Ahoy, Mateys!

A beautiful day for a treasure hunt!

Welcome aboard the SS Kozy Heart! We are setting sail on our week of make-believe adventures, starting with Pirates! The morning started off with an exciting treasure hunt. We followed ancient treasure maps to locate buried gold. Then we ate birthday treats for Allison and Alex's 5th birthday! 

X marks the spot!

In the afternoon, we began our transformation into real pirates! After reading the book How I Became a Pirate, we made our own hand hooks and eye patches (couldn't find enough wood in the backyard for peg legs... ha ha). And what pirate would be complete without his trusty pet parrot? We decorated ours with watercolors and fwathers, then sent them to crew our pirate ship:

Our day as pirates concluded as any pirate's day would... with counting our treasure! Arghhh!
