Back in the Tropics

We're back in the tropics and the fruit abounds. It's so amazing to live in a place where tropical fruits grow literally right outside our door. When we first moved here in 2006, Dennis planted some pineapple plants using the tops of some pineapples we bought to eat.
We are now seeing the "fruit" of his labors.

~~~Here's Elisabeth standing in our Pineapple Patch.

Dennis picks our first home grown pineapple.

Caleb separates the top from the fruit for us.

Nathanael shows us what we'll plant again so that we can have even more pineapple plants.

Hannah thinks she'll take a whack at cutting the pineapple.

I decide to help her out so that we don't lose any fingers in the process.

We all enjoy the sweet, delicious taste of a freshly picked pineapple.
