Visiting Houston

Recently Scott and I went for a short visit to Houston to visit Lincoln's family! We left after Scott taught his class on Thursday morning and arrived in Houston that evening. We were excited to see Lincoln and Addie as they came to pick us up! MiCayla made us a good dinner and then went off to play basketball at the church which is one of her favorite things to do.

On Friday, we visited the Houston Rodeo grounds. It was kind of like going to the state fair where you see lots of animals on display. I think people go here to buy cattle. Others go just to see lots of different animals--like us. There was a big art show from students in the area. There were lots of places to get food and the obligatory carnival rides. We watched an "extreme" dog show which was pretty fun. Addie got a new cowboy hat! When you live in Texas you need cowboy boots and a hat--we saw lots of those.

Right before we went to the petting zoo, Addie said she wanted to pet a kangaroo. Lincoln said, I don't think they will have a kangaroo but...there was!

Cole is such an easygoing, happy baby. He smiles every time I look at him!

Saturday was full of yard work and hanging around the house. Sunday was church and making a big turkey dinner. Then on Monday before we went home, we rented a paddleboat and went to the Woodlands where they have a canal going through the downtown area. Then we had some leftovers for dinner, took a few pictures together, and Lincoln took us to the airport to catch our flight home. It was a fun 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...
