WOW! I have been so insanely busy, I’ve not been able to do any blog posts and there’s been tons to blog about! This post took me over a week to finish and post, uploading about a pic an hour in the midst of the madness, but I wanted to get some pics up of my nephew’s pirate party last Friday!
It began with a treasure map at his house, that led through some clues (including a stop at my house down the street) and was to end up on the beach at the ‘ship.’ Since there was no ship, I went up in the 100 degree attic at church and dragged out the pirate ship from 2002 VBS! And put it on the beach as a surprise complete with treasure!
Kaptain Kid, Pirate Parker, and Long John Sara.
Pirate Parker grows a Piratey Beard!
In the end, it’s all about the cake!
Arrgh, me hearties! That thar be a mighty fine Pirate Lad with Pirate Beard – and a mighty fine ship he has, to boot!
Why, arr, if I weres one of those uncivilized pirates, I’d be awfully tempted, arr, ta steal that thar ship. And the booty!
Alas, I’s not. A gully-wrenched and weeply pirate am I, with no spine fer a back, so’s I won’t. It be a breach of me ethical conduct.
That is soooooo cool! What an awesome uncle you are.
