Cannot say enough how much I love this picture and how it just captures summer and our afternoon so well.
National Watermelon day was actually August 3rd, but since we had a pretty busy week there was not much time to do this, so we celebrated a bit late this year. Both kids absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE watermelon. I just thought it would make it a special afternoon to have them be able to just bite into it outside and enjoy themselves. Lorelei did that without hesitation, but Makin just kept taking handfuls and eating them. :) We did have a book from the library we read a few weeks ago and then we also did a craft. Lorelei really enjoyed getting a chance to paint. :)
After our usual swim we dug into 1/4 of a huge watermelon. They devoured it and only had about a small bowl's worth left. It was simple and fun and now looking forward to a Watermelon Day every summer. :)
That's so neat! Looks like a yummy good time!
