This is the first  watermelon we have been able to grow.  Every spring that we have been married we have planted a garden for the garden fresh tomatoes, and each year we have thrown a watermelon plant in just in case.

Well this is the first year that we actually got watermelons to grow!  I thought I was the most excited about it, it turns out Chase was so excited he couldn't help but pick it......even though it was still a little small.

O.k., REALLY small! 

He insisted that we eat it because afterall, we had waiting all summer for it to "get a big belly".  Apparently this was big enough for Chase.


So we cut it open and ate it.  Chase had it in his mouth and back out so fast that I didn't even get a picture of it.

Maybe next year........

One of the ways we kept an extremely energetic 2 year old busy this summer.

.... and maybe his mom and dad as well..... but there are no pictures of that :)

And this is what Brody did while we had our fun.
