Family Reunion

During July28-30 we all flew to St Louis to be with the rest of the Daffron Family. The reunion was held at the Harbor Inn and Condo's by Mark Twain Lake. We have been coming here to spend 3 days of our summer for the past 10 years. Everyone has a great time eating, playing cards, visiting each other, watching all the new children and cousins get reaquainted, and the highlight is going out on the pontoon boats and swimming in the lake. Some of the family have speed boats where they go tubbing on the water. Drew really loves this. Mariah was her usual busy self and had a fabulous time with her new cousins. Missy and I had a great time being together with my family and seeing my father, Ed and his wife Helen who makes all the trip a joy. She is known for her delicious bananna pudding and her home made mac and cheese.
This may be the last time for Ed as his parkinson's is really advancing. We love him so much and only want the best for him, Helen has been a true trooper in keeping him in a loving home with help from her daughter Nancy and her friend Greg. Without these two wonderful people Helen would not be able to keep Ed at home. Anyway, all was truely fun and life is meant to have wonderful memories as these. Having time for family is always a true experience.
