Pirate in Training

One of the biggest highlights of my vacation was learning how to be a real pirate. Mommy, Daddy, and I got to go on a cruise on a real pirate ship. I was already ahead of the game 'cause I was dressed up in my Jack Sparrow pirate outfit. Ruby the pirate queen had a lot of fun with me. I learned that instead of saying "yes" you "aye" and when you want to blast a ship you first act nice and say "ahoy" and then blast them with the cannon.

Isn't she a beauty

ARRRH

The coolest water gun fight EVER

As a ship mate I had to mop up the deck

Ruby gave me a scar and moustache

SEE!!!

Ruby painted a skull and crossbones on my arm

Cool Huh?

Mommy went all out and got a pirate ship

The ocean is so big!!

I think I kicked butt in the sword fight. I got Robo el Torro when he wasn't looking.

The whole crew. That's the captain in the back.

Vacation Part II

For me, vacation was a lot of hanging out and playing. I was sick a lot for the beginning but I still managed to have fun. Below are some pictures of me enjoying myself. There are still many more pictures to come. You'll really want to see Gage on a pirate ship.

I like to call these pictures ......

The Many Faces of Molly

And these are ......

Really, how many times must one go to time-out.

My only experience with the beach was a COLD one!

Let's just say I was quite a klutz this day.

Don't you love the fat lip.

I can do my own breathing treatments now.

Mmmm, Mmmm I love cereal!

The Beach

Whew! What a vacation. It is going to take several posts to show everyone what all we did last week. We left last Saturday and drove to Brownsville where Uncle Jim lives. As some of you may recall we were suppose to go there last summer but hurricane Dolly put a quick stop to it. We broke the trip up by staying in Georgetown with Aunt Mary and cousin Hailey. It was so good to see them! Throughout the trip we battled pink eye, fevers, and gunk in our throats. It was totally worth it.

In Brownsville we went to the zoo, went canoeing, cruised the gulf on a pirate ship, saw the ocean, and stopped to see some dinosaurs. These pictures are from the beach and dinosaurs. Molly didn't get to go with us this day. She was re cooping and taking a nap.

Needless to say it was WINDY. The waves were crazy.
Stepping on sand for the first time

I had no idea how strong those waves could get. Thank goodness

Daddy came to my rescue.

Next time I'll have to come back when it's warmer

These dinosaurs were just chillin' on the side of the road.

We are but ants compared to this thing.

Mommy loves dolphins

Here Comes the Bride

Every year (even since Mommy was there) my pre-school has a pretend wedding. In January we learned about Adam and Eve and what makes a family. At the end of the month the 4 year olds put on a wedding. We play all of the parts except the preacher. There's a choir, parents and grandparents of the bride and groom, ushers, candle lighters and the whole wedding party. I got to be a groomsman and Ashlynn was a singer.

Check out the video of Molly dancing. She was really enjoying Duran Duran.
