Fresh and Fruity (Banana edition)

We have palm trees in our front yard and banana trees in our back yard! I may have mentioned this before, but the exciting thing this time is that we have bananas growing in our banana tree!!!

I had no idea that bananas have a flower thing that grows off of them! Who knew we'd learn so much in Kauai ;)

This is what Noah was doing while I was snapping pictures :)

The full view of our banana trees in the corner of our yard. If you look closely you can see the purple flower where the bananas are growing.

We haven't had any bananas ready to eat from our trees yet, but luckily our neighbor's tree just had some bananas ripe for picking! And since no one actually lives next door, guess who got the bananas :)  

Here's a portion of the bananas from our neighbor's tree

These bananas are the best bananas we have ever eaten!!! They are so good, in fact, they finally cured Noah of his banana phobia, whoohoo!  

We aren't entirely sure what happened but for some reason when Noah tried real bananas for the first time, the texture freaked him out! For two years, we could not get him to even take a small bite of banana! 

Now, we can't get him to stop eating them! I'm pretty sure he ate four in a row the other day :)

The "I love bananas" dance ;-)
