A perfect day for some watermelon

 I don't know that I can even begin to describe how happy we are that spring/summer is finally here!  It has been a Loooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng winter and I am not even the least bit sad to see it go.    
 There are so many delicious fruits in season, we can barely get enough.  We are no strangers to the produce section at Costco.  (Yes we buy our fruit in bulk and none goes to waste.... we can barely make it through the toilet paper, but fruit has been another story!)
 And today we cut into our first watermelon of the season.  I know all 3 girls have eaten it before but I think when it has been an extended length of time since you've eaten a certain type of food, you feel as though you have discovered something new all over again!
 So this afternoon, we have all enjoyed our fair share of watermelon and I'm not sure the girls will be willing to eat anything else for dinner!





So again, farewell old man winter.  We are not sad to see you go.  We love our sun kissed cheeks, the soft grass between our toes, hours and hours outside (without the freezing of any small limbs or hours it takes to prepare in 90 layers of clothes), and today..... we love watermelon!
