Mushrooms!

We've added outdoor nature studies to our schedule. Translated: We went Morel mushroom hunting! The girls and I have been twice, and we found a small mess of them. We gave a small mess to my parents, and I fried up the rest for Megan and me. Sami hasn't eaten any since she ate too many of them about five years ago and threw them up. Poor Sami...at least she still likes to hunt them.

I'm not the best at finding a patch, but luckily there is a small patch that grows behind our house. When we mushroom hunt, we do all kinds of nature studies. We find Dutchman's Breeches, Mayflowers, Jack in the Pulpit, snails, slugs, turkey tracks, deer tracks, creek creatures, hummingbird moths...it makes it hard to concentrate on the Morels!
