Goodbye party!

Well, before the goodbye party, here's a few more pictures from the events of the weekend.  This was the first night, dinner. The kitchen was huge and perfect!
This was gathering in the parking lot before our hike, for snack distribution and sunscreening. So many people!
Donny had these flags made for all of us, and hung them up for display.  It was so fun!
Emma and Maris with their little buddies, Audrey and Brooke.  Brooke traditionally hadn't liked anyone in the extended family except for me, but she got close with Maris when they stayed with 
katrina while we did the Narrows- just 2 weeks before.  So Brooke let Maris and Emma play with her at the reunion, yay!
Adult game night- hilarious as usual!!!! Katelyn and Whitney joined this time and it was so fun!! Katelyn led us in 2 improv games and they ended up being SOO funny; we knew the Hansens would be up for Improv, and also excel at it! And then we played this game Jonathan thought up and Donny helped facilitate- a bunch of us Hansen siblings and mom and dad went outside and rubber-banded squeaky chickens to our feet. We were laughing SO hard!  And then we came in and Whitney was blindfolded with a nerf gun and had to try to hit us!  
Donny, Derek, Raycelan, Jonathan, Katelyn, Katrina, Phillip, Mom, Whitney, Eric, Connor, Jenae, Melissa... I only got half of the group in my panoramic picture.
Katrina took this adorable picture of Justin and Brooke with my camera.
This was Sunday morning songs with Raycelan playing the ukulele.
And here's the goodbye party!  While the adults finished the packing and cleaning, we sent all the kids outside to eat these giant otter pops Christine had bought. They were HUGE and I ended up getting some more cute pictures of lots of the kids.
Jamie, Travis

Mei, Whit and Emma,

Nathan and Travis, Jenna and Lydia,

Justin and Spencer, Hazel and Mallorie,

And the Murrays and Cravens throwing straw as "fireworks" as each car went down the driveway to leave! It was cute. 
What a great location and amazing planning by Donny and Christine.  It was fulfilling to be together.
