Shiver me timbers! Me maties and I had a jolly good time this past weekend!
The theme (as if you couldn’t guess!) was Pirate Weekend.
We started celebrating on Friday with a doubloon hunt, walk-the-plank contest
and sink-the-ship game
Then we had a very exciting Ping Pong Tournament! Here are our first and second place winners, Tom and Erin
Tom won by the skin-of-his-teeth, didn’t you? Erin is quite the player! A wicked good game!
On Saturday, I trained our new employee, who for some reason, only wanted to hang out on the porch.
We greeted all the little “sprogs” (recruits) who be wantn’ to join our crew!
We played landlubber games, had a canon shooting contest, made pirate hats, tossed horseshoes and organized a Yo-Ho-Ho scavenger hunt.
Our resident pirates
Capn’ and Bones, trained the sprogs and then swore them in as official pirates!
Saturday night, Mad Science came to perform some magical science for us!
She balanced a ball on a leaf blower -
Introduced us to her very good friend Eggbert . . . then popped him into her mouth
for safekeeping! Then she lit a fire under him (in the beaker) to get him to “go home” (by having the oxygen outside the beaker push him inside).
Eggbert went a little way in, then he got stuck. Elizabeth said she’d take care of him later.
She went on to give the kids a dry ice bath,
and the adults a dry ice shower (which had the kids giggling)
It was great to see so many kids take part in our Pirate theme! I had a great time, I hope they did too!
