This Ain't No Tomato

Josh started growing tomatoes, but has ended up with one lone cantaloupe, which I personally think is quite funny. Every time I look at it, I want to chuckle. He started growing tomatoes back in March/April, but we never got any fruit. We got beautiful blossoms, but sadly, no tomatoes. I finally made him throw out the plants because Eli loved to dig in the dirt, and it was making a big mess on the balcony (that he would also track into my house).

However, we started getting this weird plant growing, and for the longest time, we didn't know what it was. Josh said he had taken some of the seeds from a store-bought cantaloupe and planted them just for fun. After researching it online, we discovered that was the plant that was growing. It too had lots of blossoms that just fell off, but one has managed to make it--to my great surprise! I personally hate cantaloupe, but Josh and Eli like it, and it has been amusing to watch this thing grow since Josh's intention was to grow tomatoes (and peppers) but certainly not cantaloupe.

Train Museum

It's been a while since we went to the train museum (Labor Day Weekend), but Josh says I should still post the pictures. We did have a lot of fun, especially Eli! He kept saying, "All Aboard!" In fact, it was very interesting going inside the train cars and seeing how people used to travel. Okay, I know people still travel that way, but it's not as common anymore. Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

Eli was not ready to go home. I think he could have stayed there all day. In fact, I had to laugh when I observed all the other families that were there. Almost every family had a child that was crying when they left, and the parents were assuring them that they would come back another time. :-)
