Unboxing the coconut

At reading time the Sea Turtles talked about our coconut growing in a box. Way back on 6/6/12 we boxed our coconut hoping it would grow in to a coconut tree. So..... at Imagination time the Sea Turtles imagined what had happened to the coconut. We opened it.....unfortunately there were no sprouts. Luckily the milk and flesh were ok and more imagining was done before room 12 tasted!!!!!
