Too soon!

Cannon LOVES watermelon! It is pretty much the only fruit I can get him to eat! So this year we decided to plant some watermelon in our garden. Cannon has taken good care of his watermelon checking on them regularly to make sure they are growing well, showing them to grandma and his friends and counting them as they grow from little blooms to the real deal. I wasn't even sure they would grow but sure enough we have 4 nice and plump beauties just like this...

so we decided to pick one and have it with our dinner! Cannon was so excited and I must say there is something very satisfying about bringing in the fruits of your labor, that is until this...

Apparently we picked our melon a little too early!

Good thing we have 3 more! I think I will let them ripen a little longer! :)

That is such a sad face. Our watermelon didn't turn out at all so I will cross my fingers for you other three!!!!!
