Lucy: Mom went to the grocery and bought us watermelon. 
Xena: We were hoping real hard it was for us, cause it looked sooooo gooooood!!!
Lucy: We got to play catch. I am a very experienced catcher.
Xena is still learning, so I got to eat what she missed.
Xena: But Mommy kept throwing watermelon at, er, to me, and eventually I caught some.
Lucy: I mostly caught, but once in a while Mom didn’t make a good throw, so Xena got to eat that. We had so much fun, and Mom laughed and laughed while she stuffed her face ate some watermelon too while throwing it at to us..
Xena: After we were all done making a mess catching and eating watermelon Mommy had to get out a bucket and mop the floor, but she said it was worth it. Then she had her “special” watermelon treat. We didn’t get any.
Lucy and Xena: It’s still summer as long as there is watermelon!

Thanks, Miss Monika, but balls just hit me in the face and bounce off. I don’t even think about catching them. Lucy
It’s food. You bet I’m gonna keep practicing and watching the Luce Goose. Xena

Keep the mop out. Watermelon is a diuretic.

That sounds like an awful lot of fun, Granny, and no one had to mop the beach when you were done, either.

The two of you catching/almost catching watermelon bites took me back to the 50& 60’s and the grand food fights we used to have at the beach. We saved the watermelon but threw the potato salad and baked beans! Now you know……..I was really a hippy.

Lexi was the expert catcher. She told me she played ball only to refine her skills at catching food. ❤ ~Xena
