Landlubber Party

Landlubber: (nautical) A pejorative term for someone unfamiliar with the sea or seamanship, especially a novice seaman.

We held a landlubber party for Pirate Captain Samuel (aka: Smart Flint Goldensword) and eight of his best pirate pals. In keeping with the pirate spirit, we followed some special pirate rules.

1. We signaled to all that only pirates were allowed to enter:


2. We decorated the house with festive pirate flair:



3. We hired Jeremy the Juggling Pirate for entertainment. He had to do his landlubber show inside the house instead of outside because of the rain. Apparently, Mother Nature thought it appropropriate to provide pirate weather and it rained like a sea storm in Marin but the we little pirates enjoyed it anyway....






4. We had a treasure map....


5. We made shields and swords out of balloons...Aarrrrrrrrr.....


6. We baked this pirate cake, complete with chocolate filling (just kidding):


7. We took the essential pirate family picture:


Some landlubbers are not prepared for landlubber parties...Here's is the oldest pirate in the house taking a nap:


And here is the youngest we little pirate with some pirate family members:





Pirate Captain Samuel had lots-o-loot and can't wait for his next birthday.
