Graduation!



This week our high school senior Talmage did his graduation walk.  In our current pandemic world, the normal graduation has been cancelled.  So instead, each senior scheduled a time (every three minutes) when they came to the school and walked through a giant inflated Tiger mouth (since our mascot is the Tigers) while their name was announced.  Then they got a diploma from the principal and we took pictures in front of the "O".  I actually really enjoyed it.  It felt really personal.  I think Talmage liked it too. 

On May 28th every high school in the district will have a virtual graduation ceremony that we can watch at home and then they will set off a fireworks show at each high school.  We'll try to take Talmage out that night for dinner and make it a special day for him.






Here's a picture of him right before he started kindergarten:

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...
