Cocoa Cottage

The kids go on a lot of field trips through the Prep School. This day they went to Cocoa Cottages and Levi and I joined them. They were shown the cocoa pods growing on the trees and also what they look like once they are opened up. Next they were brought plates of yummy, runny chocolate and they got to add some ingredients to their own chocolate treat. They could pick from nuts, coconut, raisins and bananas. After that we went up to Freshwater lake to enjoy the view and eat our sack lunches. After lunch we headed back to Cocoa Cottages to pick our plates of chocolate that had been chilled and the chocolate and toppings had firmed up. We waited until we got home to eat it. It was delicious.
