magic beans

Today we found "magic" beans.


At least Peter hopes that they will grow a large beanstalk.
(Can you guess what book we've been reading a lot of?)

Really, they are just amazing pink and purple beans in grandma and grandpa's backyard. 

Which, for our five year old, Hannah, whose favorite colors are pink and purple -
what could be better?


They worked tirelessly retrieving these beans from the pods
and delighting over every big one they found.
 
The plant responsible for these awesome beans. 


Part of our stash of what is formally known as Scarlet Runner Beans.


Unfortunately, I learned they turn grey when you cook them.
But we are taking some home to plant our own beanstalk.

I wonder what will happen...
