Pirates, Pirates Everywhere

My Mom and I took the boys to the Maritime Museum today for the pirate bash.  So let me just say that we saw that there was a costume contest for kids so that got the wheels spinning that we needed to find something for the boys to wear, which turned into my Mom handmaking full pirate coats and pants for both boys.  Which took nearly 2 weeks and were only completed last night at like 10 pm.  But the hard work paid off and Jack won the costume contest..mostly because I think he had the best arrrrrr.  He got a great pirate sword as a prize and he hasn't stopped talking about it...even now 3 hours later.  We got extra tickets to go on a Sword Fight at Sea sailing pirate show.  This was amazing!  The pirates interacted with the kids, they had cannons that shot water, they gave out coins, sang pirate songs, fake bombarded ships and of course had a sword fight.  We are exhasuted...I am on my second cup of coffee and will be refilling while the pictures load. 

Jack looking thrilled to be all dressed up.  LOL

 They started warming up to the pirates once we got on the ships and they showed them their swords.
 The boys took to this pirate, and this guy remembered their names all day and made sure to make them feel extra special.  Charlie of course was chasing him down with his sword harrassing the heck out of him. 
Jack waiting for the costume constest results.  Thanks goodness he won because he probably would have lost it had he not. Maybe the lady judging sensed that....LOL

 All the dressed up boys on the Star of India with the pirates.

 This pirate had to swab the deck and then he pushed the mop after Charlie...he thought it was great.
