Watermelon Harvest

(I'm a little behind on these pictures, but it has been a long week in our household; Samantha is just about back to "feeling like herself," but now Sophia has the cold and it is in full-force).

This summer, my sister bought each of the girls their own little watermelon starter kit.  One of the kits was a dud and never amounted to anything.  The other one, though, took off from seed and was transplanted into a pot that we moved outside.  Several vines grew from it and the girls were able to harvest 4 little watermelons from it a couple of weeks ago.  They were small, but surprisingly sweet!

Waiting patiently for us to cut the fruits of their labor:

Sophia was practically salivating:

Sophia finally got to have a taste and she was so happy about that:

And Sam got her own taste too:

Of course, the watermelons were all gone that night.  But I am so grateful that they produced something for the girls.  They really are learning quite a bit about gardening and harvesting produce lately. 

Thanks again, Aunt Chele!
