The Month that Got Away...August Part 2

School starting was definitely a bright spot of August, but it's always fun to wrap up the month with BIRTHDAYS!  Ali turned 6 and Brock turned 3.  We had a Pirate and Princess Adventure to celebrate. We always appreciate our friends and family that help us celebrate! Here's a look back on the kids' party...

This sounds weird, but my kids don't really like cake.  So, we went with cookie cakes this year.  Ali chose chocolate chip and Brock got M&M.  

All the kids enjoying a little dinner before the princess and pirate adventure

Brock and Dane

Grandma Dotty joined the fun

This picture took like 15 attempts to get them all at least looking in the same direction

The boys got pirate patches and swords and the girls got necklaces and wands

The first stop, find gold coins in the kiddie pool of bubbles

Stop 2...walk the plank

This wasn't part of the adventure but had to laugh and what a group of children look like when armed with swords and wands in an open space :)

Stop 3 was a matching game of characters and their friends (Ariel & Flounder, Peter Pan & Tinkerbell, etc)

I don't want to mess with this guy!

Stop 4 was drowning out the Villains with water balloons (Captain Hook, Ursula, etc.)

The kids then ran to find a pinata filled with goodie bags.  

Aubree, Paige and Ali

Dane was showing me his belly and with that face, I couldn't resist taking pictures

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl

Make a Wish, Ali...

And Brock, too
