Mushroom picking

A week before Thanksgiving we went mushroom picking. The drive was easy, and no one threw up :) which was awesome.

The weather was not that great, but most of us enjoyed foggy and rainy day.  We miss rain, and we don't get much rain here in California and our car was warm and cozy so our whole  drive was enjoyable.

It was raining almost none stop, and little ones only took a short walk in the forest, got few mushrooms and went back to a warm car. We were not prepare for rain, and didn't take much extra clothing, and rain jackets for everyone. I told kids if they get cold, or wet, or just want to stay in the car, they could.

It was beautiful! 

I did all the cutting, and putting in little piles. Boys would go after me, and pick all the mushrooms. I was soaking wet  after 1 hour. 

This child usually not happy with being wet and dirty. He enjoyed mushroom picking, and was following me everywhere.

DA didn't like it, and after about 5-6 mushrooms was done :) 

Princess went outside, fell few times, and was done

  My smiley boy did great job in the woods, but after 5 minutes was back in the car, he prefers warm and dry car :)

My biggest help, and he was picking mushrooms with out complaining, he would not go to the car.

He lasted the longest from all of our youngest boys. I asked him to go back to the car, he didn't want to leave.

 Was following me everywhere, my little protector! Told me"I will watch you, so no one will take you away"!

We got a lot of mushrooms, and my freezer is half way full!
