It is so fun to do things with your children that you remember so fondly doing when you were a kid. Eating watermelon was a summer tradition with my family. My brothers and sisters would all get a big quarter slice of a good juicy watermelon. Put it on newspaper and go to town. We all had different eating styles...I tried to be like my dad and eat mine very precisely by cutting little sections very smoothly and then making little squares and then picking up each piece with my fork. I tried...but then I would go crazy and just make a big ol mess. Then there was my brother Kyle..who hated watermelon, but sure loved to watch us eat it. It would usually be his idea to go and get one just so he could watch. One year we even planted watermelon seeds that grew big plants that looked like weeds and then Dad removed them from the front yard. It was fun to share these memories with my kiddos as I watched them and their "eating styles". Abigail was precise and Aaron tried but then hacked into it. And Allison...well, as you can see...she chose not to eat dinner...so poor thing...didn't get any watermelon :(.
