Last week we met up with Paul's Brother and his family and Paul's dad at the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in northern Nevada. We had such a wonderful time, and made so many memories:
- Finding out how much you have in common with your cousins, including a true love for legos, star wars and beef jerky.
- Quality time with Uncle Aaron and Aunt Sandy
- Plenty of "guy time"
- Being together, being unplugged, and feeling connected
- Yummy camp food
- Jack's amazing Star Wars origami
- Hanging out with Ripley- drool and all
- Seeing shooting stars
- Seeing a herd of antelope
- Listening to noisy bullfrogs, howling coyotes and wild burros while trying to sleep
- Feeling "REAL HEAT" for the first time this Summer
- Rowan getting "stuck" in an outhouse (very not funny to him)
- Fishing with Grandpa and Uncle Aaron
- Catching tadpoles and minnows in the pool
- Being brothers
- Visiting an Opal mine and seeing an amazing arrowhead collection
- Learning to appreciate the silence- and being able to hear the bugs, birds and jack rabbits
- Building fires
- Seeing a bull snake and not screaming
- S'mores
- Swimming in the warm springs pool
- Laughing at Grandpa's jokes and stories
- Waking up on flat air mattresses
- Hikes
- Coming home completely exhausted from all the fun you had!

What an awesome trip! I don't know that I would be brave enough to do it, but kudos to you!
looks like a great trip! I especially like the part about enjoying the sounds of bugs, birds, etc. in all the quiet.
Finally found a moment to enjoy this post. Extra fab photos, Michelle!
