Ice Skating

Yet another family tradition we've started in the last several years is ice skating on MLK Day. Sometimes we go ice skating up at the outdoor rink in Midway, UT.  The weather is usually sunny and I really enjoy skating outside.  But that rink is not as child-friendly as Seven Peaks in Provo.  The Midway rink doesn't have walkers for beginning skaters and they don't let you hold a child or take one in a stroller.

For that reason, we decided to go to Seven Peaks this year.  Our youngest, Camille, really wants to learn how to skate and she needs a walker to help her learn how to balance and glide. The sessions are two hours long with a Zamboni break in the middle, and she was out on the ice the entire time.  She loved it! And she made a lot of progress during that time.


My older children loved it too.  They are good skaters even though they only skate a few times a year.  They play tag and it's fun to watch them zoom around.  They really have a good time together.

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.

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...
