Alex's Pirate Birthday Bash!!



PJ and Lorena, also known as the best parents in the world, set the bar really high with this birthday party for Alex! Everyone had a great time!



Here is the birthday boy with his Pirate Daddy. Alex was a little bit overwhelmed at first, but didn't take long to get into it.



Pirate PJ was welcoming the kids and explaining to them that in order to become a pirate like him, they had to walk the plank!!

Logan taking his turn.



Joshua



Dylan- The most adorable pirate at the party!



All of the children passed the initiation and were allowed to become pirates!





Next they had to throw huge gold coins into a treasure box in order to receive a chocolate gold coin from Pirate PJ's coin satchel.



Aubrie



Justin



Caleb



Caitlyn



Logan



Then we all had pizza! YUM!



Then all the kids went on a treasure hunt around the neighborhood.



Wouldn't you know, the treasure was back at the clubhouse all along! Pirate PJ helped to carry the bounty.



In the box was a mini treasure box for each of the kids.



This is Pirate Alex, the birthday boy! Soooo cute!



Then, the kids each had a turn taking a whack at the treasure pinata! This is Ellie putting more thought than muscle into it.



Logan



Watch out! They gave the big stick to Joshua and he wasn't holding anything back!



Caitlyn



Caleb. It looks like a light saber, it's moving so fast!



And then Aubrie finished off the pinata with her big muscles!



And then the hordes descended on the loot!

We are all hoping our children quickly forget what fun it was, so the expectation will not be so high for the rest of us! :)
