Reptiles and cousins oh my!

This weekend we were so lucky to have some of our Jeppson family drive all the way from St. George UT to visit and do some "herping." Here is a picture of the crew, sans Ridge, somewhere in Kansas.
Brennan, Mike (Matt's brother) Spencer, Gage, Matt, Asher & Jaydan
We loved having you here, we hope it was worth the drive Mike!



Spencer


Gage & Brennan




Cousin sleep-overs wouldn't be complete without Brennan telling his famous bedtime stories.




Gage & Asher are only 4 months apart and were connected at the hip. Ash was so happy to have a friend his age to play with.


Gray tree frog catching with flashlights. Ridge looks like he's squeezing it, but he's not.



Bullfrog/dirty faced Jay



The tree frogs were EVERYWHERE, so much so that Matt said "this just isn't right, it's not supposed to be this easy!"


Mr. Gage



Uncle Mike
This final shot captures a bit of their adventure. You can see Asher and Gage in the bottom right of the frame chasing tadpoles in the pond. Not as visible are the rest of the boys that are up in a tree to the left of Ash and Gage. They had just hunted all the surrounding hills in the picture, lifting rocks. (probably 1,000+)

I never thought I'd understand this whole "herping" thing. But I will say that the boys and some neighbors were having too much fun finding a couple of frogs in our backyard the other day. Maybe I'll understand it sooner than I think... :)

I love the picture with the boys' cousin, Spencer, putting the snakes on Gage's head. LOL too funny!
