Easter hike and little birdy!

My little family loves to hike. We love the fresh air, we love the exercise, we love the sagebrush, trees, plants, lizards, birds, and everything else that goes along with being outdoors.

Afton especially loves to hike. She will go and go and go, collecting walking sticks, chasing lizards, smelling sagebrush, and racing up and down the same trail while she waits for daddy to investigate a tree or some moss.

Today was fun because we weren't planning on hiking. We were going for a quick drive to Cedar Fort and as we drove around the rodeo grounds Afton kept saying, let's hike. So we did! We found a little trail and went up and up until we hit a bit of a plateau and then we turned around.

Before we left there was a really pretty bird (still trying to decide what it was) fascinated by it's reflection in our side view mirrors. It would peck at it's reflection in one mirror and then go to the next. It didn't seem to care about proximity so we stayed close watching and laughing.

As we came down the trail we noticed the bird was still there. We got in the car, rolled down the windows and couldn't believe the bird was still right there with us. Afton kept yelling, get away from our car bird! We ended up with some poop, a couple of scratches, and a funny little video.

I didn't have my camera so these are all from my phone!
