August 17th: The Pirates have invaded and we're getting wet! |
Pirate weekend began with a scripted fight between Captain Frost and Pirate Crook. Frost dropped the treasure maps to the would-be Pirates below to keep them from falling into the hands of Pirate Crook. |
The pirates below took flight and began chasing treasure immediately. |

Fair maidens trying to get the treasure without having walked the route on the map. I think they may get the plank! |
Captain Frost fends off would-be short-cut takers. |
And those who followed the entire route have treasure in their future. |
Whoops, same shot again. |
I'm a pirate princess. She wouldn't let go of my parrot all day. I think she may have slept with it too. |
Enough pirate fun, it's HOT and we need to cool off. All aboard for a wet-n-wild hay-wagon ride. |
Everybody hold on, 'cause Greg's driving this time. |
I can get you on that wagon. |
Okay folks, let's break out the buckets! |
And water canons. |
And hoses. |
Look at the determination in that little guy's face. |
It's a sneak attack from on top of the RV. |
Run! Run! Run for your life. |
It is now time for ice cream. |
Let's meet our neighbors around the park. Here's some family with their son and daughter-in-law (to be, I think). I'm so lame with that sort of stuff. |
Ride the wagon around to meet the neighbors. I guess it was good that it dried out following the wet-n-wild ride. |
The band is setting up outside under the pavilion. |
About 1/2 way through their set, it began to rain. The rain got more and more strong and eventually was coming in sideways. |
The band stopped long enough to help attach this tarp and then went right back to playing. How cool is that! |
One of the first days when the pool was warm enough for the adults to swim. |
How about some more tie-dye? |
Okay kids, let's take turns and everyone will have fun. |
Good job dude! |
She did hers all by herself. |
Vanah has nothing on you hon! |
Johnny, his shirt and his mom. |
Here are some of the ones that were made today. |
Greg gets his Olympic decal for the mower. His times are the lowest we've ever seen and I think he'll actually make the official team. Click for Windows. | |
