Tuesday Raul had off from school, so we went to visit our friend Elizabeth who lives and works at Blooming Hill Farm in Blooming Grove on the other side of the Hudson.
Swung on trees, fed carrots to the rabbits Junior, Wobbles, Chocolate and Buttercup, ate some squash soup. Some of us fell in the creek.
