Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy


One thing that is great about summertime, is all of the wonderful fruits that are in season.  Not only are they in season, but they are a lot more affordable too.  I went to our local farmer's market type store today called Sprout's and picked up some delicious fruits.  Lately I have been cutting up watermelon & cantaloupe into bite size pieces & putting them in plastic cups for my kids to eat.  It makes it a fun & easy snack that they can help themselves to.  So, here are some of the wonderful fruits I picked out today:

Cantaloupe:

Grapes:

Strawberries:

Blueberries:

Raspberries:

Blackberries:


I decided to take all of the fruits:

& make a fruit salad Yummy Yummy!!

I then took scoops of the fruit salad & filled up some plastic cups:

Topped the cups with some plastic wrap & a rubber band:

Then stuck them in the fridge for when the kids are ready for a nice snack.

I also picked up some apples, bananas, cherries, plums, & nectarines that look fabulous as well.  I may turn them into a fruit salad this week too.
