Aunt Leslie created a great summer activity plan for us and this week was fruit and veggies week. Yesterday for fruit and veggies week, we explored a watermelon and the kids had so much fun. We smelled it, touched it, guessed how many inches around it was, put cards in order of growth, cut string to measure the circumference, put it in water to see if it would sink or float and cut it up. I gave Ben and Heidi each an end of the watermelon in a pan with a spoon and butter knife and they spent a long time cutting it up. Ben kept saying, "Okay Heidi, now let's explore this". Kate explored the watermelon by eating it!
