How I Became a Pirate

Last weekend, we took the kids to the North 4th Arts Center to see . . .



It was pretty cute, and the best part was they encouraged you to dress up in your best pirate garb.  You know I always love a reason to dress up, so of course we donned our pirate stuff, (except for Arthur who doesn't dress up if he can avoid it.)  Thanks to Amber for the fun idea, and for supplementing our pirate supply since we don't have quite enough for all of us.

The show was about an hour long, and the kids were all pretty good.  Hayden had me a little worried when during the 2nd song he said, "Um, when are they going to start the movie?"  We quietly explained that this was it--it's a real life performance . . . He got into it eventually.  Especially when they invited the audience to say some pirate lingo, like AARG!   Hayden could have won best costume, had they been judging.  He looked almost exactly like the main Pirate, "Captain Braidbeard!"  When Captain Braidbeard came on stage, Hayden looked down at his lace cravat and back up to Braidbeard, and said, "Hey!  I have one of those too!"  The only thing he was missing was the beard.

AAAARRRRG!

Shiver me Timbers!

You guys have so many fun things going on! That basket night sounds like a blast ;) I love your pirate outfits! The Father and Son Camp-out post was so cute with the kids just sitting the car waiting to go. We are so glad Arthur got to come out (he and Mikey left for golf about an hour ago) but we miss you and the kids. Hope to see you soon! :)
