Coyotes and their breakfast

For the past few days we have had a poor dead cow behind our house. Since we have state land behind us the ranchers sometimes rent the land and let their cows out back there. The other day Matt opened the blinds in our room and saw a dead cow. We had been calling the county and the state to have it removed before it started to smell and to be honest who wants to look at a dead cow! The past couple of nights the coyotes have discovered the cow and have been feasting upon it. The night before I was woken up by the stupid coyotes all thru the night as they ate and howled. Aargghhh!!! This morning as I was getting the kids ready for school I heard them making a ruckus outside which is unusual since it was sunny outside. I looked out the window and saw about 3 having breakfast on the cow. Eeeewwww!! (of course though I had to get pictures!) I called the kids upstairs and they totally loved watching wildlife in action. I know the pictures aren't the best cuz 1: I am not my brother the photographer and 2: the sun was still coming up and the lighting stunk. I did think it was kind of fun to share the pics though and hope you do to!

That is seriously the coolest thing ever! My kids would have loved that...until they realized that I wouldn't let them play outside. I have issues!
