Morel and Microbrewery Festival in The Brick District Fulton, MO

We had great weather for the festival today. We had a really good time but they needed more tables and chairs and spread out a little more. The tents were on top each other and the lines were long. My husband and I checked out an antique store as well. We had a fun time in Fulton!

Bennett Springs Camping Trip

Finally, after a year of not camping, we had our first trip of the year! We had great weather, a little windy, so we never had a fire but beautiful weather. The dogs enjoyed it too. Although I don't think Jake, our pound puppy, likes to go. He would prefer to stay home I think. He cries a lot so we walk walk him often.

One of my husbands friends was camping with his grandson as well. We had a nice time visiting with them.This is a really nice park if you like to trout fish or kick back and relax, Bennett Spring State Park is a beautiful place!

Mushroom Season

The wonderful morel! A tasty mushroom found all over the state of Missouri in April, in the woods and even in yards, and so far my daughter has found one. We had a decent rain yesterday so we are hoping they have popped in our spots. I walked the woods today, with the boys, and didn't find any. But I brought my camera along with me and snapped a few photos of my flowers in my yard as well. I wish all the morel hunters good luck this Spring!
