We went, with Bart and Shell, to Shell's families ranch in Ruby Valley Nevada. It was time to round up the cows and calves, and get the calves branded and vaccinated. Bart, Ben, Ethan, Ken, and Wilson helped Paul (Shell's uncle) and Brian (Shell's cousin's husband) get it done! Paul and Brian live at the ranch year round.

There were lots of old trucks and tractors for the boys to climb on - and boy did they love it!
Shell showing Holden and Wilson the old cowboy outhouse! The blacksmith shop next to it was built in about 1906.

Holden watching the calves!
Boys checking out the horses, and loving climbing on the railings!
My three little cowboys:)
It was an experience we will never forget! The are definitely city folk - but it was great to enjoy a quieter life for a couple of days!
