Mushrooms

This weekend we had a family adventure to the Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square, PA. Kennett Square is the self-proclaimed "Mushroom Capitol of the World". The area around the town provides greater than 50% of the mushrooms sold in the U.S.

We saw some very cute mushrooms:



Kristen went to the festival last year, and has been talking it up since. We met her and Gary there. Baby-O was very interested in her mushroom ice cream...


And, yes, I did mean mushroom ice cream. They had two flavors: Cream of Mushroom and Pumpkin Mushroom. Tom tried a scoop of each - I had peppermint chip. The mushroom wasn't bad, but I was happy with my decision.

Baby-O had fun with the mushrooms! Tom and I did too - we ate lots of delicious mushroom dishes and got to see a new place.


We have also found a new use for the clothes Baby-O is outgrowing at record pace....

cat torture!

Speaking of growing at a record pace, we took the baby to the doctor on Friday for his cold (he is fine, we just wanted to be sure). He now weighs in at a whopping 16lbs 14oz. That is four pounds in just one month. He really is growing like crazy!

I knew a guy at Millersville whose family owned a mushroom farm -- he lived in Kennett Square. Glad you enjoyed the festival, but really? Mushroom ice cream? Sounds not so good.
