Karaoke, Anyone?

Summer time is the best, don't you think?
My little family just attended our 900th family reunion -- this time with the Hansen side of the Fam -- and we are not even done with the family gatherings of love! That's right, people. One more to come. Just wait for it!

But in order to make a long-ish and fun-ish adventure short, I have included just a few pictures for all of our viewing pleasure. 'Cause don't you just feel you came right along with us? You lucky ducks, you!

My fabulous Aunt Jan has a karaoke machine that brings a lot of joy with it every time we see it -- 'cause if anyone knows how to burst out in riotess song, it is us.

His excellency, my brother Matt.
My partner for a rousing rendition of "The Love Shack!"

Sing it, baby!

Even better! My Uncle Craig (who has rocked my world by revealing his true party-animal self) and my great-Uncle Gord singing "Achy-Breaky Heart." Wish you were there!

And here are our youngest performers, Leighna and Livia.
You think they didn't sing?
Oh yes, they sang.

It sounded like this:
"UUUuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
UUUUuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........."

I know what you're all thinking: "Why? Why wasn't I born a member of that family?!?"
Understandable, really.
I mean, I feel your pain.

The best I can do is offer you visitation rights -- but visitation rights you have, my friend.
Visitation Rights you have.

I am deeply disappointed to have missed this spectacular spectacle

"Love Shack" should be illegal. And singing it at karaoke may deserve a felony.

I'll forgive you. Eventually.
