We've had a nice run of outstanding weather lately, so today we decided to take advantage of it and get the whole family out for a bit this morning. Cooper is a bit like a working dog, he needs to be run every now and then to get out his excess energy. With a wild fire burning very near Heil Ranch our normal family hiking spot, we went a little further north today to Hall Ranch.
Setting off on our hike
Lauren bundled up and ready for the trail
Cooper and his trusty stick. The stick resides in the back of our CR-V and Cooper takes it with him every time we go hiking
Today he tried to use his magical stick as binoculars
We got about to our turnaround spot and Cooper had gone far enough on his own power, so he hitched a ride. We were on the hiking only trail and he kept spotting the bikes on the shared use trail.
As we made our way back to the car, we happened upon a pack of 6 - 8 mule deer, some tiny babies in the bunch. We stood quietly (yes even Cooper) and watched them for a couple minutes before letting them continue their Saturday morning meal.
