The Pirate Ship

Mom, the girls and I got up this morning and headed down to the beach for the day. The children's ministry at church planned a trip on the pirate ship for this afternoon but we went down early and had lunch at Schooners before our adventure.

 When the pirate ship left the first thing they did was have a water gun fight!

Next  they got pirate hats and got their faces painted. Both my girls chose dolphins. Charlotte's didn't last very long, you can tell she was thrilled about it!

There's a little smile!

Then we found some real dolphins swimming in the water!

We couldn't go on a pirate cruise without a sword fight!

Fire in the hole!

Charlotte had a runny nose and wasn't overly impressed with the pirate ship experience so she and Nonny hung out in the air conditioning.

A real live pirate! Too bad Charlotte was more interested in her snack.

We even found some sunken treasure. The kids got to pull it up out of the water.

After they pulled the treasure in everyone got in a circle to see what was in there. The silly pirates tried to convince them that it was nothing so they could keep it all to themselves, but the kids were smart enough to know better!

Charlotte came out of the air conditioning long enough to get her share of the treasure!

On the way back in they had a limbo contest, a dance party, and got tattoos!

We were on the pirate ship for about 2 and a half hours and they kept the kids entertained the entire time. Charlotte wasn't that into it and a few parts were scary to Julia ( like firing the cannon). I think she will really enjoy it in another year or so.

A trip to PCB is not complete without a trip to Miracle Strip so we stopped by to let the girls ride a few rides on our way home.

We had a fun but long day. I hope the girls sleep late tomorrow!
