July 4th Weekend

We had a blast over the 4th weekend in Salt Lake City at the Hansen's. All of the Hansen siblings were there-- for the first time since Emily's wedding almost three years ago! There are six cousins now (and Baby Hale on the way!) and it was so fun to watch how much the kids enjoyed each other. The families are:
Gary (Grampuh) and Marilyn (Grammuh) Hansen from Salt Lake City.
Heidi (Hansen) and Andy Myers from Chandler, AZ and their children Sophie (7), Audrey (5) and David (1).
Us!
Andy and Amanda Hansen from Milwaukee, WI and their son Tyler (2).
Emily (Hansen) and Jon Hale from Fort Collins, CO and their baby on the way!

It was so sad to see everyone go home, but we are looking forward to our next Hansen reunion!


The backyard was the perfect place for the Birthday picnic!



Tom and Audrey had such a fun time playing together!



Sophie is so cute with Gordon! She is great at getting him to giggle.



Gordon and Tyler practicing their concert duet. We think these little guys look like brothers!



Grammuh's tire swing was a huge hit! It was so fun to watch the kids push each other.



Bedtime stories are much more fun when they're read by a favorite cousin! (Sophie and Thomas)


Chris had to work on the 4th, so I went to Salt Lake with the boys to hang out with the fam. We went to the street fair in Sugar House, then to a yummy lunch at the Olive Garden, and finished up the evening watching fireworks from Eastwood Elementary. It was a really fun day!

As you can tell by his face, Thomas is just thrilled about getting his picture taken.



Gordon, look at Mommy! I just couldn't seem to get a good picture of him on the 4th. Oh well!



After a very long, hot wait in line (with some of the world's friendliest people), the kids enjoyed every second of their time in the bounce castle!
