Newly adopted cousins - Pirate Day on the lake (pic heavy)
Years back my Aunt and Uncle adopted two kids from Russia and the one absolutely LOVED Pirates of the Caribbean ... It was the one and only movie on loop at their orphanage... so honestly the only thing he saw for the first 2/3 years of his life besides his crib. Somehow this fact came out and it was coming up on their second summer as part of our family so we figured we would play off the Pirate theme and have a pirate day.
....here is a summary of the day! Left our house/beach in the morning with my brother, mother, fiance' and myself. Our pirate ship - https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n..._3579131_n.jpg Mom dressed for the day https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n..._1894744_n.jpg Picked up the kids at their house... they were given a note in riddle form a few days prior and had to work on decoding it.... Younger brother Ryder (left), me, and the older brother Hunter (right) https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6688497_n.jpg Re-reading the first clue https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n..._2227612_n.jpg About to set sail ... first clue led us to our grandmother's house down the lake a little ways https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n..._2009034_n.jpg Hunting for the second clue https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...2_797699_n.jpg PIRATE FLAG! https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._8078129_n.jpg Second clue at Grandma's https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5414086_n.jpg Third clue led us to a small island on the lake... searching for the clue https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n..._3476951_n.jpg The clue lead us into an ambush!!!! https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n..._4675960_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n..._3628660_n.jpg Battle on the high-seas https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n..._6748992_n.jpg After the battle and some of our crew was kidknapped, we headed to find the next clue and have lunch https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...2_920238_n.jpg The next clue was sunken underwater like 6 ft and guarded by alligators... so we had to hide under a flipped canoe to find it ....

Wow...Props... Talk about a well put together idea for the kids.
|
that's awesome! I'm sure they loved it.
|
major production here ... congrats ... the beer was likely the easiest task ... beyond the fact that you must have a really busy day at work ;-)

Yeah, today was a lot of hurry up and wait.... Hopefully we can get out this week, but there is a 50/50 chance I'll have to take off tomorrow through the end of the week of work, if not.... more waiting. Quote:
