Ahoy Matey

This weekend our home was seized by a Pirate! Braxton's Bama was doing more cleaning out closets and found this pirate outfit that she knew someone would greatly appreciate. Braxton doesn't do anything halfway. He's got the outfit, the boots, the sword, the hook....all we needed was the ship and the treasure.
So we hit up Burger King for some treasure.? Then we went down to the Harbor in Blaine to seize ourselves a ship.
We learned something while we were there. These birds are called Cormorants and in China they are used to fish. They have a ring tied around their neck with a line and they dive under the water, catch the fish with their beaks and then retrieve them to the fisherman. Pretty interesting.
Here are the kiddo's on the Plover Ferry in Blaine. It was a great time (thanks Lesha for the idea).

Emmett was a sport. I love those green eyes!
The Captain kept telling me to hang onto Adelle because he didn't want her to fall out the window. Like I would really let me little girl fall out? Hello? She is a risky one though and got as close as she possibly could.
Here are the kids looking out into the Bay.
We got off the ferry at Semi Ahmoo and hung out on the beach for an hour. Looking for more treasure and massaging our feet in the sand.
Emmett loved the Sand too and had fun letting it run through his fingers.
Of course Adelle goes walking right into the water. Pants and all. It was 7:00pm at night and a bit chilly but she was in the water without reservation.
The boys were a bit more cautious and dampened only their feet.
Here they are burying some treasure for the next pirates who make it to shore.

The Ferry only runs through this weekend so check it out!
