Dance the Night Away with.... The Shopping Cart, Oh Ya.

For those of you who are wondering.....  

No we did not do the shopping cart all night long...  

Actually we didn't even do it half the night.  And for those of you who are wondering just what, exactly the shopping cart is.  It is simply walking while acting like you are pushing a shopping cart, while you pretend to take things from a shelf and put them in the imaginary basket that you are supposedly.  Pushing.  It sounds ridiculous...  I know.  But fun nonetheless.

 It was kinda just what my friend Rebecca and I did when we weren't asked to dance.  Just so that we could look like dorks.  Because that is one of the things we do best.

No actually, we did a whole bunch of line dances, and some waltzes and swing dancing.  And we did the sprinkler too but that is a different story.  Well it is kind of the same story, (oh no here I go again.)  

I am very skatter-brained lately.  Actually come to think of it...  I am always skatter brained.  Which is probably why I start doing this in like every post ever thought of on my blog. 

And will I ever get on with the goings on of the evening besides the fact that we (we as in, my siblings, me and Rebecca, who might as well be a sibling.)  did the shopping cart and the sprinkler? Oh, we played musical chairs too....  Just thought I would throw that in there for (as my southern friends would say, who I might add...  I need to write a letter to.) y'all.  

Ok, just one more thought on that.  I love saying "y'all" but every time I say it here in the Northwest people don't seem to quite appreciate it.  I'm not sure why, but whenever I say it I get weird looks and giggles...  Which is probably most of the reason that I say it.  I am a very contrary person.  My brother likes to say that I have a disagreeable personality.  I haven't quite decided if that is a good or a bad thing yet. 

 I will let you know my further thought on that later...  Maybe.  That is a BIG maybe, though.

Just try to bear in mind please that I never claimed to be a photographer soooooo....  Ya.

Seth kinda looks sick in this picture.  But ya know it's a good sick.  Like "that truck is sick man!" ....... Ok well, maybe not, but it was worth a try anyway, right?
(that was supposed to be said with a surfer boy/skater/punk dude accent by the way.  Just letting you in on some little formalities.  We must get these things right you know.) 

Rebecca.

I can tell Seth is just thinking "oh ya, I look cool."  Now I will leave it up to you to decide wether that is true or not.  :)

Very blurry picture of people swing dancing or talking about  trying, (keyword here being trying) to swing dance.  It didn't work out so well when I tried it with Rebecca.  It was pretty hysterical.  There was much laughing on my part...  Come to think of it there was on her part too.  


In the words of...  Well, actually mysel...  heh.  
"Best friends are, well.  The best."

Rebecca has an escort.  

I LOVE this picture.
 It is so funny.  Rebecca is supposed to be doing her hair.  (it kinda looks like...  actually I don't know what it looks like she is actually doing.)  Meshach is just bein' a dork and Seth is *wink* *wink*  fixing his tie.  




More dancing.



(left to right: Katy, Elisa, Forest.)
They didn't want me to take a picture.  Hence, the reason Forest is hiding behind his sister. 

(left to right: Timothy, Noah, Thaddeus.)
We met lots of new awesome people there and I went around taking random pictures of people that I met there.  It was awesome.  :)  And just FYI I love the name Thaddeus.
It. is. cool.
I feel really bad but I forgot the name of the first girl in this picture.  I'm sure it will come back to me one of these moments.  Anyway, the other two are Irene and Maddie.  I <3 these girls.  They were so much fun to talk to and laugh at ridiculous things with.
(agg.  Glare.  The camera was giving me some problems that night but I still wanted to post this picture)
more dancing.



The three amigos.  

And the last picture of the night was of Wesley.  This guy is really funny. and was the MC of the dance.  Thanks for MC'ing!  It was awesome and you did a great job!  
Well, that is all of our dance craziness. Thank you all *ahem* I mean y'all, (so there) for putting up with more of my ramblings.  I simply had to get it out of my system somehow and I couldn't ask for a better listener I think.

Oh my goodness.

 Off I go again.

 I better end this before it gets too late to be today anymore and magically turns into tomorrow.  Well maybe not magically but I just like saying that.  I know....  I'm a nut.

I've been told...

 Many times.

Love,
Han

Post Christmas Shenanigans.

 Apparently we (as in the Woltersdorf family and a few others) decided that we wanted to go up into the mountains and hang out one day.  So, we did.  It was fun, It was wet....  wait no what am I saying...  It wasn't wet a bit actually, I guess I am just so used to saying that it was wet because it normally is.

Let me start over ok?

 Here goes...  It was fun, it was cold (not wet), well if you count the river then it was very wet, but we didn't go in the river and the river didn't bother us...  Well there were a few mud puddles.  Whoa, ok I need to focus or I am never going to be done with this post and you are going to be stuck here reading it for hours....  Or never reading it because I never finished it because I kept on rambling...

(focus, Hannah, focus.)

Alright let's try this one more time shall we.  It was fun, it was cold, it was muddy, but really it was pretty awesome... And I hurt my leg...  (Just thought I would throw that in there just in case you wanted to know...  You probably didn't but it doesn't really matter wether or not you did or did not because there you have it.)

I was so bummed when we got there because I realized that our camera was broken and the Bloomers didn't bring theirs, so we were cameraless....  Or so I thought, it turns out smart phones are good for something besides looking at facebook...  Who knew right?  So, Ethan took these pictures (yes all of them) with his phone.  I was really glad that he did otherwise we wouldn't have any pictures of our time up there.

Hundreds of dead fish in the river....  Wow this is a wonderful way to start off the pictures isn't it?  Oh well.  I am feeling very random today.

And the dude with the camera.

Typical Josh picture.  :P  

The vehicles.

Seriously, dads hat...  I can never take him seriously in it.

ITS LUNCH TIME!
Mom made chili for all of us AND, AND, she says she's disappointed that there is no pictures of the (so called) "camp cook"  or the "camp cooks chili".  I think that she should fill out a complaint form and give it to the photographer...  Watch out Ethan, my mother is ruthless. ;)

More lunch


and more.

 After we were done goofing off way up out in the boonies, Me ( acting as co-pilot), Josiah (as squashed banana 1.) , Ethan (as Pilot), Gabe (squashed banana 2), and Josh (squashed banana 3. and nominated most talkative person on trip....  Ever.) decided that we wanted to go to a movie.  We saw Tintin.  I really liked Tintin, it was very faithful to the books/comics (I guess they are just comics but we have a book with comics in it...  What now?!  Two in one.  Pretty impressive eh?)  And the animation was incredible.  Andy Serkis did a really good job acting as the Captain, and Jaime Bell (Tintin) will always be one of my favorites.  I had a really hard time, I must admit, getting it out of my head that he wasn't actually "gollum" anymore was... pretty tough.


Hey look a nerd...  wonder where he came from?

Oh look another nerd... I mean geek.  Sorry.

Josiah dancing with Elvis outside the cinema.

from left to right: Josiah, Me, Gabe, Josh.
and the last picture of the evening.  You can't see it very well but all of us "minors" were told to stand behind the "no minors" sign just for kick and giggles.  It was fun.   
After that we went home and chilled out, put puzzles together, got warm by the fire, Watched John Wayne, and since none, (and when I say none... I mean none.) of these losers had ever seen Tangled.  So we watched that too, and sadly they didn't get to see the end but they did see most of it.  And got to hear all of us sing along to the songs as it was playing, was that as annoying as it sounds you ask?....  Yes, yes it was.

All in all it was very fun and we had a great time!  Hi-lights of the day I think were, listening to all the guys sing "amerika" in the car, watching Jared back up his jeep and go through a mud puddle fast so that he could get mud on his car, and joking about duct taping Josh's mouth shut, and renaming aforementioned "duct tape" to "Josh tape" (sorry Josh, but that was funny).

Thanks for reading/looking!  I hope I will be able to post about some other New Years stuff soon, until then!

Love,
Han

P.S. How was that Maria?

Christmas Eve Breakfast.

This year we had our annual christmas eve breakfast as usual.  Although it was a little bit cramped it was still awesome, and one of the best ones yet.  (yes Mack family we missed you so much)  It was...  In my opinion, everything it should have been, and was expected to be.  I love the christmas season for so many reasons...  And for those of you who don't celebrate christmas....  You are seriously missing out, and I mean seriously.  

Rebecca took this picture of the table.  

Lydia in her spiffy new PJ's.  We always wear the new pajamas that we got for christmas for breakfast that morning...  It is pretty awesome.

The Koch's grandparents!  I was so glad they could come!  I love these two.

Mrs. Koch explaining something to everyone.

Our huge table, with everyone eating breakfast at it...  I am so glad dad and Josiah made this for us.

The guys bein weird.

Jessica and I....  My hand looks very creepy in this one....  Just sayin'

The guys trying to smile, it wasn't working very well...  I couldn't get them to all smile at once.

Josiah and Ethan....  Josiah wouldn't quit moving.  He is such a pill.  :P

Dad trying to look scary...  It kinda just turned out looking weird though.  haha

I'm pretty sure he was telling me not to take a picture here...  And Meshach.......  Well ya, we wont go there. 













Excited!

After breakfast all the younger people (younger as in young adults) and some of the little kids went on a walk.



LOVE this picture!  Thanks Rebecca for taking it.
Now that we are through the myriad of photos...  I think, Christmas Eve 2011 = Success.  Definitely.

It was so nice to be able to spend christmas with friends and family, we are very blessed to be able to do this every year.

Love,
Han
