A Weenie Roast and Watermelon

We roasted some hot dogs Saturday evening at my sister's house. They have a beautiful backyard with luscious green grass, citrus trees, and a cement block that is perfect for a fire pit and a late night weenie roast. The hot dogs were pretty tasty.

The girls, however, were much more interested in their slices of watermelon....


which proved to be quite messy.....

and brought out their "Smeagel side" as their fruit became "precious" to them.


They became so infatuated in fact, that when they were finished eating the red, they moved on to the green rind without a complaint.....

until mom had to take them away and replace them with a new slice.
It was a hard bargain but they soon realized....

it was better that way.

It is so funny you are having watermelon and having a BBQ everyone here is getting ready for ski season:) The girls are adorable as always. Sean would have freaked out if it was Keilei he hates it when she gets messy, it is so funny. I'm sure he is going to be forced to get over that here soon.
