Into the Catskills for dude ranches and giant gnomes

Well it was way to cold and wind to walk across the Hudson pedestrian bridge
(and see the nice view of the Mid-Hudson bridge)

So we headed into the Catskills to Woodstock for brunch…

A mandatory quick stop at the big gnome…

Before heading to a dude ranch where we stayed the night. (Yes apparently there ARE quite a few dude ranches in the Catskills)
Here…Eli & Lachie found paradise by going rock climbing, horse riding, swimming, ice cream eating, etc (all in one afternoon!).
Here…mum & dad found paradise by the fire, with a drink and wifi.
All were very happy 🙂
