What fun! We live on the Kenai Peninsula and find ourselves not fully appreciating where we live at times. How neat to see it through your eyes. Also we have a 4 year old son (named Nolan 😆) that loves to spend the whole day throwing rocks in the water. It’s funny how your view of a “fun day” adjusts when you have kids.
So interesting! Yes, it's always interesting to see others viewpoints of your home area. I would enjoy the same idea someone did a video of our area. Yes, our viewpoints sure do change once we have children!
When Zander sat on his "bigger" rock chair , he had the most accomplished look on his face! He is such a joy, and the best medicine anyone could ask for! Thanks so much for sharing! Looking forward to the rest of your trip! ( he may need a bouncy slide at home!)
The true excitement of that little man brought such a big smile to me. The energy the happiness on his face.... there is no words so beautiful. Y'all as parents are amzazing. Never dought yourselves your doing a fantastic job. Be blessed and stay safe
Your videos always bring tears to my eyes- joyful tears of gratitude and the way you always touch my heart~ you have such a special and beautiful way of sharing your journey~You are gift 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 Thank you sweetheart. God bless you and your lovely family❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for that. Knowing that people find a blessing someway with our videos helps me continue on... in the wee hours of the morning when my computer isn't cooperating or editing is taking longer than usual. So thanks for taking the time to comment!
Such a great attitude for a four old and two layovers. YES, Airbnb are the best way to go. We pray all of you are safe and enjoy everything you get to do. God bless.
We went on a family trip to Alaska about 10 years ago. It was absolutely amazing. A trip we will never forget. We saw bears, went deep sea fishing, saw the glaciers, ate fresh salmon...oh we must go back.
I want to THANK YOU & NOLAND for sharing all your adventures. Mostly for sharing you amazing SON Zander 🙂💕. He has so much charm joy & just the excitement of a child’s dreams.. GOD BLESS from a Grammy Julie West Central IN Farmland ✝️🇺🇸💕🚜
Thanks so much! Sometimes it gets tiring editing every week trying to hit a dead line, but it's contents like yours that makes it worth it. Also, it helps me stay on top of our family videos as I rant these for years to come (: I'm glad you enjoy!
Thanks for the video. My husband and I flew to Alaska, rented a vehicle, and took off. Anywhere we wanted to go, we did. Sight seeing, fishing, tours, parks, ........ Everyone needs to visit this beautiful state. No photos do it justice.
LOVE THIS VIDEO JEANINE!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR AWESOME ALASKA VACATION WITH ME!!!! XANDER IS SIMPLY AN AMAZING BLESSING - HE ALWAYS MAKES ME SMILE & LAUGH!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR NEXT VIDEO!!!!!! SENDING LOVE & PRAYERS 🥰❤️❌⭕️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🗻
I can tell you have a passion for videography. ❤️☺️ How great to have these beautiful and skillfully edited videos to look back on such precious memories.
@@theMennoniteMom Imagine trying to capture the beauty of Alaska if we still only had film cameras! I remember going on trips and thinking 'should I take a picture, or wait til I go somewhere else?" I love your story telling!
Thank you for taking us along on your dream vacation. It is so exciting and heartfelt to see and feel all your excitement and the scenery your experiencing.
What a great AirBnB!!! What a great adventure for your sweet family! I camped on a glacier near Haines for 10 days with my boy scouts in the mid 90s. Would have been nice to go the luxury route...showering once in 10 days was not my cup of tea, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything! So glad y'all got to go!
Xander is so energetic haha, he's having the time of his life. A lot of people think Alaska is just a huge block of ice, thank you for showing how beautiful it actually is! 🙌🙌🙌
Every part of that video bought a smile to my face but, I must say, the best part for me was knowing you were well enough to travel. Honestly don’t think I could have watched you driving to Alaska without crying for you! Such a well deserved family holiday.
I am absolutely loving your Alaskan adventure videos. I lived there for 4 or 5 summers and 2 years straight through. It was amazing. I miss the mountains, clean air and food. I worked at a hotel on Lake Hood. You could sit on the patio of the lounge and have a meal and watch the planes. I loved video number 4 in Homer and your trip to Moose's Tooth. It was one of our favorite restaurants.
You are so lucky-- I have wanted to go to Alaska my whole life.And to be able to enjoy it thru the eyes of a 4 year old ... perfect! Zander always makes me laugh - what a joy he is.
OMG! I felt like I was on the trip to Alaska with you! I absolutely love seeing everything through Xander's eyes. His excitement is contagious! He is so precious, I love how you made this trip so special for him!
Yes, he was either going wide open or sleeping. 🤣 pretty much. I told my friends, the most unrelaxing relaxing you'll ever do is travel with children lol
Love your little boy! I live in Anchorage & just happened across this. Love seeing everything through your eyes. Zander is so FULL of energy! You had an amazing trip!
Zander is JOY!! He loves life. His laugh and giggle and chatter makes my heart sing! Thanks for sharing your family life with us all. ACTUALLY...Thanks for sharing Zander with us!! Hello from Australia!
We vacationed in Alaska and I loved it so much I convinced my husband to move. We lived in Eagle River for 10 years, loving every moment! Thank you for bringing me back down memory lane! Looking forward to more episodes!
Im still catching up on all the UA-cam videos I've missed. I had a heart attack about a month ago and I'm still trying to get back to normal. Amazing video thanks for sharing.
Your skills are amazing! Thank you for taking us along on your life, the time I spend with your family is always rewarding and inspiring. May God continue to bless you and keep you.
Xander was so excited so happy, great to see you guys getting away on a great holiday! Been to Alaska seen the beards and the Salmon run got great videos and photo's was awesome! Enjoy the rest of your trip, Thank you for taking us along with you Jeannine! Hugs and God Bless LIZ X
Alaska is amazing. I lived there for a few years and loved every minute of it. Even the winters. I think God spent a little extra time painting that scenery, to make up for the brutal cold. I hope to go again some day for at least a visit.
Alaska is on my must-see list. Have a friend who took an Alaskan cruise and would do it again in a heart beat. Thanks for sharing this wonderful adventure with us.
I live in Sweden and we also get midnight sun during summer. I have blinds, blackout curtains and a sleep mask to be able to sleep. From your video the nature in Alaska actually looks pretty similar to that of Sweden, interesting to see!
I am so thrilled with this video! I have always been a fan of the beauty of Alaska, even though I've never been. LOL I was just thinking that y'all would be perfect for Alaska and bam it was a discussion! And yes I would love to have a "Mater"! You know what I am talking about! Glad this is a check on y'alls bucket list! Love y'all as always and God bless! Marilyn. Also I bet Zander sleep like a baby after all of his fun!
Wow beautiful scenery the planes the mountains and the excitement That exander has on his face brings me joy he’s such a precious child Alaska is a beautiful place I am so happy for you and Nolan and Xander that y’all were able to experience going to Alaska it is well deserved for all three of you guys you looked really good you look very healthy I love those mountains I can’t wait to see the next week video I love where y’all were staying it was very nice and clean I wonder did Nolan catch any fish salmon your friend Kathy👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Hi Kathy! Thank you, we really did enjoy the trip! Felt so good after the past year we had. Nolan didn't catch anything at our home, but we will catch some salmon in our next video! 😀
That's a gorgeous shot you got of "The sleeping Lady" mountain, at 3:04 !!! I was to Alaska once in tbe winter and have pics from a distance of that mountain 😊 LOVE this vlog. I keep telling my hubby we need to buy a summer place in Alaska and a winter place in Florida 😜😜
my coffeecake muffins just got cool enough to try right as your notification popped up, perfect timing! Im as happy as Xander that he got to join you on this adventure ❤️
😆😆 I actually had quite a few mennonites reach out to us on our trip wanting to meet up. Word gets around. There are a handful of our churches there (:
Thank you so much for sharing. Love your family. Living in Australia I will never get to visit other countries. Very much looking forward to the future videos. Understand the coffee. 😂🥰

Thank you kindly, we have many wealth areas but God is good!
Wonderful vlog … I don’t think I have ever seen a child more proud of a chair or more excited about a bounce house !! Xx
😀 he gets pretty excited about things!
Zander puts a smile on my face. I wish that I had his energy!
The views are amazing! What a blessing to be able to travel to such a beautiful destination.

He has so much energy! I’m tired just watching him! What a glorious trip! Thank you for sharing!
I lived in Alaska for two years as a kid. The float planes and mountains brought back soo many memories. Alaska will always have a bit of your heart.
I'm sure you do! That's neat!
Thank you for taking us along on your dream vacation. It is so exciting and heartfelt to see and feel all your excitement and the scenery your experiencing.
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
What a great video and I love your choice in music! Fishing gives me a craving for fish and chips.

How exciting! Blades for the caribou to cute😂

Oh my what a real alaska adventure! That's a long time without a shower but I'll bet you have stories to trek!
I’m with you about loving the old trucks! I especially love Chevy, I think because that is what my father always drove. Blessings!
Xander is so energetic haha, he's having the time of his life. A lot of people think Alaska is just a huge block of ice, thank you for showing how beautiful it actually is! 🙌🙌🙌
It a block of ice a few days 😀 but yes, it gets quite warm! So beautiful
Every part of that video bought a smile to my face but, I must say, the best part for me was knowing you were well enough to travel. Honestly don’t think I could have watched you driving to Alaska without crying for you! Such a well deserved family holiday.
You are too kind! Yes, I thought of that many times on my trip. So so so thankful I could go and have a normal life with my family. Thanks for caring

P.S. I am so happy you are well enough to fly and vacation with your family. So thankful for your health!!
Delightful video to watch. Thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome holiday for a beautiful family.
Alaska is amazing. I lived there for a few years and loved every minute of it. Even the winters. I think God spent a little extra time painting that scenery, to make up for the brutal cold. I hope to go again some day for at least a visit.
Yes so beautiful! I think the winters would be tough for me
Absolutely wonderful!
That looks like so much fun! We love to travel and our 4 year old makes it exciting as well lol Alaska is definitely on our list!
