Pirate Party!


Quinten drew and I frosted. This a treasure map with an X in the upper corner, a key, a treasure chest and a skull face.


Jumping in the water fountains!


Ahoy Mateys!


Working together to pull a rope.


Quinten is listening so intently. I love how he crossed his legs.


Quinten's 5th birthday was filled with pirates, Star Wars and trains. We went through the Santa Maria which is a replica of the ship Christopher Columbus sailed to the new world. To four and five year old boys, this was a pirate ship. Rather than give gift bags, I found pirate hats and eye patches for them to wear. At one point a teenager from another group said "I am so glad those boys were here. It made the trip so much more interesting"! They were so stinking cute with their enthusiasm. We also ventured down to the new Columbus Commons and played in the water. Later that day we celebrated with family and cake. Uncle Steve and Aunt Alicia gave him a Darth Vader light saber which has sent him over the moon. I will try to upload the video which is hilarious!
