Love 😊your family, I can see what happens when you live for the Lord, God blesses you in all areas of life !!!!!!

[@gabebikes]

I left Alaska this past summer after living in North Pole for 7 years. Thanks for these videos!

[@anaf.848]

My husband and I lived in AK for 4 years, and I THOUGHT I was excited when it was finally time to move back to the Lover 48. But it didn't take long until we both realized how much we missed living in AK. Now, our goal is to get back up there as soon as possible to raise our family. There's just something so unique and special about AK!

[@SavedBySweetGrace]

We live in Ontario. Canada, it's super cold and snowy here as well, usually. (Not so much this Winter), but when we go away and come back, we are always so excited to be home! I think it's because we are so used to life here, and so there is no place like home. :)

Greetings from Toronto, Ontario 💐💐💐💐

[@TexasbyStorm]

Evelynn is 100% Jessica's twin! Audrey is Jessica's mother and Garrett is Bert. Its so fun seeing family resemblances and see the family members kids take after.

[@chucklana161]

I love how Garrett takes over the 'dad' role. Has the 'dad' face, is responsile... You've done SO WELL with your kids.

[@momma8385]

Title isn’t click bait to me Just says Leaving Alaska - Title said nothing about moving from Alaska. Some people are just keyboard warriors . Thank you Somers family for another great video. God bless y’all!

[@nancywormington6030]

Great to see you Nana!

[@Cooper-Lawson]

I live in Palmer and feel exactly what you said about traveling! Love the moose!! Love them coming around the yard! I don’t feed them but they love all the plants and birch trees!

[@terryhackworth9464]

I get you. We live in a small Texas town but we have to go near Dallas to see my daughter and I am so happy to be home. Less people, less stress.

[@sonialevesquejalbert2735]

Congrats Evelyn! Thank you for taking us on your adventures ❤

[@lisaguion4862]

From TX, Army sent us to Fairbanks in 2016. Came back to TX after and missed everything about Alaska. Husband got out of military and found a civi job in Anchorage and we moved to Eagle River. Love the slower life, nature, and community here.

[@shannoninalaska]

Eagle River is a great place to live. I moved here in 2020 from Florida.

[@lplummerRD]

I completely understand the feeling of going home after being away. We live away from major cities, so after being away on vacation we love driving in at home. Nothing like HOME.

[@stephaniemckee-akafarmgirl]

Evelyn did such a good job! I love watching her meets! My favorite was the uneven bars and the floor routines.

[@suseyq4559]

No matter where I travel….I am always happy to get home. Routine is so important!

[@kerrypapworth1526]

Evelyn every time I see you compete I’m completely blown away with how much you have improved, well done and congratulations 🎉👏🏻🇦🇺

[@bradmacoz]

I fly from Melbourne Australia every 2 yrs and spend 6 to 8 weeks in Ak, sometimes around FB and sometimes around the Homer area. The people, the scenery, the animals and the weather makes me come back, Alaska is as different to anywhere in the world as Australia is. I get the best of both worlds!

[@purpleluna8413]

Ooh as an Aussie can I come too G'day from Albury😊

[@simonemoreno4324]

I hope they made a lot of precious memories

[@desertgirl483]

Im good living where the sun shines! I like watching cold places on T.V.😂

[@shellybielawski1773]

Great seeing Nana for sure. Great job Evelyn. Miss y’all!

[@jasonlarson7483]

Bert your comments are spot on!! It’s like you and I have lived the same experience of life.

[@tabithabjelland8028]

Evelyn did amazing with her gymnastics. Looks like you all had fun.

[@Wildcat221]

I love your videos and Alaska is super cool to visit, however I’d never ever live there 😂. For a multitude of reasons. But I’m glad you guys found somewhere you love 💗. One other thing I wanted to say was I think the support these kiddos get is so awesome. I grew up with the most supportive parents I could ever ask for, my mom never missed a game and I played 3/4 sports most of my life. My sister was a great athlete as well and my parents put us first year in and year out. It was huge for our development. I’m so thankful 🙏 seems to me your kids are also getting all those benefits and they’ll make great adults!! Well done 👍

[@conniesmith3922]

Congratulations Evelyn! Looks like a good time too! ❤

[@SillyMe2718]

Evelyn has real talent, can’t get over how much she has developed in her training. Congrats on your win! So awesome to see your Mom! ❤❤❤❤

[@tracymuckenfuss9697]

After Christmas i am so ready for spring. The beautiful view you gave us of the snow and animals...I can wait. How pretty was that. 😊 your Evelyn did so good. Thank you guys for another glimpse into your life. Take care.

[@CMri]

What you described about coming back home to Alaska from the bigger city is the exact feeling I had after covid and all the quarantines. During quarantine time the streets were empty, buses could take only a certain amount of people, shops had much less customers and as much as it was frightening it got comfortable and I prefered the quietness. After everything got back to normal I get so much anxiety around people, everything is too loud, too noisy, too many people, cars, everything. It's just too much. I wish I could live in a place like you, among the trees, in quiet... I get a glimpse of it through your channel, so thank you for that and all the best to you and your family.

[@tammyjeninga6413]

i am so proud of her great job

[@akbigdaddy100]

Your story about visiting the lower forty eight is so true I have tried moving outside several times and have come back every time, just something about being in a place that just feels so comfortable and not so congested. I even love to visit Anchorage but after a couple of days it is like I need to get home to Kenai, don't get me wrong the winter gets old not being a cold weather outdoorsman. I do love Alaska and the freedom we have here.

[@bunnifer23]

Amazing job, Evelyn!!! All your hard work is paying off!

[@ednajohnson8771]

Have a safe trip enjoy the nice sunny weather God bless you Somers family

[@barbthomas4492]

I love seeing Evelynn performing gymnastics! Thank you for that!

[@kathylane5934]

You did great Evelyn. Thank you for taking us with you. Loved seeing mom. I live in small place. Layed back and peaceful. Not like used to where you could leave doors unlocked but nice to be home

[@AK141415]

Wonderful job Evelyn! Love seeing her confidence! She has come so far since she got that beam and gymnastics classes on Christmas Day!!! We take a specific class in NH during driving lessons for what happens if you see a moose while on the road!!

[@whale5646]

Hello Somer Family. You didn't say how Eveyln did on her gymnastics meet. Look like you were having a great time. I have been to Alaska 7 times now but I always want to come back. One of these years I am going to have to come in the winter so I can play in the snow. Dont have much of that here in Florida. :)

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Great job Evelyn. I love watching you perform. I love nana. Good to see her always. Love the Somers.

[@JamieNowicki]

Hello Happy People🤍 I've missed you this busy year! So much has changed, it will take time to catch up on things. Praying for your family and sending blessing abound🤍 Awesome job Evelyn!

[@Lee-fh2wj]

Awesome video thanks for sharing x

[@tal23-tanika3]

Evelyn is growing so much. She’s beautiful. Congratulations!

[@janamunden1970]

Always look forward ⏩ to a video from you guys. Thank you for taking us along. It was a great experience and congratulations Evelyn you did awesome. Love from Ohio 💜

[@annrogers2489]

Congratulations Evelyn, wonderful seeing your mom, happy you all had a great time

[@mariahorsfield76]

Great job Evelyn ❤ god bles your family ❤ hello Nana ❤

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Excellent job Evelyn!!! Were all so proud of you😊 I'm sure your Mom loved the gymnastic competition and watching her grand daughter compete. Disney is always fun for adults, and kids. So sorry the rest of your family didn't get to go. Nice surprise at home with baby moose watching in the window with mama moose behind. I hear you on not having the wildlife that close to your home. In Oklahoma, I worry about the cougar (had one on our property), and bear. The other wildlife come, and go (bobcat, coyote, deer, owl, skunk, porcupine, possum, and snake). Welcome back home❤

[@lauraautry6992]

Wow I was almost scared to watch. Evelyn you did great 🤗❤️

[@tammycope3145]

Thank you for sharing your family with us!!!

[@tammycope3145]

Congratulations Evelyn!!! Wonderful to see Nana!

[@vikki4now]

It must be amazing to watch your child achive such great skill at such a young age. Beautiful job Evelyn.

[@laurabuchanan3428]

You and your mom cracked me up in the cars! So silly and fun!!

[@phillallen01]

Iam from the uk and we have total darkness from 4pm in the winter till about 8am but unfortunately no snow i know its nothing like Alaska but still we cant wait for summer when we get amazing sunshine

[@carolyngarrison10]

Great video, enjoyed seeing Evelyn compete! Also, was great to see your mom in a video again.

[@kimberlykelly7280]

I just noticed how much Audrey looks like her Grandmother! Good job at your competition Evelyn. Happy you had a getaway too!

[@trenarichardson690]

Evelyn, you are a rockstar and a beautiful young lady.

[@brigidholland5571]

My husband lived in Alaska as a young man and he often had animal visitors to his little cabin. Like you, he enjoyed them but kept them at a distance. Little Olivia is such a cutie! And the other kiddos too.

[@glendaruff125]

I went to Disneyland 13 times. I got paid one time to go. I and my friend had to keep up with a class of kindergarteners. Thank God they had on uniforms. It was an experience. Evelyn you did great! Good to see Nana.

[@Chewie-st1pi]

Love watching from Australia

[@apriljohnson2861]

Evelynn did a AMAZING job!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@susanwiley-grim7450]

Evelyn you are amazing! A sweet, shy girl growing into a beautiful, talented young woman. I absolutely love seeing your kiddos growing up. God Bless y’all

[@gillianlukasik5046]

Good job Evelyn !! And the moose were so amazing. I grew up in Maine and have seen them bur never that close!! God bless

[@Lucy_Williams]

Hi to all you happy peoples!! 😊

[@sjbutler2330]

Bert, I have only seen a moose in pictures. Good luck Evylyn! You go girl!!! 💙

[@lindagentile2380]

Excellent Evelyn... I am so... VERY PROUD of You... I live in Corona, California & haven't been to Disneyland in 30 years... You all look like you had a Blast... So HAPPY to see Nana... MEDIEVAL TIMES Near Knotts Berry Farm... Hugs & Blessings to you all 🙏❤️💖💙❤️... 💙💖💖🧸🐕

[@stephaniehowells2567]

I wondered that as well.

[@sarahallen9463]

Aww I remember watching Evelyn’s very first gymnastics class! She’s grown so much❤

[@silkeoconnor4061]

Until now I have only spent around 8 weeks in Alaska in a bit over a year . And it was mostly in the winter time. I get a feeling of inner peace once I am on my last leg of the journey to Fairbanks, it's difficult to explain. Hoprng to be back soon. Congratulations to Evelyn on her great achievements in California.

[@tracyroth-myers5574]

Evelyn kicks it! She’s awesome ❤

[@LoveServeOvercome]

I got scared for a second that you’re moving 🥹 I’m so glad that you had a fantastic vacation! 💖

[@debcokinis]

Fun times in sunny California! Evelyn was phenomenal with her gymnastics! GO EVELYN! 🤸‍♀️😊🤸‍♀️

[@Timothy-NH]

Evelynn, you rock!

[@carmendoyle9786]

So true about the city rush I left the city or Toronto 15 years again out north of Toronto now best thing ever ! Holy moose ! Lol

[@mariabolt3881]

No matter your home or where you visit, There's Nothing Better Than Your Own Home & BED!

[@lisaallen1601]

Congrats and a job well done for all

[@MaryDurst]

That baby moose wanted to say hi

[@charleneharrison85]

the moose looked so offended to be turned away! haha. I think one gave you side-eye.

[@Klaudyacampos]

Oh my gosh! I’ve never been so early!!! Hello happy peoplesssssss 😄😄😄😄😄

[@stealtheli]

Great job mom and dad. Brought back memories of my daughter

[@heatherj9029]

That is awesome all those kids and parents allow you to post these. Today so many people are sensitive about their kids being put online.

[@jessicasmith973]

I’ve never been to Alaska! It’s on my bucket list to visit but want to come when there’s no snow

[@HighSierraDawn]

You are so graceful Eveyln! Great job honey!!

[@bliastreb6466]

Hi Bert, Maine-Bert here. We go through pretty much the same love/hate-rural/city dichotomy as you do.

[@joannegiordano9409]

What a fun vlog! I laughed so hard seeing that baby moose looking in your window. So cute and funny. Good job Evelyn with your meet! Great to see your mom, Jessica.

[@deborahhopper2682]

Thanks for taking us along looks like y’all had a really good time! Loved seeing Evelyn compete she is really good! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always

[@karinjohnston4149]

Cute video, as always. Thanks for sharing your family and Alaska with us all.

[@melissakoon2097]

Aww they get to have the memory of going with grandma ❤ this so much

[@RockinStacy]

Great job Evelyn!

[@cathyreed6180]

It was in June 1979. Last time I was at Walt Disney World in Florida. Never been to the one in California and thinking about going to the amusement park at 60 years old. It doesn’t enthused me at all but I love watching other people go and have fun.

[@dotgoodwin4312]

My son was born in June 1979 ha

[@vernareed2692]

@cathyreed we went to Disney world in mid 1980s from Oklahoma. Think we stayed at Ocala,not sure, but it was not very far from Disney wherever it was,was nice.

[@elizabethannedavis5176]

I was missing seeing your family, and went looking for y'all. And I was unsubbed from y'all, I don't know how. But I'm glad I found and resubscribed. ❤❤ Much love from sunny Florida, way to go Evelyn!!!

[@tschandraheinze1680]

I moved from Atascadero California small tiny little country town. Lived and grew up on a ranch my grandparents built from the ground up. Amazing childhood but decided I was gonna leave and move to Palmer Alaska at age 17. So I drove from California to Alaska with my grandmother and have been here ever since. I am 39 now living in Wasilla Alaska. If I could go hoke for a month a few times I a year I would be happy as all my family is back home. What keeps me coming back to Alaska is this is where I become an adult. I love many things about Alaska that we just didn't have back home. It's 50/50 for me.

[@megcreates2.0]

Wow wow wow!!!😮 great Job Ev!!!!!! So impressive and you’ve improved so much since we lost seen you!

[@MrsZen1]

Hello Nana! So glad Garrett went with you. Congratulations Evelyn!!!

[@amberbamber001]

Welcome to Cali! Hope yall have a good time! And BRAVO to Evelyn!

[@belieftransformation]

Wonderful coverage of your trip & nice to see your mom & Evelyn’s wonderful routines that were so beautiful! Looks like you all had fun. Bert & Audrey, you did awesome looking after Olivia & the house. I live in winter Alberta & love to call it home…no place I’d rather be. Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦

[@judysorenson7922]

It's not like that in all the states. I live in the country in Michigan near about three small towns. We have all four seasons here and it is gorgeous during each season!

[@maureenboyle1926]

Congratulations Evelyn

[@danaa6283]

Your descriptions of traveling are interesting. I live 12 miles north of Seattle. I almost never go to Seattle and I work from home. I have the best of all worlds in my book. I am close enough to things I need but I am far enough from the problems of a big city.

[@zoe0abundant]

I feel like that sometimes when i visit other areas of country from Kansas. There's no place like home (🙄 appropriate but basically the only kansas reference people know). Some people call us fly over country, butbi think it's beautiful in its own way and a great place to raise a family.

[@Febfroggie]

I live in Florida and love it and I did visit Alaska this past summer fortunately we were there during the hottest week thank goodness because there is no way I would ever live with all that snow and cold. We are originally from Michigan and that was enough snow and cold so the best decision we made was moving south to Florida and have not regretted our decision one bit. I don’t know how you all tolerate that terrible weather. Wishing you the best.

[@staceylp39]

We have soaring here in Orlando Florida we love it we go often we are going to LA in march going to Disney going to be our 1st time we’re so excited we are big Disney fans!! Enjoy safe travels

[@27Eilene]

As a former New Yorker who lives in Florida, I couldn’t agree with Bert more. I wish I could snowbird in Alaska.

[@carmencirino4669]

I love watching your videos, thank for sharing🥰
