Hiking Blue Sky to Coyote Ridge


Day 2 of day 3 to tire the kids out so they'd stop squabbling.  Day 1 consisted of walking the kids to school and back.  It's not that far (1.25 miles one way) but every little bit of exercise in the winter counts and they obviously hadn't been getting enough!  This is one of the less inspiring hikes around but it's close to town and we didn't have to go out and back.  Q still managed to find some nooks to hide in.
We did see a couple of deer and
lots of prairie dogs
and even this bunny pretending to be a prairie dog! 
C even tangled with a wild Prickly Pear Cactus...by the looks of things I think the cactus won!

Taking a break!
