one of the things we like to do with the kids is to find a new place to explore......our new favorite spot is Naumkeag...an old mansion in Stockbridge owned by the Choate family.....once a summer "cottage."
this is a view of the forty-four room shingle style house with a tiered peony garden.
this is a view from one of the gardens looking down on one of the fountains....one which cooper tried walking into with his splash boots! This poor couple was trying to have a peaceful time....until we came along!
i couldn't get over this foliage we spotted on the bank of a brook.
my darling little boy is turning into a goofball!
this part was amazing....a small fountain of water was running down this path of bricks and then through the bushes it drops/cascades down a number of fountains and you can follow it all the way down.....Cooper loved this!
we plan on going back....without the kids....to tour the house.....and have a picnic. The kids go back this weekend for a gardening class.
