Rachel, Hugo, the girls, and I had a picnic on the grounds of the Mills Mansion today. It was hot and muggy but, sitting beneath the tall trees and gazing out over the Hudson River made the uncomfortableness of the afternoon fade away. We watched Canadian geese toddle about on the shore with their young and took turns walking/running with Hugo down to the waters edge to get a closer look. There were a lot of geese droppings down there. The shore line was a complete mine field really, which delighted Hugo all the more! I'd like to see how many of the historic houses we can visit before the season ends this year. No kiddos or strollers allowed indoors for the tours which is sad... but hey! entrance into the grounds is free.
Can you imagine attending a party here? Or being invited for an extended stay sleep over?
*Hugo thought the statues were full of bad people, frozen by Mr Freeze. Ahhhhh... I'm thinkn' we're in need of a trip to the Met.
