Boys eating watermelon...

Ah the sweetness of summer... swimming, long days, bbq's, and of course the slurping of a fresh piece of watermelon. The seedless still aren't quite as sweet as the good-old-fashioned-pre-genetic-engineering-seeded type, but they've gotten better in recent years, and the convenience sure is worth it...

So after cutting up a watermelon, along the long side, first in half, then quarters, then eigths, Ilan proclaimed that he could eat a whole piece (which was twice the size of his head). So I did what any proud father would. I let him try. As usual, he surprised the heck out of me with his appetite, perseverance, and just all-around coolness. Aaron also did pretty well on his slice, and I devoured mine, but there's nothing unusual about that...

Slurping video below. Photos follow in the next post...



The warriors start the battle...

Aaron barely got started, and asked me to take over (and I obliged).
