Pirate Party!

My friend, Jamie (who also happens to be my job-share partner :-)), had a super-fun pirate party recently! Her mom was in town and they spent several days decorating the house and making sure everyone had appropriate pirate attire! We stopped by to visit G-Ma and PawPaw since they live a few houses down from Jamie. Eric and I were just going to wear our regular clothes, but his parents had their costume box out and ready! Edee's little outfit was made by G-Ma more than 30 years ago! They snapped a family picture before we headed off to the party! We don't have many pics of us ALL together!

Jamie's mom, who her grandkids call Lee-Lee, had costumes for everyone! She even had one waiting for Reed!

Jamie's nephew, James, and Reed had a "sword" fight! They are just a few days apart in age!

Undoubtedly, the BEST part of the festitivities was the pirate treasure hunt! The pirates had spent many hours hiding clues and burying their treasure! They delivered a map and the kids had a blast exploring every inch of the yard, treehouse, and creek bed looking for the loot! When they found the HUGE treasure chest, they were not disappointed! It was FILLED with booty...jewels, stickers, candy, etc.!!



What a perfect way to kick off FALL!!
