There is one activity that I remember from my childhood that I find myself doing as a mother. Occasionally my mom would buy something odd from the produce section, (starfruit, persimmon, coconut...), and we'd all get to try it. Picture one mom with four little girls sharing one persimmon. Sometimes it was tasty and other times it was just strange but for some reason I really liked when she did this.
I find myself perusing the produce section when we are all in a great mood and I want my kids to have an interesting experience. I've tried coconuts, blood oranges, kippered snacks, star fruit..... I think I am more excited about it than the kids. Either way, I hope they have fun trying new things!

That sounds like a good idea. We bought a different kind of pear the other day. Not as exciting as star fruit or something, but Zoie liked it. :)
I bet your mom was just as excited to have you girls try those new things just as much as you are now.
