Pirate Party for Bry

 I must admit I had so much fun planning a pirate birthday party for my boy turning seven!  This is the island cake.  We had an explosion of rootbeer that got the cake a bit wet, see the two spots on the island part?  It still tasted just fine!  After getting our gear on, scarves, eye patches, booty bags, and hats, we started off with a story called "How I became a pirate".  Then everyone got their booty bags ready for at each game they picked up more booty!  Below they are sword fighting, we had already walked the plank and everyone made it to the other side!  Bry is fighting N. who is a big gamer and was out of his comfort zone, but I'm pretty sure he had fun!  He did keep asking if we were going to play video game...  :)
 The children loved stomping on the balloons and it was really loud!
 The idea behind a seven year old's party is to keep the children non-stop busy!  We played a few games then took a time out for snacks, then played more games and then had cake and icecream.  Bryant was just starting to open his presents and in walked...

Captian Jack Sparrow!  Oh my gosh!  The children were so excited!  One little boy even picked up a sword and started to fight the Captain!  It was so funny!  Bryant was the only one still interested in his presents!  I got him for a group photo but, he was too busy to come back over for a photo with him and Jack!  Oh well!  I'm sure this party was a huge hit!  Yay!  Bryant's best friend Jon, showed up way late, but got to stay and play for the rest of the day!  Two happy little boys got to try out all of the new gifts!  It took them over an hour to put together a lego kit!

How fun! Love the cake. The root beer just looks like wet sand, maybe from a tidal wave? :)
