Day 14: Coconut Tree
Question of the day was...

Today was special because the kids got to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste a real coconut! Everyone enjoyed the experience and all were surprised by the texture of the outside verses the inside of the coconut, the sharpness of the coconut shell, and the sound of the coconut milk whooshing around inside...
Our coconut cracked open and coconut "milk" in a bowl with tasting spoons...
