While we were geocaching, Conary found a coconut and he wanted to use it. By 7:30 am the next day he was on the Internet looking for a recipe to use the coconut. After finding a recipe, Conary, Uncle Mark and Liam had to figure out how to open the coconut. They opened it quicker then I thought and here they are exploring the inside. That's Liam's hand reaching up to take a look.
By 9:00 am Conary was chopping pineapple, mango, lemons, limes, bananas and his coconut. Later he added a papaya to the mix. He chopped and cleaned everything himself and he was very careful to make sure Liam didn't get close to the knife. 
Before dinner Conary started his coconut sauce, his sister Kelsey wanted to help Conary with the recipe. He made sure to follow the recipe exactly. Notice he is reading the recipe in this picture.
With a little help from Uncle Jesper to use a vanilla bean, Conary started to boil his coconut sauce. The recipe was for grilled tropical fruit with coconut sauce, we decided to serve all of this over ice cream. It was good! Now how many 10 year olds do you know that would do all of this just because they found a coconut on the ground!?! And to Conary...this recipe was delicious I can't wait to see you again so you can try another recipe with us.

Love to hear that children are still interested in other things other then video games and computers. He looks to be very proud of himself for his accomplishment.
Love,
