Mindy Graduates!

 We have another high school graduate! Mindy officially graduated on Thursday. She had to work really hard in math which is a hard subject for her but she persevered and got through. We had dinner at Culver's beforehand so she could be at UVU at 6pm like she needed to be. We took pictures at Orem High the week before.




Since she was sitting on the front row for choir, she got lots of showings on the Jumbotron.







Mindy was one of the first to be called. Everett, Caroline, Susanna, Jay, Camille, Scott, and I all cheered loudly for her. But the whole graduation became some kind of contest to see who could cheer the loudest. It got amazingly loud. Someone had an air horn; someone else had a small confetti cannon. By the end, Scott and I were plugging our ears. We're getting old and we have to protect the last shreds of our hearing!





Today she gave a talk in church so now she's done all the things--the parties, the senior send-off at school, the ceremony. Congratulations, Mindy!

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...
