Watermelon Wednesday!

Braving the heat Colleen and I ventured out with the kids for a watermelon tour at the Tanaka Farm in Irvine. In the Spring we did the Strawberry tour and that was a big hit! (only hitch then was Addison got a minor rash from eating about 2 dozen strawberries) Mommy didn't know that babies don't eat strawberries until about 1 years old! But this time it was all about the watermelons ! Little did they know but I brought my own :)
From the moment we left our house Addison babbled in the back seat the whole ride over! It was like she knew who we were going to see and what were going to do. She even wore her favorite watermelon outfit for our outing! I love that in this picture she wasn't afraid to get a little dirty! Auntie Elisa would be so proud :)
Here are the kids getting ready for the wagon ride ! What a bunch of characters we have here! They are definitely communicating in their own little way! Dylann is even in on it :)

The wagon ride is around the 30 acre farm and along the way you stop and taste delicious fruits and vegetables! Here is Addison taking in the beauty of the farm! I think she is thinking of Uncle Chris and wishing he were here!

Sometimes it is pulling teeth to get these toddlers to eat vegetables but not today! They were all in !


At the end of the tour we got out of the wagon to cut up some farm fresh melon and watermelons! Messy little Addison and Davis loved their summer treat!

Threw it all Colleen was quite the trooper holding Dylann and chasing after Davis! It was hot, a little rainy, but definitely a ton of fun!
At the end of the tour we got to pick and take a watermelon home! Davis was quite the gentleman when it came to helping Addison. He held her hand and showed her where to go! Pointing out all the delicious watermelon! So cute :)

Here is the one Addison chose! Perfect size for her to carry and for Mommy to eat in one sitting! Just kidding we will definitely be eating this one as a family!
We finished the morning with giggles and kisses by the watermelon sign! We can't get enough of these two together!

Thank you Colleen, Davis, and Dylann for making today so much fun! I love watching you Colleen with the kids and it was great to catch up and to get tips for having two little ones! I love your advice and appreciate your honesty :) Can't wait until our next outing!

  1. You and Addison are always on the go! Looks like you all had such a fun day together. I'm looking forward to all the outings with Kayden. I'll definitely be asking you where all the hot spots are! By the time Kayden's ready to go play your next one will too!

  2. SO great to see you and Addi! I can't believe you did not get in trouble for smuggling that watermelon under your shirt! As always, we love to play with you and look forward to our next adventure with the Jones gals! XO
