She took a holiday

Weird, we didn't get an email from Sister Hansen this week.  So, this is her mam posting . . .  I grew up where Sister Hansen is serving the Lord,  it's my home Stake and Mission.  4th of July is huge in our little town and since Pioneer Day is a Utah State holiday there is no splitting of the parades or fireworks shows.  It's huge, and the whole city turns up.  

There is a little lake in the middle of Longview, not a boating or swimming type lake.  More of a walk-and-see-the-beautiful-landscaping-enjoy-nature-kinda of lake.  On the 4th there are all types of booths where people sell all kinds of things, sort of a farmers/flea market type thing.  

The missionaries in Emma's area had a little booth about Family History at Lake Sacajawea, so of course my family all headed over to see her and harass the missionaries a little.  

Below are some of the pictures . . .  and yes, the Adair side of our family are vertically challenged.  I think I have the family record standing at 5'5" or on a good hair day 5'7".  My brother may be 5'6" or 5'7" but basically Emma and Bryce are giants compared to them, LOL.  Just for the record Emma is only 5'8". Sure looks like Sister Hansen was finding joy on the 4th.

She may have gotten emotional when she saw the fam

Since is was missionary p-day (kind of a "free" day) Emma and her companion (Sister Bevan) were able to go visit with family for a little while before going back to the area where she is serving.  

Marley upset because missionaries are not 

allowed to let kids sit on their laps

Some fine "hammer" pants Emma purchased at the Lake.
