Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me!

Day 2 cont. - The Pirate Cruise

The Pirate Cruise was so much fun for the kids! Noah and Rachel were exhausted by the end of the ride (as I'm sure you can tell by those bottom pictures of the kiddos showing off their tattoos!). The trip was all about the little pirates while Mom and Dad hang out, enjoy the ride and watch the fun. The trip started out with all the kids getting to load up with water guns and shoot everyone on the lower deck (yes, that included us!). After that while the boys were swabbing the deck, the girls got to go have their faces painted with the boys following. Rachel had her face painted with a heart and Noah got a big scar across his cheek. After that, there was sword fighting and a game of cannon-ball (the boys hit beanbags out of a cannon and the girls had to race to see who got the beanbags first, then they switched. Rachel got the first two! =) Soon after that there were Dolphin sightings and we also got to see a couple of different kinds of jellyfish. Noah liked the dolphins a lot. Then the treasure was spotted and the kids had to wait for it to be brought aboard. They all got to see what was inside the treasure chest and each got to pick out several pieces of treasure and pirate jewlery. This trip was packed with stuff for the kids to do. They did the Limbo, the Chicken Dance, more sword fighting, danced with tamborines and also they each got their own cool pirate tattoo!
