More Coco’-lanterns

This week Milan and I painted coconuts and created our own island style versions of Halloween jack-o-lanterns or coco'-lanterns.  We used the coconuts we found on the beach over the weekend and some non-toxic, washable finger paint.  It was a nice change to finger paint on something other then paper, and making a big mess on the deck was an added bonus!  The best part was watching the coconuts roll everywhere when she discovered that they were easier to roll then to carry.  Thankfully, it all washed away quite easily.  These are our masterpieces displayed in our dining room (it's outdoors).

Birthday Wishes & Coconuts

We celebrated George's birthday on Sunday and it was a spectacular day.  We got him a few gifts but I think his favorite was his new guitar pick
After breakfast, birthday gifts & cheers we headed straight to the beach.  The weather was gorgeous.  The best part of being on St. John off season is that the weather is great with very few people on island to share it with.  Almost as if we had the beach all to ourselves.
