Open Space Hiking with Dad

I can't quite remember what Tara on this day, but I am always happy to take the boys outdoors for any sort of hiking, climbing, biking, or whatever.  We have said this many times before, but this truly is where they are at there best because they love being outside.  We headed over for a hike that was a bit closer to what could be described as a walk in the open space near the big windmills to the west of Broomfield.  Gavin and I have actually ridden this same trail on mountain bikes a few years back, but I figured it would be better for us just to walk and see what we could find.  For a March day, it wasn't actually that cold but it was fairly windy which gave us a decent chill.

This picture is from about the point that we turned around.  I love this view of the Flatirons in the background and these guys were happy to give a quick pose to the camera.  I don't think we got to see any major wildlife on the trip but we did chase several birds and find some random assortment of bugs and things.  What great memories!
