This was our first Booth Reunion with out Grandpa Cucui. My Dad died of cancer in January of this year. We really miss him but tried our best to have fun and do all the things that he loved to do. Most of us arrived on July 13th, his birthday. We had his two favorite cakes, chocolate with vanilla frosting and vanilla with chocolate frosting. We love him so much and really miss him, but will stay close and continue to do the things he loved. Here are some of the fun activities that we did at our reunion. We Swam, jumped on the trampoline, did lots of eating, played darts (Dustin won), played the marble game, did lots of eating, had tea parties, painted fingernails and toenails, did lots of eating, played pool golf, went down the water slide, did lots of eating, played battle of the sexes and scene it (boys won), and played scum, oh did I mention we did lots of eating. My favorite part was when Julie (my stepmom) gathered all of the girls together and gave us shirts that said Got Elk? She told us about a trip that her and my Dad took, before he died, to Durango, Colorado. He saw this shirt and had to buy it for Julie, also known as Grandma Honeybee. When they got home he got to thinking that all of his girls needed one of those cool shirts, so he told Julie that the next time they went to Durango they needed to get us all one. They had a trip planned and he died about a week and a half before they were supposed to go. Julie still went on that trip with friends and she bought the shirts for all of us girls. It made me feel like I was getting a little part of him even though he was gone.
We had a blast. Of course it will never be the same without my Dad, but we have each other and we will always remember him. We love you Dad! Thanks for a great Family Reunion everyone, I hope there are many more to come.
