Mushroom Hunting

Sunday we headed up north to look for mushrooms. It was so nice to just walk around the woods and be away from everything. I love our little family excursions! My dad headed up with us. We could have gone all day but the kids got sick of it after the first couple of hours. I was bummed they didn't want to play in the woods anymore because I was really enjoying myself. We found about 2 dozen (more like my dad found most). I kept a few and they were so good when I finally ate them!!!

We got to see a few wood cocks. We could walk right up on them which was cool for the kids to see. There was one I got a foot away from and was able to get a few cool pictures of and then she had two babies with her. I love being outdoors, you never know what you will see.




Mason and Emily were constantly falling down hence the picture with both on the ground. My dad nicknamed Emily "crash"!

It is in the Wierenga blood to always be on the ground. I am blaming them! :)
