And another Birthday...this time, there's PIRATES involved...

RJ was invited to his buddy Tate's "Pirate Party". We picked up his other buddy, Braxton on the way. (Braxton's Mom was in the middle of a girly party for Brax's sister. It's birthday madness this month!)

The boys were tickled to get to ride in the same car together :)
We arrived at the party, and it was Pirate's and Piratey things Galore! There was even a pirate ship...
Here's the birthday boy blowing out his candles...
There were a lot of pirate-themed games, but the highlight of the whole day was searching for the "real" buried treasure!! They had to follow clues and find maps hidden in various places, which eventually led them onto the beach where "X" marked the spot. They began to dig with GREAT enthusiasm!
The finally unearthed the treasure chest (it was buried good!) and then it was every pirate for himself!! There was more than enough treasure to go around though, so everyone was happy.
Here's Pirate McKenzie showing off her haul...
Then they had some fun playing chase and running from the waves.
And the end of a long, productive day for our little Pirates...

Then it was back into the car, and Brax was excited to take this monstrous diamond ring home to his Mommy, who was VERY grateful. :)
Much thanks to Jason and Laurie, they always throw the BEST birthday parties! :)
