Ahoy, maties!

Climb aboard the BLACK DRAGON and set sail on a fabulous pirate cruise. It was here that Capt. Stinky's (my son) dream was realized. My children were delighted and overwhelmed from the minute we passed through this door into The Pirate's Landing! Every one of our senses were entertained - the feel of the old wooden deck under your feet, the smell of the harbor (fish), the sound of the seagulls, pirates shouting at one another, etc... Wow, it was a sight to see!






I was pretty excited too! This is my stranded on a desert island/ pirate look. Ha!




Grandma had to get in the mix! She went with the full on Blackbeard look. I think she pulled it off rather nicely!





This is a pic. of the front half of the ship. Note the treasure chest in the bottom left corner.






It was very difficult to get any good photos on the ship. There was sooo much going on. Sword fights, water pistol fights, games galore, children running wild. It was two solid hours of pirate chaos!




Pirates pointing to the dolphins that were swimming along side the BLACK DRAGON.






The tots showing off their freshly painted tattoos. Layla's is on her arm (a rose with polka dots to match her dress)! Umm... because she is NOT a pirate, she is a pirate princess!


Layla won the treasure hunt! She was beaming with pride - so was Dad.


Our cruise came to an end and we took a final stroll through the gift shop. Here is T.'s completed look. I'm sure you will all see him sporting it for months to come.
The entire family had an absolute blast on our pirate cruise!
