Tomatoes, Smiles, Cajun Dancing, & a Picnic


If you remember, about a month ago Paw-Paw Mike and I planted a garden in his and Grangie's backyard.  Our plants have been growing a lot!  I've had two small green cherry tomatoes on one vine for a few weeks now, and I've been checking them every day!  Well, Paw-Paw Mike and Grangie were at their Mississippi River Bridge House last weekend, and when Mommy went to check on things for them, she found that both my tomatoes were bright red!  She didn't tell me, but she sent them a picture from their phone.  A few hours later, they showed up in Baton Rouge.  Paw-Paw Mike said he had to be there for me to pick the tomatoes!!!  So Mommy and Daddy took me to their house.  Grangie told me I should check my plants, so I said sure.


That's when I spotted the bright green tomatoes.  Not one, but two of them!


They said it was okay, so I bent down to pick them each off of the plant, one at a time.

 Yay!  Two tomatoes!


Paw-Paw Mike and I grew them!


I took the first bite!  He let me eat them both. I told him when the bigs ones get red, I'm going to share them with him.


These were the best tomatoes ever!


Meanwhile, Madeline was just sitting around being her pretty little self.  So of course, Mommy took a few pictures!





Then I needed to check on the bird feeders to make sure they all had enough food for the birds.


Later on, Uncle Donald and Aunt Barbara showed up.


We all went to eat dinner together.  Madeline danced her first Cajun dance with her Parin! 


 The next day, I helped Grangie and Paw-Paw Mike with a lot of work in their yard.  We planted some more stuff and put in a fountain.  And we got "Nemo fish" for the fountain!  After all that work, Paw-Paw Mike grilled some hamburgers and hot dogs.  It was so pretty and breezy outside, we had a picnic!




It sure was a gorgeous fun weekend!
