Tomato Cricket

We moved into our current house when Kayleigh was 2, the next summer we planted tomatoes and vegetable in a vege patch where our carport now is. The vegetables grew really well there and the tomatoes, Terence grew them up and over several trelleses. Over time the tomatoes were ripening beautifully, it looked as we were going to get a great crop that year....then...........

Kayleigh and Natassja got a small cricket set for Christmas with a bat and a set of stumps. They didn't really get the game of cricket, but they got the idea of hitting round balls with the cricket bat. One day Terence came outside to find tomatoes all over the vegetable patch, and thought 'thats weird'. We originally thought it must have been birds or something until the next day we walked around the corner of the house to find Kayleigh, cricket stump in hand, practising her ball skills on the tomatoes. as soon as she saw Terence, she dropped the stump and bolted. Alas it was too late for for poor tomatoes :(
