I was so excited on Wednesday as we hooked up the pop up camper and got
ready to leave for our first mushroom foray. I couldn't wait to be
walking through the forest getting mud on my feet and smelling all the
good aromas that mother earth has to offer.
After setting up the camper my dad took both my little sister and me out
for a nice hike in order to get a feel for the land. It was a wonderful
walk; there were many pretty flowers and mushrooms of all shapes and sizes.
Thursday: Again we had a nice stomp through the woods.
In the afternoon we anxiously awaited the arrival of other club members. As
people arrived my little sister Mia greeted as many guests as she could.
Friday: What can I say about Friday except that I was upset that my
parents were not going to take us on the planned trip today.
Saturday: We did get a to go out and hunt for mushrooms. I did not get to
go to the tasting but I heard my parents say that everything they tried was
delicious. My sister and I did get to go to the bonfire for a while and we
met a lot of wonderful people.
As we headed home on Sunday, I was so tired from all the fun I had at
the 2o1o Foray that I slept all the way home and dreamt of all the great
things I did.
Thank you to everyone that helped make my first Foray
one to remember.
