Hansen Family Reunion 2020: Activities on Thursday






About 2 months ago, I decided that our Hansen family reunion needed more activities.  I wanted more structured opportunities for people to interact and get to know each other better. No excuses for sitting around feeling bored.  So I set out to create a schedule with as many ideas as people suggested.

We started out Thursday with a scripture study with Dad and a yoga class at the same time (different room) with Heidi.






Our next activity was Ted talks, an idea I got from the Richard and Linda Eyre.We took video of each Ted talk for those who wanted to watch later.  There were about 7 total and it took about 90 minutes.




While the adults were listening to the Ted talks, the kids were making movies.  It ended up being a popular activity, especially watching the finished products.  We divided up the kids into 4 groups and put a young adult or teenager in charge:
  
After the Ted talks and movies, while we were waiting for lunch, Michelle did a folk-dancing class:


In the afternoon, people did a hike near Park City:

We also made shields for the Nerf Gun war which we didn't have quite enough time for but the shield-making seemed to be a fun activity:




That night we had our usual family talent show which is always a lot of fun to watch.  I'm still waiting for the video footage for our family from my brother who is on a really long car trip back home. But here's footage for the other families:

Visiting Susquehanna: The Priesthood Restoration Site

On our way home from Palmyra, we decided to go a couple of hours out of our way to visit the recently opened Priesthood Restoration Site along the Susquehanna River.  This is where we believe that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery received the keys of the Aaronic Priesthood from John the Baptist which gave them the authority to baptize.  This site also has the restored Isaac and Elizabeth Hale home where Joseph and Emma lived for a year as well as the home where Joseph and Emma lived on their own. We spent a couple of hours there and I wouldn't have minded a few more minutes but we had a long way to go that night.  It's a beautiful setting, very much in rural Pennsylvania.  However, on the day we were there, cars at a racetrack nearby were detracting from the peace and quiet.  I'm guessing that's not as big of a problem on weekdays. The Hale Family was quite well-off for their day so their home was probably nicely decorated with wallpaper and carpet. ...

Book Review: Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

This is a juvenile fiction book about a young girl named Melody with severe cerebral palsy.  Her body doesn't allow her to feed herself, speak, or do much at all.  She's very intelligent with a photographic memory but she can't really communicate.  Finally, in 5th grade, she gets a "Medi-Talker" which is a computer that speaks what she types in.  Finally she has a voice. This book explores what it is like to be severely physically disabled but not mentally disabled. It seems like one of the most frustrating of all scenarios.  She is completely aware of all the cruelty (subtle and otherwise) that her classmates inflict on her because they don't really want to include her in their activities.  One of the saddest moments in the book comes when she realizes that every one of her special ed classmates is kind, where the "normal" ones are not.  Who really has the worse disability? The book was a quick read and fairly enjoyable.  Wha...

Do Dots Family System

The original post was written in January of 2015. I wrote an update at the bottom of this post in March 2021. A few months ago, a friend of mine told me about something she was doing in her family to help her family function better.  Her teenage autistic son had been struggling a lot so they had been working with behavior therapists to help him and this "Do Dots Family System" had been recommended.  As she described it, I was greatly intrigued since it sounded like something I wanted to implement at my own house. I looked into it and decided to purchase it right after Thanksgiving.  Here is my review of how it has worked for us over the last six weeks or so. The basic idea of the chart is that children need to take care of their responsibilities before they get any privileges.  It strongly reinforces the concept of "Work Before Play" .  The chart helps children see in a very visual way that, until they have completed their responsibilities, they are on Le...
