Aaaaaarrrrrrrggghhhhh Pirates!

Pirate Adam

How safe is that? Give a 4 year old a stick, blindfold him and tell him to swing it!
The whole pirate crew

Megan thinks she is just as big as the big kids.



Adam & Grant on the Pirate Challenge!


We had a wonderful day for Adam's birthday. Its crazy that he has better weather (warmer) than Megan at her birthday. As if you can't tell our theme was Pirates! Scott and I were up the night before making swords out of cardboard and duct tape - and nobody killed anyone the next day! I also made bandannas with a skull & crossbones and red sashes for everyone. I even found eye patches and earrings. Some kids wore them - others didn't. Our first game was the Pirate Challenge. Scott set up an obstacle course in the backyard. They loved it. Even after we had served cake and ice cream they left that to play on the obstacle course some more. Then we went on a scavenger hunt. I took pictures of different things around our yard and used those as clues since 99% of these kids can't read yet. Our treasure was the pinata. Everyone had fun with that. Then we had cake and ice cream. I made a pirate ship cake. All Adam wanted on it was a skull & crossbones. I've never put so much frosting on a cake before! When we finally got to the presents Adam did real good. He is learning to get the card first so we know who its from. When he opened Grammy's present, which was some superhero walkie-talkies, there was also some batteries in the bag. Adam pulled out the batteries and was sooooo excited! The look on his face was hilarious! It was a great day. I can't believe my baby is 4!

Happy Birthday (a little late) Adam! The party looks like it was fun. Boys just love pirates - or maybe anything that involves swords! Great cake! Kaden can't wait to see his friends again.
