In the picturesque town of Lumberton, an extraordinary moment was captured by local resident Martin Davis, featuring his adorable triplet children – Michael, Macie, and Mathieu – nestled comfortably inside an enormous watermelon weighing a staggering 175 pounds. This charming photoshoot, orchestrated on August 5th, was made possible with the help of their mother, Vickie Jones.
Martin Davis shared that he used to cultivate large watermelons, but for the past eight or nine years, he had put this hobby aside. However, everything changed when he found out he was going to have children; suddenly, the motivation to revive his old passion was reignited.
The triplets were born on March 28, each arriving within moments of each other, while the watermelon seeds were planted at the beginning of April. The timing of their births and the watermelon planting created a wonderful coincidence that led to this unique photoshoot idea.
Among the watermelons that sprouted, the one used for the photo session turned out to be the largest Davis had ever grown. To confirm the impressive weight of the gargantuan crop, he first weighed it on a bathroom scale before taking it to a certified weighing machine.
The heartwarming photos of Michael, Macie, and Mathieu inside the 175-pound watermelon have captured the hearts of many in Lumberton and beyond. It’s a delightful reminder of the joy and creativity that can bloom when cherished family moments are paired with the wonders of nature.
