Pirate P-aar-ty

On Saturday, yes in the sweltering heat, had Ian's 5th Pirate Birthday Party.
After all the guests arrived, we had hot dogs, chips and fruit (I forgot to take a picture of the fruit holder, it was the watermelon shell carved into the shape of a pirate boat). When everyone was done eating we started with the games...

First on the list was a Treasure Hunt. The kids split into groups. We had the 2-3 year olds in one group, they had to find their treasure by looking at a picture to find the next clue. We split the 4,5 and 6 year olds into 2 groups, they had to follow a dotted map for their clues. Ty made the older kids work for their treasure...they had riddles that sent them down the street. The treasure consisted of eye patches, swords, sashes and head bands. After all the kids got their "gear" on we headed to the boats...

For a waterballoon fight!!! The kids seemed to have A lot of fun trying to hit the targets. (Ty and I made Pirate Boats out of cardboard.) And of course, what's a party without some BOOTY!!!

All of the kids got a chance to hit the pinata. Yeah, for sugar!!! We headed inside after the pinata for cake, ice cream and presents.

The cake didn't turn out the way I wanted, but it still looked good. Thanks to everyone who was able to help celebrate Ian's Birthday. We hope everyone had an AWESOME time!

The bows I made for the "girl pirates" Ian was so thoughtful and didn't think the girls wanted to look like boys (I made 9 bows total, but forgot to take a picture of them all)
