BCS Rally - April 2012

Howdy Rally a Huge Success

What a BUSY week we had. We saw so many things and visited all the places that were on our itinerary! LEO's were a success as always. Ken & Sandra even celebrated another wedding anniversary while we were in BCS.
I'll post a few pictures now and more whenever folks send me some to post. I didn't take a whole lot myself so help me out Chapter 10 folk!
Thanks and hugs,
Patty Rogers
