Watermelon, Sweet Watermelon

I drove past our Farmer's Market today (ok, let me clarify this since it was a topic at the reunion. Our 'Farmers Market' consists of an old man and a truck. I'll try to take a picture. Only today it was 2 teenagers and a truck. And the teen that loaded my melon didn't have on any shoes. I've learned to just accept things in Mississippi). Anyway, so I drove past and saw they had a bunch of watermelons. Amy was SO excited. Just like Aunt Lynn she loves watermelon and desperately wanted one. I let her pick it out, and of course it was the biggest one. Anyone want to come over for watermelon? We have plenty.....

Amy kept playing with it and it was so huge and heavy that I knew it was a juicy one. But I told her if it broke then I would be really mad and she would cry at how mad I got. Can you imagine this thing all over the kitchen floor????? So she opted to hug it instead.

Don't let the picture fool you, the side is to the camera. 

So we cut it open and just like I thought, it split while I was cutting it. 

That's the sign of a good one!  

Ummmm.... split again!!

So, we all dove in.

 I told Amy she could have as much as she wanted, anytime she wanted.

 She seemed excited about that. 

When Will is done with something he throws it onto the floor. So some of it did end up on the floor after all. But the floor probably did need mopping, so I guess it's ok.

Aunt Lynn- I did want to bring you one last week, but they weren't quite ready yet when we left. I'm sorry! Plus, I have a feeling in all of our driving it would have split. As much as I didn't want watermelon all over my kitchen floor, I really don't want it all over my trunk!! So we'll just enjoy it for you!
