Hu’parents had a friend come to stay before Christmas, we got to have a mountain day out. We were supposed to stay the night out in an old hut but because id been poorly hu’mum said me and Bruno had to come home! We had a great day walking up to the rocks below Las Alegas, the clouds started to come in and hide our exist so hu’mum called it day for us and we headed back to the car and home.

I did find a patch of snow to have zoomies in and nearly do a headstand!

The next day we got to go and walk and meet hu’dad and his friend and James on their way out from the mountains. On our drive up to meet them we got to see a Golden Eagle, wow it was huge.

And when we got back to the car we got to cool off in the acequia.
