery place and just like that this melts and underneath it are lush growth and fertile land full of goodness food/plants. If I could I would definitely live in Alaska. I visited Ireland and that place reminded me of Alaska, they even have bears, in a zoo of course. Sorry about my long rant, just saying I ❤️ you guys. Enjoy your holiday. Love from 🇰🇪 🇬🇧. I am glad that those mosquitoes do not carry malaria.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Thanks for the comment friend! So glad you’re enjoying our channel!❤️❤️

[@brigettamcelvogue6979]

You guys make me want to move to Alaska. 🥰

[@32prettyblue]

I absolutely loved this video. To me it was a beautiful testament of your family. It kept raining and even though you were looking for the sun you made the most out of the rain. Such a blessing to have found your channel. Oh and thanks for the laughs. 😊

Thank you! You too!

[@kathy5075]

Such a great family video, just having a great time being together, making adjustments as needed. Kellen is truly part of your family. Just hearing him worrying about dad. How wonderful is that. Praying he will permanently be part of your family. ❤️

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@rongray4847]

Hi Tina, Joe and kids, that was to bad having boat problems but that stuff happens and Joe will figure it out. Parker and Lexxy look so much alike you can sure tell they are brother and sister. You guys all have a blast together, that’s fantastic. Your s’mores looked good and was making me very hungry. I love the shops you have they are so quant and interesting. I felt bad for Joe with his ankle, it looked very sore. It sure doesn’t take much for the two boys to have a blast. Take care see you next video. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

Thanks Brenda!❤️😘

I'm so glad you listened to those God given instincts.

[@jackiedavis9035]

Did not want this vlog to end. Y’all had a more adventurous Fourth of July than we did. so glad that people on the river will stop and help each other or you could still be there. Try vanilla with water added in a spray bottle and give yourself a good spraying. Might help with The mosquitoes but if it doesn’t, at least you’ll smell good. Parker and Kallen are going to have the Best memories of this Fourth of July. If Kallen ends up going home after this year he going to Remember this year forever. A lot went wrong but that’s what made it fun for the family. 🫶🏻 🎇🎆🎇

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Thanks for the vanilla recommendation Jackie! I’m going to try it!👏🏻

[@belindaroberts3090]

I love how even when things didn't go as planned y'all still had fun 😃

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Absolutely!❤️❤️

[@Lake-girl2024]

Omg s’mores with peanut butter cups are the bomb

[@stacynebelung3823]

I’m also the kind of person who thinks that if things didn’t go as planned, maybe there’s a reason. Loved the video!!!

[@noelledevlin75]

Try using the thin reeces and Ghirardelli caramel squares. They would melt nicely

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Yum! 😋

[@lindahays8444]

Looks like a good time was had by all. Sorry your boat broke down.just a little hitch in the giddyup . Beautiful state Alaska.

[@laurasloan5882]

I loved this vlog!!! I had so much fun with you all celebrating the 4th, even tho I wasn’t there, but I have to admit seeing that jar of “balls” had me gaggy. Your so right, Tina, there’s a reason the remote cabin trip didn’t happen but you and Joe made it fun for everyone despite the boat not cooperating. Joe’s ankle looks so painful 😮 Looking forward to your next post and until then be safe and God bless you all ❤

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Thanks Laura!☺️So glad you enjoyed the video. Joe has been icing his ankle constantly-and all the bruising is gone!👏🏻 He’s healing well. Hard to keep him down tho lol!

[@ElaineHammond-l3l]

Oh my goodness, what an absolutely fantastic video. I agree with you 100% that things happen for a reason and look at the fantastic time you had. When Kellan cried because he was worried about Joe it was so precious. Parker was so cute with the trout. Lexi's dishwasher drawing was a hoot. And poor James with the bites o n his arm. Hope Joe's ankle is feeling better. I know I have mentioned it before, but I hope that God willing Kellan stays with you always. Thanks for sharing with us. We love you guys.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Thanks friend!❤️❤️

[@naomidonovan-perry2667]

Can't even imagine being cooped up in the tiny cabin with all the dogs and human bodies in the rain. You lucked out for sure.

Haven’t you ever been camping? We certainly don’t look at it as being “cooped” up! It’s a blast every time!😘

[@pappys-tinkering]

Reminds me of the best fishing trip ever. We checked every aspect of that old boat, plugs, wires, carb everything except the kingpin. Motor wouldn't swing so we couldn't steer, only go in a big circle. No problem if we wanted to up river we just headed down river. We still had a blast that day.

[@francesiadams7723]

You guys had a great adventure, glad every body is ok you can have 4th at the cabin , Hope his ankle gets better,

[@moonshotsilver]

Glad you made it back safe and were still able to have an awesome time. Sorry Joe rolled his ankle, that was some bruising that came out. Some crutches in storage wouldn't be a bad idea for unexpected accidents like that. Thank you for sharing again 👍🙏

Joe needs a Captain's Hat. That darn river is a beast!! and it moves so fast. I'm with you I would of got very scared when you lost the motor and being in the river with all the strong currents. OH Glad your all okay and that couple helped. That's So cool for me to see on your video. I can't image what it's like to see the Moose and her baby right there. She must feel your good people and won't hurt her and her baby!!
