Grandma Valarie teaching the boys how to peel and suck sugar cane.

Boys taking their turn.

Jansen's really excited!

Jonathan taking his try at it.

Finally got the cane peeled some!

Big bite.

Mmmmmm. Delish-yus!

More please Grandma!

Jansen and his buddy Gordon.

Take a picture, Mommy!
Jansen and Granny didn't always see eye to eye. Granny fussed about Jansen's eating habits and his desire to be independent in lots of ways. Jansen still doesn't have his filter in place so there were many moments where he gave Granny "the look" that simply said "are you serious?"

Close up on "the look."

The boys really liked Grandma Valarie's dogs, George and Ginger. Jonathan was camera man for a while!

Real Bananas on the Real tree in the backyard!

Banana leaves are HUGE!!

Big enough for two of us to carry!

Taller than Jonathan!

More mangos. Can't leave those delicious things alone!

Busted!

You shouldn't be spying on my snacking Mama!

Uh-Oh! It's genetic!


Jonathan had the camera for a bit again!
