Bert, the little foot tapping you do when you get on a plane, my husband used to do that when he was especially pleased with himself. Always knew when he was up to something. Thanks for provoking a heart felt smile.

[@marshalltille7770]

It’s always the small things isn’t it. Small reasons to smile.

[@Cathy1223]

Lord be with the whole Somers family and community in North Pole, AK! I pray for protection from the fires for the people and firefighters anywhere near the fire and smoke! Father we all need You to pour out Your Spirit on us and our communities! Change us to be more like You!

[@jillr759]

We are all in it again here in California. Though tragic and terrifying it promotes such a turn over in the Forrest for new growth and rejuvenation.

I live in Ruidoso New Mexico. Our whole village/ town was evacuated from a major Forest Fire. By the grace of God my house was saved. I was evacuated 10 days.

[@chucklana161]

The Lord is with you folks. Don’t worry-you’ll be ok. Our prayers are for you (as always)

[@pepitalacoja3870]

God bless the Summers !! 👍You are a beautiful Family. 💕💕 It's good to know that there are still good people on Earth.

[@brenjim32]

Prayers for everyone especially the ones in the path or battling the fires!

[@sharonroxas1631]

Prayer for the Alaska fires and firefighters also. Stay safe.❤

[@dancieteague6854]

Prayers for all those on the line and support teams. I know you going to miss your sister. I loved watching the cousins playing together. They didn't stay long but enough to be missed. Stay safe and safe travels.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Happy Sunday, SOMERS. I hope you’re having a good day. The wildfires are really smoky. I can’t believe that the smoke is looming and spreading out everywhere. Plus, Denali has even bigger wildfire. Much prayers to you SOMERS. I really hope you stay safe during the wildfire smoke situation.🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷🙏🏾🩷

Thank God you’re all home & safe! Prayers sent out to the families that are dealing with these fires all over (less so far here near the Rocky Mountains in Alberta). Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦

[@mama2boys123]

I'm in Indianapolis and we are going down in the 50s tonight. It's glorious! Violet posted the fires too. That's awful! Prayers for safety!

[@brucebrown997]

Here in New Mexico we are dealing with fire and flooding because of the fires. My prayer are for everybody dealing with hardship right now.

[@katieboyle3921]

It’s fun when you include extended family clips. Emily and family will be missed. Nana too.

[@jillr759]

Didn’t know the sisters move to Alaska for temporary?

[@emmib1388]

@@jillr759 I believe they were only planning on going for about a year

[@katherynkennedy5881]

Prayers for those in the line of fire. We have smoke a lot during the summers here, Mesa, AZ. Lot of fires in the hills and mountains here.

[@MsSharleneDee]

Calgary, AB, Canada here - smoke can be horrible here from fires in British Columbia and Alberta fires. So thick going outside is a very risky for asthmatics. Last summer a little boy with asthma in BC died from smoke blowing into their area. Think when a forest fire reaches residences and burns them = chemical smoke. Very very dangerous for anyone with compromised lungs. ❤❤❤ to all of them. VFD Bert - variable frequency drive. Planes have a glide ratio so they can glide a bit. If you still have two wings and no engine the plane can glide a little ways. And the pilots seem quite seasoned up there. ❤ To y'all. Stay safe. You are all protected.

[@terridowns8445]

I just love it when Bert Travels! I learned so much about Alaska because of you Bert, Thank You!

Summers in western Canada always involve forest fires.

[@lauranorton3119]

Loved this vlog. Especially the ending. Extra long hug. As retired military, I remember doing that when unexpected things happened. God Bless you all.

[@deborahrussell5534]

Burt giving the description of the plane and what happened. Thank God they are ok. Burt's description (L o.l) Love your channel guys. Thank you for sharing.

[@lynhanna917]

I flew out of Yellowknife and Hay River with "Buffalo Joe". This guy had many many flights under his belt and I knew that he had experienced everything possible that could happen. I was never worried about flying with him (and his plane was over 50 years old). Give me experienced bush pilots every time. Hope they get the fires under control.

[@trishthedish2790]

Oh Lord please 🙏 protection over the Somer family and everyone else !!

[@Dbusdriver71]

Wow! engine failure? trapped by fires? electrocuted? sounds like your having an 'interesting' weekend! Fires were an issue when I was stationed there. The smoke Jumpers were really busy this time of the year. Thunder storms are an issue but so were campers and tourists that were not very careful. Hope you have a better week!

[@deborahhopper2682]

Praying all stay safe during this time of fires! Thanks for keeping us up on what is going on! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always

[@lindseygallo6175]

My babies are 2 & 3 I just quit corporate America to stay home with them and we are definitely going to look into Abecca because of yall. Your values align with what we want for our kids and think it would be an awesome opportunity. We also have a lot of homeschool communities now in TN so I don’t even question their socialization ❤ I am so excited for these next steps, you guys are a huge inspiration for me and gave me the confidence to do this for my family

[@rebeccabrasier2069]

I love ABEKA curriculum. I taught ABEKA curriculum at a private church run school for 7 years. So comprehensive and sequential. Wouldn't hesitate to teach it again if given the opportunity.

[@emmib1388]

No need to 'worry' or 'be concerned' about social skills. This is a stereotype from those not familiar with home schooling. IMO, most home school children have more social skills than then public school counterparts. Why? Because while the children are in public school, they only contact those in their own grade (that is, if they can look up from their phone) While the Homeschooled children interact with others of all ages through co-ops, volunteering and when they get old enough, part time jobs as well as community groups and church groups (when applicable)

[@jus.me.tanzks5834]

I was taught with that curriculum in a private church school and it was pretty easy to understand. Usually once the girls in the religion reach 17 years old they are invited to teach at different schools across the us kids without college degrees teaching the young ones 😂

[@dorothyball6003]

The toe tapping is much expected. Small towns are different, for sure. Today is July 2……first day of school is looming closer each moment. And Alaska sunshine gets less. And less. Thanks for sharing❤

[@sandrasnowdon4071]

So glad you arrived safely Bert. Jessica you are so inspirational in everything you share. Love your family and have watched since Garrett was a baby. God Bless

[@patfillmore5658]

I have 3 Sisters who use this program in my church. Had books and homeschooling stuff donated. They went through it and and found 3 years of stuff.

[@irishgirlie7431]

Hello to a fellow homeschooling family. This is our 11th year and we love it, wouldn't have it any other way. P.S the fires here in California are getting a head start, but it's early in the year. They get really bad next month.

[@jessicasoriano3560]

I can sympathize with you concerning the fires. Prayers for everyone’s safety especially the hotshot crews, smokejumpers and all the fireman who face it head on.

[@conniepayton2765]

Sending prayers to all. 🙏🏻

[@conniejohnsoncj8724]

The music you choose is always so good Jessica! Siri does a lot of searching for me, but thanks for the new music!

[@serena1261]

Sending you Love and Prayers for all enduring the detestation of the wild fires. God be with you all. ✝️🙏❤️

[@kellywink7336]

Bush planes always scared me so much but the bush pilots are incredibly skilled and honestly, a little nuts lol

[@dustindent7829]

I really enjoy watching Burt travel to these different areas if Alaska. Are you all expecting rain anytime soon? Enjoy Arizona, you all.

[@raymetcalf3928]

[@mariahorsfield76]

Thank the lord you made it home safe to your loving wife and kids ❤❤❤😊😊

[@cbshomebizplane]

Well it gets crazy with fires I remember fires in 77 were really bad 1.3 million acres were burning I was crewing Chinooks running fire crews Ak smoke jumpers even the military soldiers were out fighting fires it was so bad it looked like fog in Fairbanks North Pole area the smoke was so bad even delaying aircraft from taking off on time. I pray you all have a great time in Arizona it is hot hot hot lol. Bert I have had that electrical shock myself had a hot wire cross over on a mobile home wow does that get your heart pumping. God bless you all. 😊

[@robinlipuma7836]

Be safe, and God is watching over you all.. last week we had 5 different fires here in Kingman Arizona

[@bettyruth9142]

Y’all are always so busy !! Thank goodness Burt is fine re: plans flight !! Be safe with all the smoke !! 😀😀

[@kristiphillips7783]

Stay safe!! We got the smoke in Ohio last summer from Canada and it was very thick for a good week if not longer. Was not fun. Praying!

[@robertpowell2746]

Jessica I have been watching you guys for quite a while, I just want to say you are such a beautiful lady with such a beautiful family!❤

[@charlotteanddavestorey6553]

Don’t really get fires here in the U.K. in the summer unless someone deliberately starts one , the one thing i have noticed with the U.K. summers is when we do get heat they seem to be hotter than ever , and it’s gets very humid and sticky here which isn’t pleasant and personally I hate , I can’t wait for the autumn, falll to arrive .

[@ravenlaughs9757]

I can remember fires every summer, soon as the temp hit 70 degress here came the fires snd smoke. Depending on the wind if the smoke comes into town or not. One year there were over 1000 fires burning in the state. I have breathing issues so it was very difficult with the thick smoke to breath. What I found really helped was wintergreen life saver candy, helps open the air way. I look for the biggest bag I can find and they come individually wraped so keep them in my purse and car. 😊 This too will pass and be lost in time. Blessings ❤

[@sharleneknaus3664]

The Lord is with you Bert. Prayers!!!

[@Beastmode10969]

Your family is so awesome. I love all your videos that you guys do and tell you how much family you are to me. You are my long distance parents the parents that I wish I had.

I hate the fire season, it can get so bad, I have had to evacuate a few times. I am in the pacific northwest, so I get it. Take care.

That hug in the end ❤😢

[@towerjunkie19]

God had his hands on that plane Bert. If I was on that plane and the pilot said what he said to you, I would have said in a very shaky voice “please let me out”. I don’t like to fly so I’m thankful that when I worked I didn’t have a job where I had to fly alot. And I’ll be praying for you Ak. folks about those fires. Be safe Somers

[@marilynfdavis891]

I hope the firefighters can keep ahead of all the fires!! Was anyone really electrocuted or just shocked? Another project completed for everyone. 💜

I worked at TVC in medical records in 2004. We were in the basement, and I remember in our hallways there was an orange haze. That's how bad 2004 was.

[@shelagh7850]

I'm at McKinley Princess and we have the Riley Fire affecting our sister property at Denali. We've got to adjust guests starting tomorrow morning.

[@minniemia5427]

I live in Idaho and people say the same thing about fires here. The fire were not this bad . The forest rangers are starting the fire to clear the undergrowth. It is hard to control the larger ones get out of hand. When it is lighting it is God clearing the overgrowth and bringing new life. Fire are dangerous but also very good!

[@manfredbismark6688]

Hello Somers family. Thumb up nature! Nature is beautiful animals and plants. Have a beautiful day and a good summer to all in the USA - Alaska and world. . Bye. Rudi from Slovenija - Europe. PS: and if you wave to a birt, the bird will wave to you! Rudi.

[@lynnbrown4219]

Yes when i went out this morning i too noticed that we must have had a fire last night as the fars and ground is full of the black ash laying all over.

[@ServiceDogRosie]

Abeka books were used in my elementary school, middle and high in the Christian school i went to till 6th grade i went 2nd through 6th, i unfortunately had to go to public school due to adhd and being mildly autistic so they booted me out in 6th grade.. loved the curriculum and believe its the only consistent accurate Christian curriculum out there

[@katrinalongley]

I'm in Washington and I don't remember there being smoke growing up either. Now it happens every single year, "wildfire season". I'm going to make sure we get an air purifier soon.

[@lindapearson8137]

Lightening struck our ranch today burning 30 acres! It burned some hay, my grandson had just cut, burned some fencing but didn’t take the new fencing from the last fire! PTL ! We need to keep our country in prayer!

Here in Prescott, Arizona we had our 11th Memorial Celebration today the 30th of June where heaven claimed 19 hero's with the Granite Mountain Hotshots. Also praying that the residents of Alaska do not fly drones so the air tankers and helicopters can do their jobs efficiently. God Bless!
