Watermelon season has arrived!

These photos don’t do it justice. Driving by this part of town is just incredible. The hills are covered in piled up huge watermelons. And every fruit stand is packed with them.

We were pretty sure the watermelon would be a hit with the kids… here are a few pictures and videos to prove! I love it when cameras catch funny faces! [...]
