Savannah the Pirate!

I think last week was one of the busiest weeks I've had all year. Every single day, from Sunday to Sunday, we had something major going on.

And lucky you, you get to read about each day!

Today we will start with the Strawberry Days Pirate Party that I took the kids too last Monday. 

Starwberry Days, for you non-locals, is a week long celebration that my town does every June to celebrate our history and heritage. It includes parties, concerts, a boutique, food, a carnival, and it all leads up to the parade on Saturday.

Monday, the city held a Pirate Party for kids, and knowing Savannah, we just HAD to go! So, I dressed her up and went to be a pirate for a day!

They split everyone up into groups, and then every 15-20 minutes, they had us switch activities. Our first activity for our group was getting a photo with "Captain Jack Sparrow"

She was pretty excited!

 

 

Our next stop was the "Tattoo Parlor" because you can't be a pirate with out a tattoo!

 

Then digging for treasure!

 

And walking the plank! This was hilarious because they had a guy with blow-up sharks and was pretending to get their ankles while they tried to walk. Savannah made it halfway, then pretended to be eaten by the shark, and "fell" off the plank!

 

Lunch was supplied by Maceys. I think this was her first hot dog ever!

Her favorite activity was getting to play on the pirate ships! They had two, and they also had fog cannons, so she got to have a pirate ship battle! No 3 year old has ever been more in her element than Savannah was on that ship!

And of course, every pirate needs a parrot! There were other games, but with a half hour to go, Savannah was tired and just really wanted to keep playing on the ships. So I let her play on them for a little while longer (even though our group was done) and then she ran around the field for a while sword fighting with two older boys. 

She had so much fun, and I had fun watching her. Deagan was a champ and enjoyed munching on snacks in the stroller for most of it. I hope they do the pirate party again next year!
