If these pictures don't make you smile, nothing will!
Cute.Cute.Cute.
You can't have a pirate camp without a treasure hunt and well...
a few treasures!
I asked Grandpa to make the boys a pirate ship. The boxes Mark had at The Oil Box Empire warehouse were perfect. Grandpa is amazing, coolest ships ever! The wheels on the ships even turn.
The ships were the highlight of the camp. After decorating and painting them, the boys played with them for hours. We would do another activity and then they would come back to play some more. It made me smile and I especially loved the boys creativity. They made sails and gave their ship a name. Cash - "Fire Bomb" Colby - "Colby's Cool Ship" Grey - "Grey's Goblin Ship" They tried to sink each others ship and shot cannonballs at each other. So much fun!
The black on the side of Captain Colby's ship are cannon ball hits.
Anchors away!
Hmm, I wonder where Captain Colby is.
We finally took a break for dinner. Making homemade pizzas has become a tradition, again the boys were so creative. Cash decided to make pizza bites. He carefully rolled the dough and put sausage in some, and mini pepperoni in the others. He then rolled each one of the bites in sauce and sprinkled them with cheese. He said that's how Chris does it! He also said if you take your time things will turn out good. They were delicious! Colby and Grey also made a yummy pizza.
The next activity was also a favorite. We made pirate sand art. They turned out so pretty. Cash mixed all the colors together for his top layer, have I mentioned how creative he is?
The boys had fun making some ocean Jello, then Grey told me he doesn't like Jello!
Pirate Lava lamps, we have made these before but the boys never seem to get tired of doing it again.
We did go outside a few times. It was too hot to do activities but we did check on Grandpa's garden.
Every pirate needs a parrot!
Notice Cash in the background with the "getter," he's trying to get some balloons that got away. He put a piece of tape on the end and by darn he got a few down.
And just like that it was over, lots of pictures and a whole lot of "treasured" memories. As always I hope Cash, Colby, and Grey will know how much I enjoy being with them, and how very much I love them.
I asked the boys if they had fun and Cash said, Why wouldn't we.
