Ahoy

(Future blog header ;-)
When plans changed last minute, Grandpa suggested we venture out on the pirate boat at Clearwater. I was a tad concerned it might be difficult, but it wasn’t, and Grandpa’s idea proved to be one of the best. John and Jodi spent their 2nd wedding anniversary with us. They are awesome like that. It was a blast. There were a lot of beverages and plenty to keep Vanessa engaged. Vanessa played in a water gun battle, went on a treasure hunt, listened to pirate stories, danced, and played games. She was sad to lose Musical Chairs but we assured her that she will play again one day, and maybe then she will win. Zane loved the stairs. And Captain Memo stopped Zane from invading his station. Zane also loved the windows on the boat and Daddy’s shoulders.
 
If you look closely, you can see Grandpa in the reflection on the window box on the left.

Vanessa wasn’t sure about the mustache and goatee, yet she and Grandpa made great pirate buddies.
Vanessa asked numerous times to go back to the pirate boat. Obviously it made quite the impression.
