We love the Burton Cabin (or as Anna calls it the “little cabin”.) Dave’s Great- Grandparents built it. Betty Lou’s red decorating is perfect. Dave’s Mom designed the loft. Dave’s Dad built many things around the cabin. And Dave’s whole extended family has enjoyed it for YEARS. We truly miss Dave’s Grandma, Betty Lou, and her dancing moves to Stayin’ Alive, but we are forever grateful for the memories and now the opportunity to enjoy more family time up there. I could fill this post with hundreds of photos from over the years, but the most meaningful photos are the reason I blog tonight. Last Sunday we had ALL of Art and Betty Lou’s descendants at the cabin for dinner (minus Dave’s Mom, Karen, who passed away 15 years ago).
37 total people
2 of Art and Betty Lou’s children + 2 spouses, 1 son in law + 1 spouse
11 of Art and Betty Lou’s grandchildren + 7 spouses
14 great-grandchildren (including 5 infants all born within the last 10 months)
6 states represented ( 5 of those from the Richard Burton Family (: )
1st time in over 15 years ( I don’t even know when) but I know not everyone has been there when I first started going.
It was a memorable night to say the least. We had great conversations, lots of photos taken (Sarah I need a copy of the good one!), some joyful tears shed, renovation plans discussed, and most importantly LOTS of yummy food and too much dessert
Thank you Richard and Emmy for planning a GREAT EVENING!!
EVERYONE… (37 in all)
Children and Grandchildren
Grandchildren and Great- Grandchildren
Grand children and Great Grand Babies - all born within 7 months of each other (isn’t Maddie’s Face hilarious?!)

Just Ask Anna what she thought of the night… ROCK ON!!! (She enjoyed it when Daddy put her PJ’s on her head!)
