6th Annual Watermelon Social and seed spitting contest!

Another watermelon social, another FUN day! After a couple of mishaps: a rotten watermelon and no cherries available at the store! We were able to get another watermelon and had to use pumpkin seeds for the spitting contest, but everything turned out OK.

Pumpkin seeds are MUCH harder to spit!



But we still had a blast!
