Saturday, June 18, 2011, Noah had a fantastic pirate birthday party. After reading a fun book called “Olive’s Pirate Party”, Noah decided he wanted one too! We had pirate decorations and lots of purple balloons (of course). We started the festivities with some pirate hat-making, followed by pirate challenges outside (on this gorgeous, sunny June morning), pirate cannon ball run (i.e. ball on spoon race!), pirate gold coin on sword relay race, and then a water balloon/cannon ball toss onto 2 chalk outlines of pirate ships.
After lunch we had the grand finale of the pirate treasure hunt, with the finding of the loot bags (video to come soon).
It was exhausting but tonnes of fun and the kids really got into the games. Enjoy pictures from the day!  Yarrr!
