Captain Veda's pirate party... Aaaarggh!

Veda's request was for a pirate themed birthday party, and deliver we did! Here are the invitations.

Captain Veda with some of her mates. 23 kids in all!!

The kids at the start of the treasure hunt.

Travis and I reading the next Treasure hunt clue.

I should have taken a picture of the house before the wind blew off some of our flags. You get the picture though.
The pirates coming back for their next clue.
X marks the spot! Now we dig!
The booty!



Some of the roughest toughest buccaneers we know.
Pirates are starvin! Time for cake!
Happy Birthday to you...



Cap'n Filthy Scar Knockboots and his sidekick Girdy Joe Rose
Some pirate-ettes taking a little breather in the sun.
What is any pirate without a parrot? This was an honored guest - Bonzai. She was a very social sweet bird who flew from shoulder to shoulder, even taking samples off our plates. She was the hit of the party.
This is the cutest little swashbuckler I've ever seen. Great idea Veda!

I can't believe my little chicken (I) is SEVEN! :( Looks like she had such a great time. That party rocks. I thought Cal's pirate party was awesome, but yours by far trumped his. wish we could have been there. Love you, V!

FUN!!! Minus the bird - you know my phobia of birds. Happy Birthday Veda!! What a great party idea and great execution by the parentals! Nicely done. KC - the doo-rag look works for you, Travis not so much, but you look like a biker babe! Veda is so adorable and I LOVE her with the big hoop earrings! Big pirate squeeze from the Foster family! Arrrrr!!
