Des, Marla and I threw a Pirate party for 14 couples at my house. AHRRRR!
The invites were sent out early enough for a count on how many people would be coming. They were sent in bottles with sand sea shells with the invitation burnt around the edges.
Our shipmates arrived and had to find there seats with their pirate names awaiting them.
Dinner was served! Yummy Ribs,chicken, coleslaw, corn, apples, baked beans, corn bread, and Root beer. All the food had a pirate name to go along with it as well.
After dinner we sent the Scallywags on a Treasure Hunt.
The treasure hunt started off dividing the pirates into 5 teams. Then they were sent out looking for Captain Jacks lost treasure and clues. They started off putting a puzzle together to find out Captain Jacks friends name which was Royal Connly Willey. They quickly jumped into cars and headed to R.C. Willey. They found a deck of cards there and found out that Captain Jack was not liked because of his Bluffing. They then set sail to the Bluff Park where they had to find skull heads in the trees. After finding the skull heads they were directed to Little Cesar's then to Spare Time because the pirates thought it was time to spare his life. After getting the clue from Spare Time they headed to Captain Barkers home where there were skull heads awaiting on the diving board where Captain Jack was told to walk the Plank. They found a note from captain Jack that sent the pirates to his lost treasure in the Hansens back yard where they had to dig in their garden to find the treasure.
This is the team that found the treasure. They were each awarded with $20 gift cards to different places around Syracuse City.

How fun! It looks like you have a great group of neighbors and friends.
Wow, you are quite the party planner. Looks like a good start to October. Beckem's party looked so cute! Good job mom!
Btw, I have started his book, but am obviously slacking!
That looks like fun, I may have to steal that idea for one of our neighborhood parties.

i wish we had fun neighbors... all they want to do is farm their hay and ride their horses.... (i'm only kidding... kind of)
You and your friends sure know how to throw some cute and fun looking parties. I like getting some of your ideas on your pictures to do some things like that here. That's my problem though at this point thats as far as I get (getting the idea and then nothing else), hehehe.
Looks like the party turned out great! Thanks for letting me help a little. :) It was fun! We need to do something like that for next year's family party.
