You can either use actual pineapples (hollowed out from the bottom a bit to lighten them) for pins or make your own with 2-liter bottles that have a little sand or water inside to weigh them down against any breeze. These bottles could then be decorated in a variety of ways to look like pineapples. Three pins would work the best because coconuts are a lot smaller than normal sized bowling balls. Make sure to have some stationed at the other end of your 'alley' to reset the pins after each turn. Once the game is set up, let the fun begin. This could be a game played throughout the party for fun or you could hold a single elimination tournament until a single winner is established."<BR/><BR/>You could then give the hollowed out pineapples to Caylor at the end of the game.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562259038072016743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167147197113677750.post-69775008103491576082008-07-03T16:35:00.000-06:002008-07-03T16:35:00.000-06:00Oh glass apothecary or other jars with sand and se...Oh glass apothecary or other jars with sand and seashells in them.
