Aargh, matey!!! A Pirate Turns Three

Joshua was invited to his friend, Lang's, third birthday party. So on Saturday, we joined in on the most happenin' pirate party this side of the Pacific. Lang's parents (Gretchen and big Lang) were quite the party planners. The kids participated in a scavenger hunt for a pinata shaped like a treasure chest. Afterwards, the kids each had a turn at trying to crack open the chest with a bat. Once it was finally torn into, with the help of Lang's dad, the kids all went crazy collecting as many goodies as possible from the spoils.

Afterwards, we feasted on some burgers, hot dogs, and bratwurst that were grilled to perfection, along with a fruit medley and chips. After blowing out some candles and eating some ice cream cake, Lang opened up his presents to close out the festivities. Fun was had by all, as our pictures will show you. The full assortment of photos are in our Gallery, dated 04/09/2006.

It was so much fun! Langs mom and dad did a great job at putting together everything. The good sunny weather hung in there just long enough for our treasure hunt and BBQ then the rain clouds rolled in. We couldn't have asked for more perfect timing! It's pretty neat to see them all interacting with one another. I can't believe Josh will be 3 in August. We are hoping to be in Richmond near his birthday that way, maybe we can have a cousins dual birthday party with family. I'm totally going to plan something fun/adventurous for his 4th though!

Love the photos - but for goodness sakes get away from the base and experience Japan! As long as you are on base you will still be in America. This is a wonderful country that you will only get to know when you go out and explore outside your comfort zone! Go- experience - and please send pictures!
