Watermelon Day

I just know you LOVE all of these weird holidays I find. Today's is a real peach...well actually more like a real "melon." :)

It's the official Watermelon Day, and the girls and I decided what a better way to celebrate than a watermelon picnic!

After their naps (Gracie's version of a pretend nap), I lead them to the balcony where I had two plates of watermelon set up at the patio table.

Gracie thought this was very neat and went through 2 slices of watermelon. Emma liked the part about being outside and ever since she keeps going to the glass door and pointing outside.

Emma had tasted, and loved watermelon at my house on Tuesday; so I knew she would like the cold treat--especially on her incoming chompers.

We didn't stay long at our mini picnic as it is unbearably hot out there. I did of course snap several pictures.

So, Happy Watermelon Day to you all. Go and get one for dinner tonight!
