Hansen Family Reunion

the murrays hosted our Hansen family reunion this summer at their home in santaquin and it was a total blast! all 22 of us (plus 2 on the way) were there. heavenly! this post is a picture over load!!
 
we tried to go to the hot air balloon show in provo at 6am, but it was cancelled due to a possible storm. fail.  
 
(I don't know why this picture is rotated. it is fine in the album...)
 
 
we went on a hike up to a waterfall. it was great exercise and beautiful scenery!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

some of us went to the lake to go boating. Natalie was the lone member of the mackay family to go and she had the time of her life!


 

we did a service project of picking up trash at two different locations in sanatquin- good times!


 
 
 
we had a talent show! it was hilarious and I just love my family!
we did "let it grow" from the lorax.

 
 
 
 
 
Donny and Christine did a mix of songs with dance moves and props
 
Lydia sang a song (with some support =o])
 
the murrays sang a funny song from Whitney's preschool
 
Derek played a song on his guitar (why is this man still available?!?!)
 
Natalie sang a song from "wicked" with some help from her aunts
 
the hansens performed 'man of constant sorrow' from oh brother where art thou. hilarious!
 
  
the fireworks!!

 

poor Katelyn wasn't feeling well the majority of the reunion and as you can see here we tried to include her in every way we could. poor thing!
 
 



 
jonathan played out in the sprinklers with the nieces

 

we painted souvenirs


here are just some random pictures- aren't cousins the best! 
 

 

 
 

 

I love the discussions we get into as a family. so many interesting opinions and insights!

we had a campfire dinner up in the canyon and sang songs afterwards. awesome as usual =o]

it was Lydia's birthday that weekend so we had a party for her while we were all together. the cousins did a treasure hunt

and squashed around her while she opened her presents ;o]


our nephew ryder was blessed that sunday and i'm so glad we got to be there to hear phillip blessing him and Katrina bear her testimony.

the nephews


all the cousins


the happy craven family

 
the sisters! I love them all so much for so many different reasons!
 
the whole Hansen clan! when oh when will we all be together again???
 
what a great trip! i'm so grateful we got to be there!
