Adventure on the High Seas!!!
The other day we wanted to take a nice little cruise....We were told Ella had to stay home because of
weight issues with the ship...
When we got aboard we found out our CAPTAINwas a PIRATE... a little unnerving at best!
He made us all listen up...
And if we didn't know how to wear a life vest hewould throw us OVERBOARD!!!
(we weren't scared though - we know life vests...)
When we got out on the High Seas we discovered a stow-away!Not ONLY did she exceed the weight limit, but she hadn't PAID
to come on board either!!!
The captain said she would have to walk the plank!(but first things first...)
Since we were on HIS ship, we must ALL become pirates!
The first thing you need to be a pirate is a tattoo!
All the little pirates got an anchor for the ship's symbol.And then he went looking for all the bearded ladies...
and he FOUND some too!
I knew I'd be in trouble if I forgot to shave!DARN!
A couple of characters if EVER there were some!Once we had alllllll become proper pirates, it was time to
search for treasure....
We thought we found some of the port bow...
But it turned out to be instructions for reading the treasure map!(very important data!)
And so the hunt continues....
When we finally FOUND the treasure it was in the hands(or on the boat) of another Scallyway Pirate... and we had
to FIGHT for it! The battle was bloody! (or WET anyway)
But at last, the treasure chest was in OUR possession!!!(and we would NEVER let it go!)
1.) What's IN there?2.) OPEN it!!!
3.) Just a little peek...
4.) Pirate Luz saw a RING in there!
At last....
The chest is OPEN and there is treasure for everyone!!!
Now the pirates want to party... and music is needed... sowe must JUMP on deck to wake the prisoners below... so
they can SING for us!
Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirates Life for MEEE!!!
With the prisoners singing at the top of their lungs, the dancing began...
Pirate Mommy lead the wee pirates in the line dancearound to the
LIMBO POLE!!!Gooooooo Pirate Mommy!!!
And then she held the pole so the Captain could celebratetoo!
GREAT fun was had by all!!!
And all pirates earned their patch!And WHAT became of the elephant???
Well... without the help of her Super Sprayer Trunk wemight NEVER have won the treasure! So the Captain
forgave her and set her free!!! YAY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this adventure mOre than makes up for my somewhat lacking posts of late! Today is very gray and cool ... Amanda picked just the right day to go home! But they will be back on Saturday with Mathew & Carol too and we will all enjoy SUNFEST together -- which is a HUGE end of the summer party held here in Ocean City every year! This will be our first time attending though... it is sure to be fun! (even if the weather is still planning to be a bit cool...)
Today Mom & I are doing "ketchup" stuff.... we got our nails done, went to the car wash, grocery shopped... things like that. We found out that on average a female person between the ages of 4 and 77 uses 1.5 rolls of Super Size toilet paper in ONE week!
So... now that I've posted, I'm off to catch up with some more of you! :)

Now thsat was fun.
So glad that Ella didn't have to walk the plank. You just have to get stricter with her.
Pirate Lutz seemed to have a great time.

What a great adventure! And what on earth happened to your mil's hair...easy to care for and she probably doesn't care at all. Bet is is a lot cooler.
What a fun day!
btw-my kids are back in their home after Ike. And not much damage, I don't think. Just found out the land line is working.

What fun! I don't know if Ella is going to like Hawaii or not. I have never seen a pirate here.
