Cucumbers

When Grandma Julie was moving into the neighborhood, she really wanted to have a garden and have the Hayden and Brody learn how to garden and what it takes to grow your own food. Her backyard is so cool with raised gardens and fruit and nut trees.

Hayden and Brody both picked what food they wanted and they helped plant it. Although Grandma has done most of the work, Hayden sure is proud of "his" cucumber. This one got missed under one of the huge leaves. Imagine the surprise to find this huge cucumber.
This has been Hayden's absolutely favorite toy this week. He has carried it around, measured it against everything and shows everyone!
He even took these into class to show the comparison between the two huge ones he grew vs. a normal size cucumber that was bought at the store. The kids at school oooh'd and aaah'd over it and he was a happy boy!
I have to say that I am amazed myself. Fun entertainment at our house!
