This year we went to Denton, Texas where my Papa was born and raised. It was a huge family affair. All 6 of us went, my mom and dad, my brother and his wife and adorable nephew and my granny and papa. We had an awesome time.
We went to Uncle Curtis and Aunt Pauline's house. They still own a little of the original homestead that was staked after the Civil War.
My Papa is one of 17 kids...yes...17! There have been a total of 7 of the kids(I think) that have passed away. We wanted this to be an extra special Easter for Papa. He is not in great health and we wanted a chance for him to show all of his grandsons off! I am so very glad that we went. There were over 80 of the Burch family there. A total of 4 generations. With another 4 generations buried up at the Old Alton Cemetery.
The bridge in the picture is the Old Alton Bridge. It is the bridge that my Papa and his siblings had to cross to get to church. I wanted a great picture of our boys on it and I think that we were very able to capture what I was wanting. This picture will be Papa's and Daddy's Father's Day gifts!
