More Pirate Adventures.....

So, we boarded a "real" pirate ship on our last day in Florida. We went all over the bay looking for buried treasure. Here are Amanda and Ben holding the smallest pirate.
The ship had pirates all over the place. Here they are sporting their new pirate tatoos that Ben got them. The one on Jackson's arm still isn't off yet!
To be a real pirate, you have to have a moustache and/or beard and you absolutely must have a "scar" on your face with a little blood. At least that's what these pirates said.....so, the boys waited in line to get painted by this pirate.

After all the kids looked like real pirates, we danced, did the pirate limbo, heard a pirate story, and shot a mini cannon........finally, we found the treaure and all the kids got some "loot" It was so fun and a great way to end a wonderful trip!!

It is always a good idea to get your kids focused on positive roll models to help develop the proper social skills that will enable them to succeed in the future. If these guys wind up on sailing ships in the Caribbean, with eye patches, peg legs and a parrot on their shoulders, it should surprise no one.
