WARNING LAND LOVERS: Be prepared for LOTS AND LOTS of pirate pictures!
For Ava's Birthday this year we went a little overboard with a way fun pirate party. Our family and a few friends and neighbors were there to help celebrate. Thanks all of you for coming and making it a great time.
As each child arrived, we dressed them like pirates.....complete with eye patches, swords, hooks, and even mustaches! The kids loved playing the part.
This is my favorite pic of Captain birthday girl.....just had to throw it in.
The kids weren't the only ones who went pirate crazy.....Grandpa Spencer also joined in the fun. He makes a great pirate, don't you think?
Here's a group pic of all the little pirates making their scariest pirate faces!
I had a Martha Stewart moment ( a first for me) and decided to make a pirate birthday cake.
We ate awesome pirate delicacies including yummy barnicles, sea shell stew, sea weed, frogs eggs, and jelly fish. And we washed it all down with shark's blood (red cool aid) and fresh sea water (blue Gatorade)
What a cute pirate!
The kids had a great time playing sink the pirate ship.
If their pirate ship was sunk, they had to walk the plank!.....sorry guys.
Spence led the kids on a treacherous treasure hunt.
Ava got a little tired half way through and Dad had to carry her out.
YES AVA....please stop asking......you can open your presents now!
At the end of the evening Mom and Dad were worn right out! Ava, on the other hand, was bright eyed and bushy tailed. I think she could have partied all night. She rode home with a great big smile and a mouth full of candy.
Happy 4th Birthday Ava!

The cake was a masterpiece!!! My granddaughters think the "P" word is "Princess." I love that Ava went with "Pirates!"
Such cute girls!!! I am glad you found my blog, it's fun to stay in touch. We definitely have memories from the good old days! I remember when we went on a double date to the zoo with one of your patient's that was in a wheelchair. We went on lots of double dates together. Do you still work as a nurse at all? Where do you guys live now?
Looks like a fun party, gotta love it that Ava wants a pirate party and not some princess party. Justin's Grandpa Bob got a big kick out of Grandpa Spencer dressed up like a pirate!
