When Zach's friends came, we had pirate things for them to put on and play with. They mostly just had fun having a big battle! My wonderful neighbor made balloon swords and we had a sword fight. They loved it! See!
Then we played a few games like Loot, Loot, who has my loot. Which is just like button button who's got the button. Instead of a button a used a play golden coin. We also played red light Green light.
Before we had lunch I read them a story to help calm things down. We read. Roger, The Jolly Pirate by Brett Helquist. It's a pretty funny story. You should check it out sometime!
For lunch we had Octopus and Sea monsters, with sides of fish, logs and boats... or in other words.. hot dogs, gold fish crackers, french fries and apple slices. The Octopus hot dogs definitely stole the show though. For desert we had cupcakes with white frosting and pirate picks in them.
Then it was time to open presents! Zach received a lot of cool things! It was fun to see all the boys get excited about each one.
And what pirate party is complete without a treasure hunt? For treasure I had little bags that had pretend gold coins, chocolate gold coins, Swedish fish, and gummy sharks. It was great! We let the kids take home all the pirate stuff too. I think they had a fun time and I think it was a good experience for Zach. Now we just need to get those thank you notes written!
