Someone has a real talent for painting! So nice you all get together…family is everything🦋
@@FrankLange-wz5bd sorry, I don’t correspond with internet people
I’m an oddball… I’m a cold weather type, I prefer cold dampness to hot humidity, I prefer snow and rain to hot weather, I love temperate rainforests, my absolute dream is to live southwest Alaska. Watching your videos fills me with joy and causes me to dream about Alaska! Love your videos and your insight as an Alaskan resident, very helpful to know and understand more about the Last Frontier state!
I've watched a few other shows about life in Alaska.
For me, your channel is the Best! Thank you 🤗🙂
A lot of families don't get on so well, it was lovely to see the familty together,especially grand parents a life time of memories for all the cousins. thanks Lauren
Your life is to much, it's a dream life, Ur So blessed, I wOrk for Father, trying to help victims of childhood abuse... Like what's a holiday???? Bless you for sharing, ... 💖💖💖
good plug for Costco Lauren...lol......keep that up & ya might just get the next vacation free
Syrup on french toast, butter on pancakes, peanut butter on waffles!!
Can't get over the beautiful scenery. Feel envious,
Here in the uk, our weather kind of mirrors yours, we are not following the extreme heat waves hitting lots of parts of the world, prayers and thoughts to them. But sometimes I understand you just need to feel sun on your face.
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Frank Lange from Brooklyn New York, where are you from if I may ask?
We grew up putting butter and white sugar on our French Toast.
I enjoyed EVERY moment of this holiday with you!!! Thank you for taking us with you!!! 🙏🏻💖
You are so welcome!
We get between 55-85 inches of rain in the amoky mountains of NC/TN.
Yeah- it’s a rainforest.
Loved your video and meals and crafts. Your parents are sweet to be so involved and come hang out and do so much. You’re blessed to have them. Keep making those memories!
We have a worse problem with campsites also. Not enough and you need to book a year or more in advance . It’s a zoo!
They won’t let you bring your own firewood to campgrounds in the smoky mountains. You have to purchase wood with a tag in it and it’s like $10 for 5-6 pieces.
“The double chicken” I like it!
The kids did amazing on those rocks ! They are all very artistic !
Lauren I just think you are the Best. I am so happy to call you my Friend. I really needed to see the sunshine in the rain. You are so blessed. Thanks again
Same ❤
I'm blown away at how creative and amazing pictures they are making. Wow. I'd love to have all of them in my garden. What a fun idea. Thanks this will be great. Your adorable little Everett reminds me of my little adorable grandson.
If its any consolation it's rainy and drizzly, with sparse sun in the UK too.
I love visiting the Sealife Center whenever we're in Seward. We usually stop to eat at Ray's Waterfront or the Chinese restaurant not far from the Sealife Center.
My husband really enjoyed watching your camping in the RV !! Always enjoy watching your adventures!! You know how to keep the kiddos busy in the rain !! Loved the painted rocks and the bracelets!! ❤️❤️
I recently went to Atlanta. Visited the Georgia Aquarium. There was an exhibition of an Alaskan tide pool and it had an octopus in it.
You visited my city. If you should come again, make plans to visit the Chattanooga, Tennessee aquarium. I like it much better than Atlanta's. Chattanooga is on the GA/TN border and is about 120 miles away. Well worth the visit. And you must plan to see the Coca Cola museum in Atlanta on your next trip. They have cola for you to try from around the world!

Good job making the best of the rain and fog! Still made lots of new family memories! Well done!
I absolutely LOVE all your videos. I've been fascinated by all things Alaska. Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you. 😊
Another treat similar to the banana boats are using waffle cones and then filling them with marshmallows, chocolate and with or without fruit. You wrap them in foil and put on the fire to melt all of the goodness. So yummy!
Love how you make the best of crummy weather! Love that everyone embraced it and did lots of crafts:)
you have some great talented artists for the rock paintings. i love watching you. i am so addicted to your journeys
I wish I could send you some of the heat we have in NJ
oh my I Leventhal store tonthose blue bowls good lord beautiful
Maple syrup and butter on French toast. Yum.
I have fond memories when our family went camping every summer and your boys will always remember the great times they had camping with family in Alaska!!🤩
Regardless of the weather family time is full of memories 😊. Such a beautiful place.
The Two Lakes Hike was glorious. I just think the rain added to its beauty. I loved seeing Everett in the Stick Fort. Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed seeing a good ol camping trip. Might have to make a Banana Boat.
Awesomeness!!!!!!!!!! What An Awesome Human Being You Are. God Bless❤️🦋🧸🌺🌈
The seas life museum looks very cool. I am so amazed at the life cycle of salmon.
Seeing Hunter and your brother next to each other really shows how much he favors your family looks wise. The camping trip looked really cozy 😊 thinking about buying a small motor home for me and my husband when we get older
I loved this.. My sedentary life would love your adventures. My family does nothing together..The grandparents are so lucky, my grandchildren are so spoiled, they could care less about adventures with their grandparents..
This just made me so sad to hear. My kids' best memories have been created camping, travelling, and staying with their grandparents. Hope these videos bring you joy. ❤
I taught my son how to make our traditional French toast with One egg per slice and one for the bowl, a splash of milk, Vanilla and cinnamon. Butter in the pan. I like my French toast cooked but with a soft middle. Heavenly.
Hello!' Your days out at the camp ground seemed great for you all!"Even though it rained everyday. You hiked, skate boared.Played bored games. Ate great food.And just kept busy.Im glad you took us all on your adventure. Until your next video.Take care!" Stay Safe.😊

Thank you for sharing. I love your attitude about the weather. Some people would fuss and whine about it. You set a good example for your kids. The waterfall park was absolutely beautiful! I am definitely going to make banana boats, yummy.
My family loves to camp in our camper too. My husband always takes along our crockpot, and he makes pulled pork for sandwiches. So easy to throw it in the pot in the morning, and have a nice meal in the evening. One of our daughters loves to make big breakfasts like you all had. Eating well is one of the best parts of camping! 😁
Love all the rock painting ❤
Your videos are amazing, I learn so much just from watching them.
Good Morning Hamm Family ❤️
79°F and cloudy with little peek-a-boos from the sun ⛅
I love your Seward videos, so beautiful and fun, whether it's sunny, rainy, foggy or snowy. It's always a good time. Your RV video was great and very informative 🙂
So fun to see talented kids enjoying crafts together. My friends and I did rock art when we were younger. We also painted shells or flat pieces of wood/bark. Kept some, gifted some and the rest were placed in random spots to be found. We did floss art and friendship bracelets too. Most of my floss work these days includes cross-stitch or making tzitzits: ritual fringes or tassels worn by observant Torah followers. The numerical value, knots and strings symbolize the 613 commandments in the Torah 😊
Glad to hear Hunter is spending time with the men he loves doing something he loves... great memories. Nice catch gentleman. It's great that there's a place to breakdown and freeze your catch so it stays fresh for the ride home 🎣
Mmmm... bread in dipping oil. I make my own concoctions, and I also use recipes included in an oil dipping kit that I like: Gourmet Oil Dipping Kit created by Julie Pederson, found at Uncommon Goods online... a little pricey, but delicious 🤤
Camping is an open invitation to chill, relax, explore and find peace 🏕️
The Alaska Sealife Center looks like so much fun... I'd love to visit. I love seeing and learning about the flora and fauna around me. Touch tanks are cool... getting up close with creatures you may never otherwise see nor touch. Everett's age and curious mind are touching 🦦
Rainy Days that include board and card games, arts and crafts, movies, reading a book or taking a nap are never wasted 📚
It's amazing what you can find while hiking, whether the trail is new or old, you'll always find something new to enjoy, learn from, be awed by, etc. The sights and sounds of forests and waterways are never dull. You need to get yourself a truffle hunting dog so you can go in search of the pricey fungi. Did you know that skunk cabbage roots were used by indigenous people for medicinal purposes? Used for respiratory issues, fungal treatment, coughs, headaches, pain or topical bleeding. They typically boiled or roasted it which breaks down the compounds that make it toxic. It can cause nausea, vomiting, painful swelling or burning of mouth and tongue. Use at your own risk, but make sure you boil the root several times in different batches of clean water ☣️
So glad you and Mark take time to check in on each other when apart. When my Mark is away on an excursion without cell service, he always tries to make a trip into the nearest town at least once during his trip just to make sure all is well 😍
My Uncle Mike (RIP) used to craft walking sticks: carve, twist, stain, etc. I have one of his creations. I also inherited the walking stick a Marine friend of my Dad's made for him, complete with an Eagle head topper. Clean that stick up Everett and make your own 🦅
Travel traditions, like your ice cream tradition, are so fun. We like to visit different local shops for goodies wherever we go. In Oklahoma we always stop at Braums for a burger, fries and ice cream 🍨
Final day leftover smorgasbords are the best. We have 2 or 3 group meals during Sukkot. On the last night, the meal organizers put out all the leftovers from group meals and everyone else adds in their leftovers or unused food and drinks. Every year it's both different and full of fan favorites 🍲
Everett will forevermore be hailed as the Double Chickenator King 👑
Your kids are so awesome and talented. They make me yearn for my days of skateboarding and bike riding 🚴🏼♀️
Next time someone ask if I'm awake or able to move, I'm going to say "yes, but my feet are unconscious" 😏
Rain or Shine, great memories are made and adventures are had 🧭
I'm going to have to look into getting that mini smoothie blender. It'd make for easier trip packing, instead of bringing my full-size Ninja 🥤
Hi Miss Luna. I've missed you beautiful... so has Ash. I believe he's a bit smitten. He jumped up on the cabinet under the TV to say hello 😻
Can't wait to watch your next video. It's been a game of catch-up lately. Enjoy your day. Yah's Blessings 🤗

All of the video I want you to do a segment of how you make those bracelets that would be awesome
Kudos to Alaskan residents ❤
We go to seward a few times a year. We love it and we always find your painted rocks. When my grandson is here we actually go on a rock hunt to find your painted rocks. We love that you do that. Its such a good idea we started to do it everywhere we camp.. so Thanks

I had a great time on your Alaskan camping trip...lOl!
Your daily activities were great, the food looked delicious for camping, and the family time was enjoyed by all!!
I hope you have recovered from whatever it was that had you down last week, Lauren, and hopefully the sun has appeared for you for at least a couple of days!!!
👍👍

That was a great adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
So glad you had a great trip despite the weather. Your positive attitude about the conditions is lovely. I enjoy watching your videos and your adventures, but am glad to have learned that I don't ever want to go there. I'm allergic to rain and especially the cold; having no sun would be so depressing for me. On your trip I would have been beyond miserable. Though I grew up in Pacific Northwest , western Washington state, I left 47 years ago because of the constant rain and settled in South Texas, where rain is a lovely treat.
I just have to say how wonderful it was to see the Cherished Teddies figurines. I used to gift them to my Grandma, she loved them so much! Just seeing this made my heart so happy, I didn't realize they could still be purchased!
❤️🐻❤
GREAT WORK ON PAINTING THOSE ROCKS EVERYBODY‼️Bracelet activity looked fun‼️ I love how you take hikes rain or shine‼️ The waterfall was beautiful‼️I would say you had a GREAT time in spite of the rain😊👍‼️

We having the same weather here in the uk
I heard that friends in Manchester and Wales asking "What summer,?" I think it's been hotter and clear blue sky's here in Melbourne Australia mid winter than in Alaska and UK.
I love Seward!! So beautiful! My brother lives in Anchorage and he took me there when we visited. 😍
Thankyou for sharing your beau country and family with us

Good morning Lauren !!! Might have been a rainy camp trip , but much more time with family and cousins !! Renting the motor home was a great place to hang out and more comfortable for everyone I’m sure ! Thank you for sharing .. blessings to you all!!
Hi Lauren!!Love your getaway vacation videos!And the rock paintings,i mean you guys paint amazing!! kisses from hot hot Greece,where the temperature is 40°c....i wish we had rain....!!❤❤❤❤❤
I love rainy, overcast days, but, of course, not when camping. This was a fun video watching the family have such a great time together. I would have been with the kiddos watching Tom & Jerry. Haven't seen that in a number of years.
And sweet little Everett is so cute. Love that you can't tell time with extended daylight. And loved seeing Ms. Luna!

This is how I know it's been a year with you and your family. I remember this from last year!! It is really cool, we have the Vancouver aquarium here, it's also mind blowing seeing everything our coast has to offer
love both of the videos
The hike was so pretty
Sleepy Everett is so cute, what a lovely family holiday😊
This video has been so enjoyable 😊. I’m so sorry it was so rainy there. But y’all sure did make the best of it. ❤. I hope y’all have caught up on some much needed rest. God bless!! ❤

you are such a great mom.
Peanut butter and syrup. And sometimes I like just Jelly or jam. 😻
Love Seward and Resurrection bay, epic place, been here, done that 🙃
Great video! Thanks for sharing your week motor home "camping". Seward is a pretty amazing place!
Great family memories! The salmon looks great. I buy salmon once or twice a month but fishing or not fishing is done here for other fish. We have season for mackerel (atulai), (ee) small fish and manahak is a tiny fish we fry up or pickle. Then we have ocean fishing for tuna and marlin..delicious. it was so nice to see you and your family enjoying camping. Thanks for sharing. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴❤🌴
Sorry meant to say net fishing.
What fun with family❤
We called French toast eggy bread in our house, we eat it with tomato sauce or as you would call it ketchup
I just rewatched this, and wow what a gorgeous find. Imagine all those years going there and coming across a paradise.
Oh my gosh painting in those rags are so awesome and I can't believe like how good the kids are at dropping that is so awesome.. love the camper by the way
❤Wow you all sure ate well. Loved your rock painting. What type of paint pens did you use? Waterproof? Thank you for sharing your adventures...you were brave to do the rental clean up etc.
good day to you and your lovely family

I eat ketchup with my French toast. Plus u got to hike the beautiful new place.
Another great video. I have two thoughts: Hunter could make a fortune selling his painted rocks, and who is on the swings at 35:53?
I looked back at the swing. Everett had been swinging on it, had jumped off, and was now out of frame. Did look a bit creepy!
Looks like you had a great week despite the inclement weather. Gyros are the best. I recently marinated and slow cooked some lamb for gyros for a birthday party! Delicious!
What a beautiful place...thanks for sharing ❤

Tried Costco Gyros for the first time you were right they are yummy. What took me so long?
Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us
We also bought it at Costco based on Lauren's recommendation, it is fantastic l agree.
Family time is the best no matter the weather. Enjoy✌️🇺🇸❤️
Seward is beautiful even in the rain. The trail and waterfall was gorgeous.

All I can think of is, "This is Alaska, this is why you're here!" Lol
Will we ever see a dad’s box?😂 Is there a crab shortage there? Does Sewards Largest Gift store have a name? Glad you made it home safely. Would you say inland in the wooded areas your odds are better for drier weather in the summer. Thanks for sharing.

I'm there with you with the videos
Great family get away and relaxing time
What awesome videos you put out. I love them very much. I really would love to live in Alaska. Keep up the great work 👍 👏. P.S. You are so very pretty 😊
Thank you for taking us along on your camping trip. Seward was very beautiful in spite of the rain. I hope you kept some of the painted rocks to place around your house. Hopefully some of your family put their names and date on them to remenber your trip.
We love you all to ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the trip it was fun, God bless you all
Good morning Lauren
I'm a new viewer and I love watching your videos God bless u and your family
Banana boats? Sound yummy. How do you make them?
Love both videos. again thank you for inviting us to see the adventures ,you all doing great and enjoy every minute.greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤❤❤❤

Great video! Thanks for sharing!😎
That was fun!! Thank you for taking us along!! I don't know Lauren...you said this won't make you run out and buy one but maybe think about it. You and your family love to camp and when not in use, you can always rent it out as part of the air B&B! Not for people to stay on your property but to take out. Maybe just enough to help pay for it! Really as an investment that will be 100% families at the end. So much you could provide too that the rental companies don't also to personalize it a little. Just a thought😉. With all your travel videos I just think you have a REALLY good head for this type of thing. The planning is always the hardest but once a system falls into place it is not so much "work" anymore.
So lucky to have a Costco,
Really enjoy your channel. Keep it up! Thx Jan
Enjoyed your camping trip with your family and see the fun you all have together. Thank you

Do you have a camping meal video? We are going in a couple weeks for 8 days and there is no stores near by. We only have a cooler and propane stove.
We are not new to camping but just looking for some new ideas!

Glad you had a good time. Was in the Ressurection Bay City campgrond in June 2023. It's a dump'. Lots of homeless in old campers around. AVOID
Looks like everyone had a great time
Fun video !! Too bad about all of the rain, but as always, you guys make it work !! And the boys have grown so much !! Very nice art work and cute bracelets !! ❤
Sorry to hear that you haven't had much of a summer. I wish I could trade places with you as it's been well over 100 + degrees here in Southwest Florida. I close my eyes and pretend I'm in Alaska. Your parents have the right idea.
