Arrrrr.....

What a fun evening!  One of Emilys little classmates had a pirate birthday party at Camels Back Park.  His momma and daddy dressed up accordingly...her as wench and he as Johnny Sparrow.  Most of the kiddos had on some type of pirate get up.  I need to make a mental note to self for themed parties dressing up is great fun.  Anyway a lot of thought went into this; they offered pulled pork, beans, salad etc, there was a treasure map that directed the kiddos to different locations around the park and at each spot they were given a little treasure with the real bounty being found at the end.  The first spot they had a choice of either a skull/crossbones scarf for the head or a crispy creme style pirate hat, from there it was onto trying to scoop a "snake" out of some blue goo, than up, up and up the hill and back down to get your hook, from there they ventured to a spot where they rec'd their eye patch, each time all the kids waited in anticipation on what the next treasure would be! The treasure box was filled with loot such as necklaces, gold gumballs, taffy, chocolate coins and rings.  Each little pirate could put 5 things into their goody bag, Miss Emily chose well.  She opted for 5 gold gumballs. She thought it was really funny because at first daddy thought they were bouncy balls. :)  Happy 5th birthday "J". Thanks for having us...Arrrrrrr......
