Watermelon and Strawberry Lemonade

My friend Ann Marie just sent me this recipe, which I am so going to make this weekend after I buy a watermelon. Wish I had gotten the email before I went to Trader Joes (I always seem to have luck picking a good watermelon from them) this morning. Doesn't this sound like the perfect summer drink?

8 cups cubed watermelon
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 c. sugar
2 cups water

Combine in blender. Blend until smooth
