Every two years, the Angelman Syndrome Foundation holds a conference for all the families who have angels in their lives. Since David's diagnosis, this conference has been a learning experience for our family. Out of the nine possible conferences I could have gone to, I've been to six.
It's always fun to meet new families and talk about our experiences and just simply be around hundreds of other people who get what you're going through. The first day, I always go to a sibling session. As siblings of angels, we all have joys and frustrations. Being able to explain them really helps. Plus, connecting and forming new friendships is great as well.
We drove this year, as we do most years. David rides really well and it is fun to explore the country as we go. We went through St Louis and Georgia. Peaches and Pecans were totally necessary in Georgia!
Mom and Dad go to different workshops and David and I attend the children's activities. This year, we were in Orlando again. The first activity was Lego Land. 
The second activity was a Manatee encounter. Both were fun. I think David liked the bus rides the best!
