Tanaka Farms

Ok, so this was one of my favorite things ever! My mom has been on vacation all week so we have been trying to do everything we possibly can with the kids. We took them to Tanaka Farms because they do these "Watermelon Tours" on a tractor. Tanaka Farms is near the house and is an all organic farm. We rushed to get ready do we could go on the 10:30 tour, before it got too hot. Not really knowing what to expect, I just hoped Jackson would like the tractor ride if nothing else. We loaded up the tractor and they took us to all the different areas of the farm. The best part....we got to sample fruits and vegetables straight out of the ground. First stop...green beans, tomatoes, and sweet corn.




After that we tried some carrots. Jordan just cut her first tooth so she enjoyed gnawing on one too.



We unloaded the tractor at one point to get out and sample different squashes, cucumbers, and of course...WATERMELON.




Did you know there is yellow watermelon? It is amazing and so much sweeter than red watermelon believe it or not!




Needless to say when the tour ended there was no need to go get lunch. Our bellies were stuffed full of fruits and veggies. I stocked up on a bunch too and came home and made Jordan quite a bit of baby food. I wish they had this place in Vegas!
