Claire and Sophie really dug a visit to Grandpa's Fresh Market Pumpkin Patch in Crabtree Oregon.
This is SOO classic! Hooma calls this "The Stink Eye" although it seems like my level of lame-itude has basically made this simply Claire's resting face.
Sophie is only two upper canines away from a full set of teeth!
Hiking through Cascadia Park--a strike out for mushrooms, but plenty of chestnuts and leaf storms.
Claire found our first Pacific Chanterelles of the season! Here she is at Siltcoos Lake.
Adam chronicles all of the varietals we see even if we don't take them as edibles.
The girls changed the settings on the camera and it's tragic that these are blurry because Adam was DELIGHTED by finding the largest porcini (King Bolete) he's ever discovered!
Love to see this hardworking guy so happy! His catch was worth about $15.
I found a matching porcini!
Claire spotted some Chanterelles up on a ledge so she had Daddy give her a lift and she scrambled around picking mushrooms. Adam was so proud he was brought to tears, lol.
A beautiful coral mushroom specimen at Cascadia.
The day's haul including two king boletes, blewits, sheep mushrooms and enough chanterelles for a fantastic Sunday dinner of Lavender Roast Chicken finished with a Chanterelle Cream Sauce!
Sliced and dried we had a good six ounces of prime bolete.
Momma and baby at Trunk or Treat in the Lebanon Stake.
I'm Sushi! Adam was Dr Venkman from Ghostbusters but he's behind the camera...
A fierce tiger.
Sophie was a "Fairy Princess Butterfly Ballerina" and Claire decided to be a "Cowgirl Magical Cat With A Tail." I bought them Rapunzel and Incredibles costumes respectively, but what do I know? Claire said if she wore her Incredibles jumpsuit then everyone would figure out who she really is :)
