Pirate Party

Sam's Pirate Birthday Party saturday was a huge success.

Everyone had to "Walk the Plank" to get a pirate hat (or princess tiara).

Gammy made a cake.

And the kids played pin the eye-patch on the pirate (my artwork patterned after Captain Feathersword himself).

There was a treasure chest of goody bags sitting on the table during the party, but it disappeared while the kids were eating cake and ice cream. In it's place was a clue (a photograph of a hiding place nearby).

When the kids found that hiding place, there was another clue (photograph of another hiding place) ...

There were many clues, and near the end of the treasure hunt, Karina was running way ahead of the younger kids, with all the photos in her hand.

Then, in her haste, Karina started running towards a tree in the wrong direction. James figured out the right direction, and by the time Karina and Madeline caught up, Sam actually spotted the treasure chest first.
