Party Recap
Every pirate needs a ship & the birthday boys Dad built one special for the party! Dressed in pirate garb once they arrived the boys had a ball & the ship was a hit!As the kids arrived, we gave them their "swag bags" (gift bags) first. These contained eye patches, earring, red handkerchiefs, and pirate hats & everyone put their things on so they were in the part!

Just got an email with your comment asking if we rented a pirate ship. No, my ex husband actually made it from refrigerator boxes. I found the idea on a blog somewhere & have a neighbor that was able to get me boxes. So, I presented him with everything he would need & lucked out that he didn't balk too much and did it!
