Hiking

This weekend Matt had to fly his plane to San Diego for maintenance. Rather than staying down there for a few days without us, he chose to ride the Amtrak back up the coast (4.5 hours) so we could spend part of his weekend with him.

Yesterday we went hiking at Rancho Sierra Vista, which is a small state park about 20 minutes from our house. This was Skylar's first hiking experience. Although, we didn't actually have to carry her the whole way because we started walking and then realized that the trail was good enough for our beast of a stroller, so Matt ran back to the truck and got it.

While hiking we saw a baby hawk, a full grown hawk that was hunting (so cool), and a really nasty looking coyote. I have never been afraid of a coyote before, but this one was walking towards us and didn't scare off until we were about 30-40 feet away from it, at which point it nonchalantly turned and walked off.

Matt's plane is supposed to be finished today (sadly), so he had to spend the rest of his "weekend" riding the train back to San Diego.

Here are a few pictures from our first hiking adventure.

Skylar decided to have a nap part way through the hike.
