Carribean Pirate Party A Huge Success

Well, our Carribean Pirate Party appeared to be a huge success. Fellow daycare provider "Marilyn" and I hosted our party from 10 am until 1:30 pm. With a variety of games and activities. I did not post any pictures of the children due to privacy issues, but assure you they had a great time. Activities included "walk the plank" they walk on a board like a balance beam and jump into their life raft (a miniature blow up pool) that is in a bed of blowup crocodiles waiting to nip at their toes if they miss! a set of tunnels was part of the day, water fun in our wading pool, a treasure hunt that lead the children to a cave where Mr. Bones the pirate (a Halloween skeleton dressed as a pirate) guarded the treasure in the enclosed treehouse, a jello eating contest seen our senior winner retain his title for the second year...he is small but mighty and truly enjoys his J E L L O......the pirate seen above is one of the many craft displays I made for the party...we had a pirate teddy bear, Tigger, a frog, a RCMP moose and two pirate ships made of old cardboard, some paint and a little imagination. The day ended with an awards ceremony where the children each received a small trophy and medallion for their efforts in making our day special....jello eating winner, good attitude, great at taking turns, good friend, great enthusiasm etc. ...everyone is a winner. Each child went home with their own "booty" of treasure and as I develop the pictures and put together my scrap book I realize that they are not the only lucky ones...I got to enjoy the day as much as they did.
