One of Kaiya's favorite things to do this summer when we lived at my parent's house was to pick tomatoes with Papa. Everyday, the minute he walked in the door from work she would drag him outside to pick tomatoes. After we moved to Charlotte she talked about this constantly. One evening at dinner I asked her what her favorite thing to do was. She said, "Pick 'matos wit Papa!" I asked her if there was anything else and she said, "Go to Disney World!" Then Tony asked her which one she liked better. She crossed her arms, rolled her eyes back and said, "Hmmmm... lemme tink." We burst out laughing and never got an answer from her.
When my parents were in town over Thanksgiving she kept asking my dad if they could pick tomatoes. While she was napping one day he went out and got a container of cherry tomatoes at the grocery store and scattered them in our landscaping. When she woke up he told her that they needed to go on a hunt for tomatoes. She was so excited... and off they went:
It's hard to see in this picture, but the first thing she did was cram one in her mouth. For every 4 that she picked up, she ate one.

Your parents love your kids so much..what a fun time!
What a precious Papa and Mimi your children have!
I love the your child eats tomatoes!
This made me laugh...it's kind of an organic version of an easter egg hunt! :)
What is it about a Papa and Mimi (or in our house it's Papa and Grammy) that makes a child just light up....or is all that glowing coming from Papa and Mimi? My gues (and from my experience) the glow could be from the those grandparents! I love Kaiya stories! Your kids are adorable!
