Mushroom hunting !!

Our friends Greg, Joanne and their 5 year old Lillibeth asked us to go mushroom hunting.. portini mushrooms..Up on our big ski mountain called Durango Mountain resort.We met them at 9:30 and hiked all the way up and then back down till 1:30.. This little three year old did not complain once.. was a delight to hike this big mountain with and the two girls together acted like best friends. What a fun and exciting adventure.. Check out our bounty!!
our start, look at that view, and yes, there is snow on the mountains from this big storm  that came through yesterday. Lillibeth is 5, and was so sweet with Lilja. 

Lilja found a big one. The big ones sometimes have bugs in them, so you are looking for little guys that are nice and round and white on the bottom. 

great job Lilja!! that is a mountain mushroom... I think ;)

love this picture, Lilja is looking mighty comfy in our arms there..

Looking is this was a good one, not really the bugs got to it already, but he was as big as her head!!


Momma, look strawberries... Lots of them!!

Lillibeth helping Lilja down the mountain.. It was pretty steep and rugged.

Our bounty, two big bags full and Lilja's basket.. What are we having this week for dinners?? Steak and Mushrooms, tortilini and mushroom sauce, mushroom soup and...
