Zach's Pirate Party

 


Here are some fun pictures from Zach's birthday party. Check out the cupcakes... my crafty friend Dusti made them. Seriously - the girl is "da bomb!" She has more crafty talent in her little finger than I have in my body! The pictures are a little harsh because it was such a bright sunshiney day... but I love the smiles on the kids! You will notice Zach had a cake too... because - you know, in his words, "you get more with cake!". My husband Mark came up with great clues for the treasure hunt - and it was fun to see their little brains figure them out! Zach wasn't happy about not winning the X Marks the Spot (ala Pin the tail on the donkey)
or Bean bag toss in the treasure chest. He obviously got my competitive genes!

I was pleased that Zach liked his cupcakes. He had me worried for a minute when he had that sad face when I asked him if he liked the cupcakes!Luckily the sad face was only because "they were too pretty to eat"..ha ha! Great party,the girls had a blast!

I laughed Out Loud at your message! I wish I could come up with those kinds of comments when I'm in the moment...and not 24 hours later.

I am soooo bummed that we're aren't in CA to hang out with you guys and be part of the fun. You REALLY need to move to Colorado!

Again I hope things work out for a different grant.

I love pirate parties! The pictures are really wonderful! Your kids will love looking at these when they get older; mine still love looking at their pirate party stuff. (But be careful; my oldest joined the Navy!) What a great way to present all the photos together with this layout.

Not only are you a digi extraordinaire, you're an event planning fiend! I am showing my friend your post so she can see what the pros do for pirate parties.
