Watermelon Tour

It was a nice day to head out to Tanaka Farms after church for their annual watermelon tour since we didn't have any plans today.  On our way out we called Rachee to join us and she did with her Dad.  Auntie Som & Uncle Alan also joined us.  Before we headed over we stopped at Togo's for some sandwiches to eat the farm since it's just about lunch time.
These two guys just love each other!  They are so silly together.  Such great Dads for their girls!

Mylee enjoying the wagon ride tour with Daddy.

Our first stop for some fresh farm tasters are the cherry tomatoes.  They were so yummy and sweet.  Mylee loved it and kept wanting more and more!  
My Makayla really enjoying her tomatoes also.  So good for her!  There were a few more stops for some other tasters like green onions, cilantro and some other herbs.  So fresh and yummy!  It all smelled so good!
Now for a little pit stop to get off the wagon and head under some tents for some more tasting, but one's that had to be chopped up.  The first round was zucchini's and then cucumbers which Makayla also loved.  My veggie girl!

Finally the watermelons!   Just what we've been waiting for!  Think the girls like them in this picture?  Choppin' away with her buddy Rachee.

A family photo with our watermelons!  One of my favorite fruits and for my girls too.  The love it!

Mak and her Auntie & Uncle all enjoying their watermelon.


Mylee tasting some yellow watermelon for the first time.  She enjoyed it alright but she enjoys ALL foods!  These melons have a slightly different consistency and taste.  We like the standard
red ones!
After all the tasters we had our chance to pick our own watermelon, but really we didn't pick them, they were already sitting in a pile for us, but the girls enjoyed choosing the perfect one to take home.

The girls are so proud of their melons!  Rachee helped Makayla pick hers out and really liked the smaller one for sure.  Thanks Rachee!  You took such great care of your buddy Mak!  

Everyone and their melons to take home!  Now it's time for the wagon ride back.
The tour is done and we stayed on the premises for some photos and then headed out since it was getting pretty hot out there.  We all had so much fun!  Thanks for all joining us!
