A Quick Trip to Boise

Usually you don't go north for vacation in the winter, but that's what we did last week. Our son invited us to come visit him and his family while they were visiting his wife's family so we headed north. We hadn't seen them in a year so we were excited for a visit. We left right after church on Sunday and drove without stopping to Boise. We had an Airbnb and it worked out nicely. We were able to visit the Larsen family and play lots of games. Some of us went skiing at Bogus Basin while the rest of us took a walk or played around the Larsens' and enjoyed the remarkably pleasant weather. The next day, we took a look at the Anne Frank/Human Rights Memorial in downtown Boise and walked on the Boise River Greenbelt Trail. Unfortunately it was pretty cold and windy so we didn't last long doing that. Despite that, we had a great time visiting with our son and his wife and baby and playing lots of games. We headed back Wednesday morning, making good time, so we could finish up our Christmas preparations. It was a good trip.

2024 Hansen Family Reunion, Wednesday

Recently we had another Hansen Family Reunion at Bear Lake. We've been having these destination reunions since 2008. There were about 70 of us in attendance. Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too. We showed up on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a taco salad dinner, served by Neil and Kristie's family. We also worked on two mixer games: a word search with the names of all 100 Hansen family members as well as a Bingo card that involved finding people with different attributes like recent high school graduation, birthdays in certain months, etc. The word search was definitely the most popular. Also popular was playing Nine-Square and Sandy Pickle (a cross between pickle ball and badminton). Thys and Katrina might have won! After dinner, we had an FHE activity/lesson. Liz had made a book with stories of the first ancestors to join the church. She had selected different stories for us to act out in g...

Hansen Family Reunion 2024, Thursday afternoon

For lunch on Thursday, Lauren and Kurt made Cafe Rio which was delicious. On Thursday afternoon, we had free time at the lake. Heidi and Aaron rented a pontoon boat and took people out for rides. This was very popular. Some of us went on the kayaks and/or swimming or just hung out on the beach.

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...
