Wes requested a pirate theme for his 5th birthday party.
Ok...requested is a bit of an understatement. Wesley, PLANNED his 5th birthday pirate party.
He had quite a few ideas, which included him dressing up in costume, me making a pirate ship cake, kids going on a treasure hunt (he even drew a map), a pinata, and Grandma "sewing a costume" for his play structure to make it into a pirate ship.
I tried to make most of his hopes and plans come true, but I had to draw the line when I saw my mom out at the play structure with plans and a tape measure. We settled on using our imaginations to make the play structure into a pirate ship...with the help of a pirate flag.
The kids did get to walk the plank...
...as part of an obstacle course centered around the "pirate ship".
All his best buds were there.
There was indeed a treasure hunt where the kids had to hunt for pieces to a map and put it together like a puzzle.
The map led them to the front yard, where there was...
TREASURE, of course!
A treasure chest pinata.
To break open with a sword,
...and loot the booty inside.
