Alejandro Lovato-Herrera, age 7, and Salamon (Skippy) Lovato-Herrera, 10 months, cool off at Cochiti Lake. Alex will be in second grade this fall at Turquoise Trail Elementary School. He loves math, science and video games. Skippy loves to laugh at the cats while they play, and likes to pull himself up to a standing position. His favorite words are “dada,” “nana” and “dude.” Photo © Ana June.
