A Pirate's Life for Me!

Yo-ho-ho and away we go!  

We had a blast at Dylan's birthday party!  

Here is my little pirate family, my whole heart!                                                  

I have to give a shout out to Uncle Craig and Aunt Carole for making the food table into a pirate ship!  What would I do without them, and my Cricut machine!

 We feasted on: Chocolate chip pirate cake, Blue jello pirate ships, Salty Sea Water, and the Catch of the Day: Goldfish!

 Every pirate wants to get Captain Hook!  What better way than with water balloons!  Our Captain Hook Splash Away Bullseye was a big hit!  Thanks Uncle Bob for filling up all those water balloons for our pirates!  Dylan finished off the 100 pack of balloons that evening after nap time!

Are you ready to "Walk Ye Plank?" Be careful not to fall to the deck below! A thank you to my husband for getting the plank and bullseye ready for the party!

 Find ye treasure! We were ready to dig for treasure.  This included: compass rings, bouncy balls, skeletons, beaded necklaces, gold coins, and whistles!

A pirate must be able to sail the open seas!  The life size pirate ship was amazing!  My dad, mom, and Daddy Vell worked so hard perfecting their idea for the party!  The ship had a steering wheel, cannon ball shooter, and sails!  My mom also made spy glasses that were too cool!   Let's sail the open seas and

search for Captain Hook!

       

After sailing the open seas, every pirate is ready for some grub!  We ate cake, opened presents, and played with our new loot!  The pirate baby even got into the festivities!

 After a big rest for this birthday pirate, Captain Daddy and Mommy presented the young shipmate with his new bike!  We got him a Strider Bike, recommended by a friend at church.  It is a different spin on learning to ride a bike.  We hope it is successful!  If you want to learn more about it for your young shipmate, visit: www.stridersports.com

 We have a family tradition, that on the Sunday closest to your birthday, you get to pick lunch.  Dylan picked Blue Coast Burrito and off we went!  He loves that place, and he eats really well!  

 I got several of my printables from this website: www.tatteredandinked.blogspot.com  She has lots of free printables for all different occasions!

Ahoy Mateys! We had so much fun celebrating our Dylan turning three!
