I stayed in Denali for 2 days, took the bus through the park and also did rafting, I had a blast. After I returned to Colorado I moved to Alaska

[@ChumStun]

Love seeing the cousins holding hands and running together! I was with my cousins almost every day as a kid, it’s a really special bond and definitely the more the merrier! As for their mommas, the Jessica’s used to come across as thick as thieves in old videos but now we never even see them say hello to one another. Hope everything’s okay.

[@ellenbacigalupi3767]

Stinking great!😅

[@sorij3560]

Water rafting is such a blast! There’s no way I could still pull myself into the boat now that I’m in my 40’s😂 Good job Jessica!

Doesn’t matter who wins it is just plain fun.

[@sjbutler2330]

I am vicariously living through you guys! How fun rafting looks. Lucky you! 😀

[@mrschi9705]

Ohhhhh I love you guys! Always so happy! I would LOVE to join yall in one of these midnight sun runs one day! I am putting it on my bucket list!! This year I hope to accomplish a half marathon. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend guys!!!

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Happy Saturday SOMERS. I hope you’re having a good day. Summer continues on, and I hope you SOMERS continue on staying safe during the wildfire situation. As a former Fairbanks, Alaska resident, I dealt with wildfire before when I was a kid. And now, I’m in South Carolina now. I saw the news on Alaska news. Plus, I’m glad you SOMERS are having a blast water rafting and enjoying the midnight sun run. I hope you SOMERS have a good summer. Continue on your road on getting the gold play button.🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

Way to go Jessica on getting yourself back in the boat

[@nataliegraham9552]

Seeing all of you rafting brought back so many great memories. Back in the mists of time, when I lived in Montana, I took a rafting/kayaking glamping trip down the Salmon River in Idaho, as well as many rafting and whitewater kayaking outings on the Stillwater River in Montana. SO MUCH FUN!! I'd sit at the front of the raft or just behind the lead paddlers since I LOVED reaching and digging hard into the big waves and troughs of class 3+ sections. I was laughing as I started yelling at my little phone screen - DIG! DIG! 😂 Your raft guide was fun to see and I love that he gave you the tour of the beauty of the river besides the paddling parts. ❤ Loved seeing everyone enjoying the beauty of nature and the midnight sun.

[@Cathy1223]

Becky from The Hillbilly Kitchen was in Alaska…I saw them in North Pole!

[@irvingjohnson9244]

That's cool!

[@kellyfruin4418]

[@stephenjstevenson2371]

Glad to see that you are all together out enjoying yourselves, That's what summer is all about, having fun. Keep up the good work. God Bless

[@marinarapley1757]

Did white water rafting in Canada with my husband and two teenage kids was so much fun I was terrified but loved it 😂

[@philipmiller2618]

I did this river rafting in Denali back in the 1980s. Loved it. Saw some big horn sheep up on the side of the mountain. Want to go back.

[@colleenrodamer9497]

Here in North Texas I just garden for my summer solstice and pray that it doesn’t get over 100+ degrees thanks for sharing your life with us. Many blessings from North Texas.

[@annetteharvey4299]

I'm in Northlake.

[@ChewChat-qx9rq]

That water looks amazing! It’s 100 degrees in Texas today.

Not me waiting for your video because I know I'm in the background of one of the recordings... but that shot didn't make the edit.

[@user-zq7gl9tx3y]

Awesome !.Looks like you all had a great time ! I celebrated the longest day w extra yardwork lol

[@lenalyles2712]

Absolutely loved white water rafting, age and injuries have caught up with me so now I stick to the pool.

[@ruthhine5610]

We don't bother with the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere as it's practically Christmas by then so all systems go for that.

[@michaelstreker9257]

In central Florida I don't do to much. Everything has to be done in the early morning of late evening. In the winter months we take nature walks, fishing, biking and 🏊. Stay cool happy people😎

[@shannonhawkins260]

Y r y’all’s videos so short? I love your channel, just wish the videos were longer

[@ED-ti5tc]

Y'all got it going on up in Alaska! I think it was 9:30 completely dark here in NC on our longest day.

[@Yahooice]

Happy Saturday Somers from Norway! 🇳🇴🇳🇴

[@Beastmode10969]

You guys are an awesome family. I love all your videos and everything you do especially the random act of kindness during Vadis even going to buy groceries and just giving them away love it. Your heart is golden.

[@lynnmartinez6122]

White water rafting is such a rush!! Love it! Never rafted in Alaska though.... its on the bucket list!! Also I try to do a 5k (charity walk/runs) every 4 to 6 weeks. Love doing those as well. Glad to see your whole family out and about spending quality time together, having Fun but more importantly..... making memories!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@jeannine1739]

In my 20s I spent 3 summers working at the hotel in the park as housekeeping staff. It was a great time! :)

[@judyoger]

The front of the boat is "the Bucket". If you enjoy clean humor look up Jeanie Robertson "The Rafting Trip" uncut. I promise you will enjoy her and she has many uploads on YT. Looks like fun. Emily you wore the wrong kind of shoes. Go Garrett, Audrey and Evelyn, spirits up.

[@irvingjohnson9244]

Jeanie is so funny, I thought of her story, too!

A lot of fun in one video. My favorite video by far. Also it's nice to see the kids so the close out. I missed that. 💜

[@robertascholten8173]

Well done, Somers Fam!! What do we do for the solstice?? Stay INSIDE cuz it's hotter than hades, bein' in Texas, and all..... You have WATER - such a LUXURY we don't have in far southwest Texas, but we do have a LOT of desert...

[@77Kbaum]

I have never went river rafting before, so I was wondering how you stay seated even when you go through a ‘rapid’ spot? Looks so fun! 🚣

[@YVRCasting]

Now's a great time to train yourself out of a 'fear of water' ... especially when you're around children.. they don't need that negative example. They're going to miss out on a lot of future fun

[@gowest5145]

I have free hot springs that I go to and there is a stream you can go in too if you want to cool off. So nice that they are free!! I use to live in Florida and I went to the cold springs there all summer long. They stay 72 degrees year around. My town also has flea markets every Saturday and I go to them every Saturday. Today I bought a set of antlers!! So excited to have them and put them up. I love to go into the mountains to look at wildlife, go hiking, go wading in the streams, go on the ATV.

[@cbshomebizplane]

I wish I was up there but doing other things right now not as fun as running the midnight sun or the white water rafting.

[@jmarkley767]

Hi Somers and Family!! I have taken my Youth Group teens White Water Rafting it wasn’t as rough 🌊 as what you had but we have some much Fun!!

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I celebrated the summer solstice this year by installing a blackout blind and being able to sleep through the night without being wakened early by dawn arriving at around 4 a.m..

La cara del señor GUZMÁN haciendo rafting no TENÍA PRECIO, estaba tan blanco como una hoja de papel😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 y aquí en SALAMANCA, ESPAÑA celebramos la noche de San Juan con hogueras gigantes y una gran fiesta en los pueblos ❤

[@evelynsweeney7381]

That rafting trip looked awesome. I did that many decades ago in Maine with our church high school group. I remember it well.

[@margaretturner3251]

Hello i enjoy the race midninght run and when yall when waterally in the water your wife got in the boat by herself and won between you and her she is a nice good fast beast lady.The babies are growing fast take care all.They just had marothan here for different cause but they need a midnight run.❤😊🙏🙏👍❤🎉🎉

[@gowest5145]

I've only gone white water rafting one time and I absolutely loved it. It can be dangerous so be careful.

[@Dbusdriver71]

Hopefully the wildfires won't be a factor in your vacation. They really were a chancy business. Rafting looks really fun, a lot of guys l served with liked this. I Preferred Fishing, The festival in downtown Fairbanks looks really good to. Hope you have a wonderful Trip!

[@jillwalls9330]

Summer solstice isn’t a big deal at all down here in the lower 48. Looks like you had a great time rafting. So fun. 😊

[@deepfrieddeals]

I’ve never done anything for the Summer solstice. In the South, every day feels like never-ending Sun. We celebrate the Winter solstice lol.

[@halverde6373]

As an old sourdough and watching your nice family over the years on YT, I must be frank and honest. You have yet to be able to compare a blessing and a curse. Be patient and you will.

[@deborahhopper2682]

Enjoyed watching this the white rafting and the midnight run. Love y’all! Love and Prayers Always

[@charlotteanddavestorey6553]

We named our dog Denali after my love of Alaska, for now my dream remains, one day hopefully before I’m 50 in three years we will visit Alaska . Don’t quite get 24 hrs of daylight here in the U.K. , currently it’s dark for around 10:30pm and light around 4am .

[@Prairie7777]

What do I do in the summer??? I sit and sweat~~~ I live in Arizona. I know you know what that's like. Yeah...... for sure......I'm moving back up to Alaske! I really can do 20 to 50 sub zero. I've lived in Alaskaq before. But the heat here??? Not so much!!!!!

[@Prairie7777]

What a bunch of precious people. Alaskans are wonderful people. I'm coming back up and I can't wait to get there. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO ON YOUR SITE!!!! VERY APPRECIATED

Is Jessica’s sister still moving out of AK? That looked fun! What’s the oldest age range for the Midnight Sun Run? Hooray a Floridian doing the run.

[@belieftransformation]

Great family adventures; thanks for sharing! This is the only way I’ll experience white water rafting (I’m with Emily, on the fear of big bodies of water!). I’m in my 7th decade so the run is not in my future but it was great getting the highlights. Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦

We were in Barrow for the solstice. The sun was constantly in the sky in the 3 o’clock position all day and all night! It was super hard to sleep! Really loved the people of Barrow though. Wonderful people!

[@mrsleejinki2973]

Don't do anything for the summer solstice because the small town in KS I live in is just to hot. It already reached 110 degrees today. I also live in the middle of nowhere. Looked fun but wouldn't catch me white water rafting because I have a fear of open water and a fear of drowning. Here in Kansas we don't have a midnight sun unfortunately.

[@kathyb9939]

Not in Arizona at 112.cant even hike..😂it's pool and margaritas.

[@stevenlageson1868]

Great video. Love the rafting. Can’t believe you got into the water and back out by yourself. We bus toured Denali, one of our favorite parts of AK vacation.

[@bflogal18]

The heat index in Maryland was 110 degrees on the solstice, so we actually just stayed hydrated in the AC. Summer here has become a rather miserable experience for me. I’m definitely a cold weather lady.
