A walk through the woods / De paseo por el monte

We live nearby beaches and mountains and we love to improvise outdoors walks. Yesterday we chose forest, so we prepared something to eat and a thermos filled with hot chocolate and got the guys into the car.

Tenemos campo y playa a tiro de piedra y nos encanta improvisar paseos al aire libre. Ayer tocó monte así que preparamos algo rápido de comer, llenamos un termo con chocolate caliente y subimos a los chicos al coche.

  1. Having to decide between a stroll on the beach, a hike in the mountains, or a walk through the forest - gee, that's too bad. :-) What a lovely walk on a beautiful day! Your dogs are gorgeous AND adorable (and clearly well-behaved!) And that picnic lunch - YUM!!!! Except for the fact I didn't get to tag along, it sounds like a perfect day! :-)

    1. It was a beautiful day, and although the sun shined brightly it was quite cold. I took the pictures without taking off my gloves.... Sam and Joe want to thank you for your lovely words but they secretly want to tell you that they are not always so quiet and calm as it looks like there....hihihihi ;D
      Kisses and hugs!
