A Pirate Party

We be celebratin' the 6th birthday of our son, Lukas, pirate style complete with a treasure hunt and lots of pirate booty.

As you gathered from the title and opening line, Lukas wanted to have a pirate-themed party for his birthday this year so we obliged.  A friend of Lukas' from church was turning 5 years old a few days after Lukas was turning 6, so we held a joint party for both boys at our house.  As you'll see from the photos, lots of fun was had by all!

Pirates for a day!
"We're ready for a treasure hunt, Aarg!"
After walking the plank to abandon ship, the pirates swam to shore and began digging for treasure
Once the treasure map was dug up, the birthday pirates consulted it and began the hunt.  They tunneled through the mountains...
... and carefully traveled across crocodile infested waters...
...until they found the first part of the treasure along with another map leading them toward more loot
However, in order to reach it, they had to swing on a jungle vine...
...with all of their shipmates.
Once the main treasure was found, the pirates had to break open the locked treasure box
