Before we left for North Carolina, we made one last trip to Amanda’s family farm with Ava.  We were especially excited to be visiting because we’re in the heart of morel season and Mike had never been mushroom hunting!

Ava wasn’t very interested in morels, but she loved traipsing around in the woods and “hunting” for creatures in the fields.  She flushed out a pheasant, found herself a delectable mouse, and decided to pamper herself with eau-de-poop when she found a nice, fresh pile that a cow had left behind.

We were pretty successful hunters and came home with bags of mushrooms. Yum! Even Ava thought they were tasty.
