Coconuts

When we decided that we were going to go to Mexico, and one day when Rich took Shayne to school, he said to her "what are you looking forward to the most?"  Shayne said the coconuts, coconut trees and drinking coconut milk.  So Rich was bound and determined to make it happen for her.  On the second day, he found a small coconut under a tree and Shayne was happy.... I thought that the search for coconuts was over.  Boy was I wrong.  

Shayne wouldn't let that small coconut down EVER!  She carried it with her around Mazatlan, it slept by the bed, etc.  Kind of crazy I know!  On the third day, we were one our way to another resort to swim in that pool and to try and go down town.  Well, Rich started talking to the bus driver and before I knew it, the bus driver agreed to speak to his gardener friend at the resort to get her a coconut so that she could drink the milk and take one home.  We knew that she wouldn't be able to take it back to CO, but Rich was determined to let her try the milk.  We had three HUGE coconuts waiting for us when we got back that day.  Rich took out his small knife, and cut of the top.... So, Shayne got to try coconut milk.  

AND LOVED IT! She was so excited for the coconuts that it deserved its own post!
