How do I get 435 photos..all my favorites..into a manageable post?

I don't know...do you??

So..this is the Reader Digest Condensed Tomato Soup version...

We're on our way...

..soon, Mr. B built us a "home"...

..and he built us a bed..from a "Bed in a Box"..

Then...he discovered...FIRE!!

Which was really good...'cos we were fREeZinG!

..we did a LOT of this...

and we saw a lot of this...


..and we dreamed about having on of these..

..but were sooo impressed by all of these...

..and of course we did a little of this..

We drove and found some sWeeT small towns..

..and we were totally  aMaZEd by the sight of this..

..and enjoyed every minute with tHeM..

and we know we have HIM to thank...


..HE delivered all of us back safely to our little homes..tired, smelling like camp smoke, a little scratched and weary..but soo happy..

Glad you had a great time. Loved your way of sharing a ton of pictures. Fun! We used to do a lot of camping but have not done it in a long time. I have gotten too used to hotel camping these days. :-)

Wish I'd have been there. I like camping. I just want SOME things around. Like plumbing.

What a good way to show lots of pictures. Sounds like a good weekend with family. I'm afraid I like the luxury of a bathroom when on holidays these days.

The condensed version of your vacation was very, very cool! I loved seeing all the pictures :) Glad you had a great time and welcome home!

You did an outstanding job of condensing your vacay but I must say, as much as I'd like to see all of those amazing mountains and small towns, I'd want to do it from a nearby hotel.

Looks like you had an awesome trip! I love camping too! I like how you put all the pictures together, I'll have to learn how to do that. Glad your back! Have a great week.

Ah Colleen - your posts are SO entertaining! Glad you are back home and that you had such a great time. I like I needed your Mr. B on our camping trips (when we used to go). My own Mr. B, wasn't quite as handy as yours LOL.

Fantastic pics and such a fun read!

Hugs,

Sue

Very clever way of showing us your camping trip. I'm still impressed! (I know what you mean about those photo files. Gheesh. I took 125 pics in four hours so I am also impressed that you have so few after camping for days. :D )

So glad you were able to enjoy time and fun with all your "peeps". There is so much that's wonderful about camping; or so I've been told! :)
