Coconut Fun

So I was very excited to see that we had a coconut in our produce basket last week. I had to wait several days before my dad was ready to get out the drill and let me try real coconut milk! I liked it but it was not what I expected. I thought it would taste like coconut but it tasted like leaves. My brother, Ladd, didn't like it at all! After we drank some we poured the rest out and it looked like water! It was not even white. I wonder why they call it milk? My dad let Ladd and I try hitting it with a hammer to crack it open. That was awesome! We hit it and hit it. Finally it broke. Then we got to eat the coconut. It was better than the milk. It was so fresh and yummy. I highly recommend trying fresh coconut.
