    Looks like Violet inherited Everett's awesome appetite! 😅 I don't think I've ever seen Everett without his glasses either! I love how your family is always participating in these awesome adventures and how you and Mark are so patient when you explain things to them. Thanks for another great video! ❤

Rifle white tail season starts tomorrow. Bless you and your family. I meant I saw this on another UA-cam channel thought it was fake, not these folks. I've been following them for quite awhile now.

That was a crazy time getting back up the road. I absolutely love Gweenies, so much history to learn from. The portions are huge, definitely got your money's worth. Some Christmas taken care of 🎉 can't wait to see the boys skiing 😊 Much Love and Many Blessings ❤️🙏

    I used to walk the Tony Knowles trail every day after work. In those day's I'd walk from Westchester to where it curve left and up th hill to the airport where you could watch planes come in right over your head. Encounter's with Moose were not uncommon. In my day's those beautiful homes were being built. Very high end.
    We ate at Gwennie's a LOT. Very Alaskan. You've made me homesick LOL.

    As a native Oregonian I have seen these on our coast, mostly on TV or from afar because of the reasons you brought up, except for the bears.
    It's a miracle to experience those types of things. Being able to let your family experience so much by living between the mountains and the ocean or waterways. It's a big reason that I can't move away(permanently).
    You guys have a great day and God bless you all.
