Hello friends! Tell me, do you like camping or are you more of a hotel type??

[@anitaworking8033]

Con vistas tan maravillosas y ese clima el CAMPING sin duda.

[@mcg267]

I like “glamping.” 😂

[@mandywhitton]

Camping and fishing xxx

[@cherylmcconnell3167]

I love to camp ( in a travel trailer 😂 ) 😍

[@shemeyncooke7619]

I'm a hotel type I'm afraid of insects 🤣🤣

[@bettyruth9142]

What a nice campground !! Everett will be riding his bike before y’all come home !!! So much fun !! 😀😀

He is getting better on his bike every day! Thanks for watching!

[@staceypiper3319]

You should be apart of the Alaska Tourist Board. The scenery is so awesome and you capture it so well. Thanks for taking us mainlanders along

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That's an idea. Don't know how I would make that happen but I appreciate your encouragement. Much love from Alaska!

Good evening Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞 😊

[@vickiedaversa1521]

hello thanks for taking us along. Im definitely a hotel type lol i always say i need a bathroom better than i have at home, when i go away . i have been to alaska with my two girls. we did a cruise and then rented a car in skagway and drove to the yukon so the girls could go horseback riding. we have plans to return now that they are all married with kids. Seward looks wonderful. My grandson and one on the way will love the adventure. Grandma just has to figure out how stay there. No tent lol but maybe a camper. Thank you again Such a wonderful place to live. When i sailed into alaska for the fist time and saw the views i thought that if you never believed in God, you would have to after seeing the majestic scenery. Nobody else could have created that. sorry so long. stay safe....Vickiee

[@agrimes2009]

Even on a windy and cloudy day, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. ❤️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I agree 100% the clouds make it moody! Thanks for watching and spending time with us!

[@satujarvinen1728]

Hello from Finland! I recently discovered your channel.. I love it. Your family is awesome. Alaska is a bit like Finland.. same kind of climate.. long, dark abd cold winters, short sumners and light summer nights.. four distinctive seasons.. which I like. Thank you for your posts.. I particularly like your all family cooking sessios.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hello!! Wonderful similarities. We sure love it. I love the 4 seasons too! Cooking sessions should start back up as we move into fall and winter!

The controlled chaos with all the kids!!!!! I love when we go camping and can let the kids loose to explore and be kids. Just got back from a week of camping and airplanes in Oshkosh, WI. So nice to be able to tune out the world and enjoy the moment.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much! That is exactly what it is, controlled chaos. There is something so magical about spending so much time outdoors and so little screen time. Glad you had a nice week of camping too!

[@allegra1236]

Loving this video!! Alaska is just beautiful. Thx for sharing your camping trip. I felt swept away for a bit watching. I thought of you while watching another channel from Alaska. They drove to dip net in Kenai Sp? They drove through a sketchy tunnel -one way, that even the train uses. I bet you know it. What I appreciate about you is that you have a great life and you know it. Bravo for embracing the tough stuff and still having family fun. Can’t wait to see more ☺️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Oh my gosh I want to be there right now! so beautiful. I would love to feel cold, enjoying a nice campfire with that view right now. We are full on summer scorcher weather here at the moment. Seward is on our list when we come to Alaska next year. Those rocks you all painted turned out so neat. Amazing camping spot.

When I was younger, I used to camp all the time. Yosemite when we were able to get reservations, then Lake Tahoe, much easier to get reservations, and so beautiful! I would organize and invite all my girlfriends. Inexpensive vacation and so nice to be in nature. Exciting too, as we saw bears often. Now I rent a cabin for our gals quilting and scrapbooking retreats. Love your videos, Joan in Calif.

[@newfee1967]

Took my sister on a real camping trip. No amenities at all. The first thing she said where is the bathroom and I said we 💩💩 in the woods like the bears do.🤣🤣 There are bears? Oh yes.🤣🤣 She made her kids sleep on each side of her in the tent. Had me laughing the whole time 🤣🤗

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That is sooo funny! Real camping in the woods has its challenges. The bathroom being one of them. Done plenty of that too. Thanks for watching!

[@marcellahicks3984]

I am sure glad you were not there for that Landslide, how long did it take to clear that up? It kind of puts it in perspective that Mountains although beautiful, can sometimes be dangerous. Those Mountain Goats were fun to see, does that happen all the time or is it a seasonal thing. I love the RV camping, switch up. Do your Parents usually stay in Seward when in Alaska or do they like other camp sites? That game looked like fun. That would be a fun gift for Christmas. I love the Rock painting. That was a group effort. Can you tell me what kind of paint pens those were? That also would make a great Christmas gift. Can't wait for Part 2. Hopefully Mark will get in a session with Everett with the Bike. He is getting more confident. Its like reeling in the fishing line with his feet. Thanks for taking us along the Aquarium was neato.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

The landslide took over a month to get cleaned up. They were still working on it when we passed. I am sure they are having to assess how to keep it safe in the future. The mom and baby Dall sheep will often be down low in the summer but never the rams. They stay way up in the mountains. My parents camp at several different places but they really love Seward. I will be including the paint pens in a video really soon but here is the link amzn.to/3BQl71a Thank you so much for coming along. We are so grateful!

@@ThisAlaskaLife When we didn't put our bikes or other things away they would be taken away for a while and couldn't be touched. It taught responsibility to take care of your things. Our neighbor had had hooks on the electric pole in the yard and would hang his kids stuff that didn't get put away on the pole. We laugh about it now

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

@@alk3078 just was trying to understand what you were saying, thanks for clarifying! Yes, working hard to help the kids take good care of their bikes and scooters. They naturally want to leave them all over, drives me nuts. We have lots of discussions about putting them away properly. I remember losing things as a kid too, my dad had a gunny sack and things would disappear when we didn’t take care of them.

I’m sure this question has been asked before but I recently found you. Does your husband drive another vehicle or does he travel for work and meets you there? 🙂

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Welcome! So happy to have you here! My husband never joined us on this trip. We actually have 3 cars at the moment. It has always been my dream to have a big van to carry the boys and all their cousins and friends around. Last summer we saved up and were able to buy this bag white van. My husband drives a CRV and I have a mini-van for normal everyday life. But the big van has been so helpful in hauling gear and towing things.
