    Good Afternoon Hamm Family ❤️

    It's a sunny 86°F here today. A hot, yet beautiful change from the thunderstorms we've been having. My brother-in-love's (Jon) cabin, about a mile away, lost power for a couple hours when lightening hit the transformer just before our electric compnies transformers start: two different providers ⚡

    I'll trade your cold, windy days for our "need to find Noah's blueprints" deluges and "hotter than the Sahara" temperatures of late. I'm either going to drown or melt 🫠

    Kite flying is so much fun. Haven't done it in years. I had a dragon, an octopus, a box and the standard diamond kites. My Mark would like the plane kite 🪁

    Yummy salmon. I made Blackened Cod last night. What I wouldn't do for some fresh fish… it hits different. I learned something knew. Never knew young King Salmon were referred to as a Jack. I always pay close attention when Mark dresses a fish. I'm used to mostly freshwater fish, like Largemouth Bass, but it's been awhile. Used to fish with my Dad on the lake. I could bait, catch, dress and cook what I caught. Mark is refreshing my memory. That is a beautiful filet of salmon, btw. Do you ever eat the head and/or cheeks? It looked like the cheeks had been removed. I love that y'all feed the carcasses to the Eagles. Eagle-cam rocks 🦅

    New fear unlocked… dive-bombing kites. Watch out Dad 😯

    The sun peeking through the clouds makes everything look serene 🌥️

    Mmmm… sausages… perfect for Bangers and Mash 😋

    Love the flowers 🪻

    Awesome to see the stocking of salmon young into the waterways. I've seen bass stocking 🐟

    Pretty sea glass. I need to get me some to craft with 🖼️

    I haven't seen too many sea otters in the wild, but they are cute. We had some very mischievous river/lake otters that hung out in the lake. One scared the bejesus out of me and my sister. He brushed up against us under the water and we both thought we where going to be an alligator's lunch before he pop his playful head up out of the water. Silly little bugger hung around for a good 15 minutes or so before swimming off 🦦

    Love seeing the boys fishing with their Dad, one on one and as a group. Makes me remember those special times with my Dad. Plus, the lessons learned: "Feed a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime" – women too. So happy you got the boys on camera. Good memories 🎣

    Okay, what did you pour over the salmon?? Ask Grandma. I need to know 🧐

    I'm glad Everett enjoyed his mussels 🦪

    I have to admit, I've never purposely eaten rhubarb. I ate a Strawberry pie once that I later found out had rhubarb in it, but all tasted was strawberry. Rhubarb looks like celery. Is it bitter before being cooked with sugar? The cobbler and griddle pies look delicious. I'll have to try both and get some griddle irons. Some of my favorite memories around food are: Sunday breakfast feasts at my Memaw's (Mom's Mom) and eating watermelon and homemade ice cream at Grandma's (Dad's Mom), both while visiting in Georgia; Sunday pot roast at home with my folks and sisters growing up; cast iron chili, s'mores and popcorn made in and around the campfire during our annual fall reunions. Great memories 🥰

    10pm and daylight… my brain is confused 😯

    No salmon shall be wasted. I'm surprised the speargun doesn't do more damage 🐠

    What a beautiful day for an adventure: boating, exploring the beach and the water. Do y'all ever eat the seaweed/vegetation? What type? How? My friends and I used to hunt for sand dollars (shark teeth and shells) at St Augustine and Fernandina Beaches and Talbot Island in Florida. So much fun. We released the live ones, but the bleached white ones were collected, most 3 to 4 inches in diameter. There was a man who made/sold art, jewlery, trinkets and such who would sometimes buy what we collected. Good memories and fun 🐚

    Rain or shine, wonderful memories are made. Exploring the tide pool is so much fun to do as a family. Lots of cool finds and critters 🐙

    Great artwork guys. Love the kitty. Is that Miss Luna or Miss Rose 😺

    What a beautiful… sunset, sunrise… I don't know, but the sun finds Alaska so beautiful that saying goodbye is not an option 😶‍🌫️

    Thanks for sharing your meals. I haven't made biscuit donuts since Bry was small. I'll have to now. That teriyaki salmon is making my mouth water 🤤

    All I heard when Mark suggested Everett put on shoes was: "if you're not barefoot, then you're overdressed" 👣

    What game was Grandma playing? Not pictionary… before that 🃏

    Banana boats are great: peanut butter and jam, s'mores-esque, Reese's, with a honey drizzle, etc. Mmmm 🍌

    I love that you think of work, and with that, your followers, while enjoying family time, but I love it even more when your main focus is family time. We can wait 🤗

    Question: what ever happened to the boat? I remember y'all were having issues with it last time. I don't remember seeing it this time 🛥️

    Thank you for another great video, and congratulations on hitting 40K. Awesome 👏

    Take care. Yah's Blessings ❤️

    Hi! Maybe a good question for a q & a but I'm just wondering, why is it that Mark flies to the cabin and you drive until you get to the boat? Maybe because of transporting supplies? Thanks so much for sharing this, looks like such a gorgeous peaceful place ❤

    Hi Lauren just watched your cabin video and wondered how you made the rhubarb cobbler. Did you follow the package cooking instructions for the muffin mix to add to the top? It looked so yummy. 😊

    Such a great trip! Lots of lovely family fun together and whilst the weather wasn’t as warm and sunny as you’d hoped, still a lovely time away.😊

    Love the cabin and the eagle footage was great! Glad you had a wonderful time! I saw the ginger tea at Costco and almost bought it because of what you said in an earlier video but I wish they would sample it. Maybe if they mark it down I will get it. I have to skip the footage when you hunt octopus because they are so smart and it’s hard for me to watch them be captured and killed. I don’t like to watch anything be killed, though, I am not vegetarian and I don’t mean this as a criticism. I just wanted to ask if it’s not too difficult, maybe you could put a jump forward time stamp in videos that contain this kind of thing so I don’t miss any other parts? No biggie if it’s a lot of trouble, I just kind of guess where to rejoin.

    I always enjoy your videos, especially the ones in which you take us along to the cabin and on other adventures. Your kids are learning so much by doing. Can't wait till the next trip to Seldovia. (p.s. I could spend the entire day just watching the bald eagles swoop in for salmon leftovers.)

    WOW. I loved watching this. Amazing the food you can make in a burner, grill, and small over along with over the fire. Enjoyed watching all your adventures. Hoping they caught ALOT of salmon to start filling your freezer for the year to come. My best part was watching the eagles 🦅 come get the remnants of the salmon ❤

    Hi Lauren! My kiddos and I love your videos so much. They also loved “exploring” with you especially finding the octopus 🐙 and crabs 🦀. The Alaskan cruise videos were great too! Can’t wait to visit with my family ❤
    May you and your family continue to be blessed 🙏🏾❤️

    just curious why your family doesn't use paper cups and plates , paper products were ideal when we lived the camping life and burning the mess is endlessly satisfying , LOL
