“Avast, ahoy, aye, aye…” Tamsin turned 3 (another post on how we can’t believe that!) and we celebrated in pirate style.
invitation drawn by Poppa
Phelps Park welcomed us to a piratey adventure.
There was lots of adventuring and searching for treasure and fun in the park.
I just love this picture of P off on an adventure
The zip line provided lots of practice for future flying up ship rigging 
Of course, there was a craft. Decorating pirates and then pinning them to a treasure map.
Thank you Charlotte for helping with this
Then spinning kiddos (just one time but poor Gavin walked into pole).
And then all the pirates
Then some Pirate Grog, Edible Doubloons (to help with scurvy – oranges), Sea Biscuits (pretzels), Pirate Rations (pizza), and fish (goldfish and gummy fish) helped refuel the pirates before cake.
And then the part that T was most excited about – cake (for the past few weeks she’s said “It’s my birthday next and I get cake right?”).
Again, Cafe Patisserie in Lake Mary did such a great job on the cake.
Check out the doubloons…
All scallywags waited patiently…
and then it was time for the cake!
some more playing & hamming it for the camera…
and getting pirate booty…
fun pirate crew shirts from Spunky Stork, eye patches and doubloons
and then Tamsin said, “Momma, I’m ready to go home – can I help carry the presents to the car?” She did have a lovely time and was just a worn out pirate. Thank you everyone who came.
Here is one last picture of her with pirate booty
