Nothing sounds better on a hot summer day than a juicy slice of watermelon. After an afternoon of splashing in the pool we refreshed ourselves (okay – gorged ourselves) on this tasty terror.

I found easy to follow step by step instructions here. I especially appreciated the pictures that accompanied each step. The whole process took less than 15 minutes. It was so easy (but don’t tell the kids that!)

The ooohhs and ahhhhs abounded as I proudly carried the catch of the day into the backyard. The kids were certain I slaved over this impressive snack. As you can see, they had no problem diving in.
