Hansen family reunion-June 27th (Sunday)

I'm about a month behind but I gotta start somewhere so here it goes!!

The first Sunday that everyone got here from Cory's family it was a special event for our niece Drewe. Her father Troy passed away 3 years ago this September and Drewe asked Uncle Cory if he would baptize her; he felt very honored. The baptism was really special and emotional.



Boy that boy is so cute!!

Brooklyn loves her girl cousins!!


Following the baptism we had a brunch at Cory's parents house before church at 11. It is always nice to be with family.

I love the picture of the boys church shoes bouncing on the trampoline

Enjoying yummy food

Love my boys

Ennie-I-Over

Late Sunday night we headed over to Cory's Grandparents house to play Ennie-I-Over; an old family tradition where you divide into two teams and one team is in the front of the house and the other team is in the back. You yell Ennie-I-Over when your team throws the tennis ball over the roof. If the team on the opposite side catches it then then run around the house with the ball and try to peg a player from the other team. If they get someone then that person is then on their team. It goes on and on until everyone is on one team. It was soooo much fun! I'd never played before and it turned out to be a perfect evening.

Cory's grandparents were the perfect hosts and treated us all to popsicles when we were all done. Brooklyn and Rigdon naturally didn't play with us but they played in the hose water instead and each ate a few popsicles. Ethan and Canyon had fun batting Great-Grandpa's trees out back and having the little flowers fall on their heads like snow. I was too busy playing to catch those photos!

Enjoying popsicles after an intense game!! Cory's family is pretty competitive!

On our way home we took our little family over to see Cory's old 90-year old neighbor Wilma! She is such a sweet and wonderful lady. Cory and her reminisced about Tippy, their dog, and fun paper-route memories and her late-husband Fred! We will definitely going back to visit her again soon!
