Watermelon picking

Every Monday that Chris and I are at work, Dave spends the day with his grandparents. Beegee (Chris's mom), Pies(Chris's dad) Wo(Chris's sister..her real name is Noel) and Munc(Chris's brother...his real name is Mike) all take turns helping to take care of him. Beegee and Wo are trying to grow fruit and vegetables this summer in their garden. In this picture Dave is holding a small pea-sized watermelon. It was trying to grow, but Dave decided to pick it yesterday thinking that it was perfectly ripe. He looks so proud of himself doesn't he?! The funny part to this story is that my Dad who Dave calls Pop did the same exact thing to his Dad when he was about Dave's age. It must have been in his genes to pick that very first tiny watermelon to come on the vine!
