We had so much fun celebrating Andrew's birthday with his friends. He decided he wanted to have a pirate party in the backyard, with the plan for Daddy to convert our play set into a "pirate ship". It was a success! Andrew's buddies came in their pirate gear (and we supplied some extra!) and they joined in on all the fun! We put on pirate tattoos, made & decorated pirate hats, played "Pin the Parrot on the Pirate" and played on the pirate ship. It was cute to see the boys "cut loose" - some even took off their shirts for better play!

The Pirate Ship! Daddy did a great job! He added sails, ropes and a pirate flag. Then, he completed it with buried treasure in the sand underneath, walk the plank, and a rope swing over a pool of water!

The boys tossed the crocodile into the pool to make the swinging a little more adventurous!
Pirate cupcakes with chocolate gold coins... yum!
my sweet birthday boy!
Andrew said this was his favorite part of the party - sitting with his buddies, eating cupcakes and telling jokes :)
We ended the party with a treasure hunt. Everyone loved solving the riddles and finding the next clue... the last clue led to a treasure chest pinata filled with candy! Certainly a fun way to close a pirate party!
What fun we had with these cute pirates!
