Watermelon Picking

It was 8:30am yesterday and Laila had just woken up, and Juliet was still sleeping soundly. I went to get Laila out of her crib and brought her into bed with me to snuggle. Just before 9:00 Juliet woke up, and as I was nursing her I was checking Facebook on my phone and I saw that my HB Stroller Strides group was heading to Tanaka Farms for a Watermelon tour and they were meeting at 10:00. At the same time, my friend Katy texted me to see if we were up for hanging out.  I called her real quick and said, "Hey, wanna be crazy and leave here in 15 minutes to go Watermelon picking?" She agreed, so I quickly got myself and both girls ready in 15 minutes (not an easy task!) and we headed to Irvine to Tanaka Farms.
