So happy that you all are enjoying all the beautiful scenery and time together during this journey to your dream come true. I love your dogs!!! I love their high energy and how well trained they are. Wish I would have known about that breed in my younger years because I would have loved to have a pair. I hope the weather is good for your trip on the ferry. I just love seeing people, especially families, having such a great time together. God Bless and Protect you all!

[@digbighoesapparel8040]

It’s nice to see y’all again. Very nice trip to the Ark encounter I know that was educational for Parker. Thank you for sharing.🎃

[@brendamelander5942]

The Ark Encounter is one of the greatest places we have ever visited. My husband really didn’t want to go and once we got there he really didn’t want to leave. I hope you enjoyed it.

[@Ljungbacken7181]

I loved it. Dident even know it existed.

Thank your husband for his service.

[@Patricia-uz3fm]

The trip is going great. I loved the Ark. Thanks for giving us a tour.

[@canamrider7195]

I really like your dogs. They are going to love the freedom of your new place. My little one is a smaller replica of yours and she is constantly on patrol. Deer, Turkeys, Bears, the UPS guy, etc she lets me know when they are violating my space. She also use to keep vigilance for squirrels but she has finally learned to let them be. Falling pine-cones also, which thankfully she grew out of that quickly. That was maddening.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Oh how funny, falling pine cones!😂

[@sharonrodgers-tennant8598]

Hi I'm following you from Jamaica I enjoyed the scenery so excited for you guys

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Parker said, “Woaw Jamaica!”🤣♥️

[@dwannamontriel58]

I hate those wind mills.

[@irisashton9295]

Hi that ark was amazing to see thank you for taking us along with you ❤️

[@antondefense3325]

Building that Arc was a huge undertaking.

[@mountaincabindiaries1592]

We travel with you guys, excited. Hope in spring we be in Alaska too. Good bless you!

[@WellaWally65]

Wow! Amazing! Thank you! May God bless you, and keep you healthy and safe!

[@TinaReutin]

Good getting to know this family: the quirky Tina, stoic Joe, happy-go-lucky “P”, the adorable pups. Just found this channel. Am looking forward to the rest of the trip.

[@lisaguenther6634]

Hello! Awesome that you all can Enjoy some of the sights while passing through!!! 🌈 Praying for your travels and Joe’s retirement.

[@vernareed2692]

Beautiful country¡ I love Cracker Barrel, and they have so many pretties!! A couple years ago I took my grandsons there to eat after church,& my younger one(11-12)found an electric keyboard with mic,$20!!!

[@christinestephenson1742]

My husband and I saw the Ark in 2018 during an RV trip through the Midwest. It was definitely one of the high spots of our trip! Also enjoyed seeing Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum and the Kentucky Horse Park. Thanks for taking us along on your trip. I love the farmlands of the Midwest, that's where I was raised!

[@imgoodru2840]

RESPECT! So my 21yo & his gf just came home from a Halloween store. Are sitting here painting their masks. Im watching you guys. He asked about y'all...took a break from painting to watch the ark info... After I told him your story... "Ma thats gonna make ppl not want to join our military. That's disres to that dude Joe .. makes me mad. Did u cal pops?" I told him I did. Lol so you have support from the gen ..what are they now?

[@nicolemartin8737]

It’s funny that I immediately recognized the Mississippi River as you drove into Iowa. I grew up there but moved away to join the Army in 95. I now live in the Mat-Su Valley in Alaska. You’re almost home to enjoy the snow we just got yesterday. Welcome!

[@sharonsteele8915]

I am so enjoying this journey with y'all ❤️, I loved the ark experience, thank you for taking me a long with you..can't believe how well Bradley and Gunner are trained and behave. Continued prayers for a safe journey home to Alaska 🙏👍🤗

[@juanikelly3005]

I’ve always wanted to go there! Since I am now retired, I may just take a road trip there (I hate to fly)!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Me too! I hate flying!

[@debbieledbetter5147]

So glad you got to visit The Ark while here in KY! I'm enjoying catching up on your videos, so glad I found your channel. What a great life you're living!

[@Tanacarroll]

Another great video. I don’t know how you do all of this Tina while traveling. Video is full of beauty with the fall colors. Loved the ark. We live just outside of Louisville, KY so next spring we will be going to the ark! Keeping up daily with your travels on FB as well and stay safe! ❤

[@marinemom5630]

Love love your videos. Girl love your no filter attitude. I'm the same way. Your family is so awesome. I hate being around alot of people myself. Makes my anxiety go thru the roof. You said in a video that Parker wasn't gonna be doing school during the trip to the home in AK. He's getting the best education out there. You and Joe gave him the experience of the lifetime. What an awesome FIELDTRIP to go on. Seeing all the amazing sights. Parker is gonna have so many memories and stories to tell of all the sights he got to see. God bless you all.

[@jerriepayne830]

22:35 when you guys make it to the homestead you guys should make a spring pole for the dogs it's a great exercise and saves time from you hand helding the toy while they bout to shake your arm off lol

Great idea! Thank you.😊
