Grantham decided to have a "boy" birthday party. He invited 8 of his friends that were boys. Nana, Pawpaw and Auntie Kara came to help with the party.
Grantham designed his own cake. Drawing a picture for me to copy for his birthday cake - I was pretty impressed with his ideas (the orange is an octopus leg coming out of the ocean to grab the treasure).
As guests arrived, they created flags and decorated treasure chests.
Isaac and Pawpaw even created a flag:)
Time for cake and ice cream - Grantham blowing out his candles.
Let the treasure hunt begin - Daddy lead his band of pirates to attack the boat with water balloon cannons.
After boarding the boat, they attacked the "bad guys" (balloons) with swords (bambam sticks). They cornered them and put them in the holding cell.
A loose cannon was found (hot potatoe), the losers had to walk the plank. The winner discovered a treasure map!
Grantham walking the plank!
Down the stairs as they followed the treasure map.
Finding the missing piece of the map proved to be a challenge . . .
on they searched through a tunnel, over the river and around the cannons
Until they found the X that marked the spot. Hidden under some pillows was a treasure chest full of "goodies." The loot was divided up for each guest/pirate and they took them home in their treasure chests.
Enjoying a pirate game that Grantham received at his party.
