Pirate Jaxson turns 3!

Wow!  What an awesome weekend we had celebrating Jaxson’s birthday!! 

We started by having Kim and Preston over to spend the night Friday night.  Peyton, Preston and Jaxson all took a ride to the firehouse with Jason where they got to play on the fire trucks and then they played at our house for a little while.  At 11pm we knew we were going to be in a lot of trouble if we didn’t get them in bed soon since we had such a busy day planned for Saturday.  So, after much grumbling we finally got them all asleep.  Kim and I had a great time chatting over the wine she brought until the wee hours of the morning.  Thanks Kim!  It was great to have some girl time!!

The next morning, we were up bright and early to set off for our Pirate Adventure!  But, first Jaxson opened his present from us, a new Nintendo DS!!  I never thought my 3 year old would be able to play a DS, but since he’s been playing Peyton’s so much, to the point Peyton never got a chance to play it himself, we figured it was a good idea to get him one.

After everything was packed, we were all off to meet up with more friends – Simon, Jude, Ben and Parker - at Pirate Adventures in Annapolis.  

This place was AMAZING!!!  As soon as we arrived all of the kids had a chance to dress up using all kinds of pirate clothes and have their faces painted or tattoos painted on their arms. 

 

 

Here is the finished product of my Pirates – Pacific Peyton and Jolly Jaxson!

 

The best pirate name of the day – SeaDog Simon!

 

During our cruise we got to use our treasure map to find a treasure chest full of lots of goodies!

 

We found a bad pirate “Captain Pete” along our way and got to shoot him with water cannons off the side of the boat!  It took a couple of tries, but finally knocked him off his dinghy into the water.

We also found a bottle of pirate grog (orange soda!) and everyone enjoyed.

Some enjoyed a little too much and passed out……LOL

 

We had the BEST day with all of our friends!  Peyton and Jaxson are both still talking about it!!

Happy Birthday Jaxson!

After the cruise we went to Quiet Waters Park to join Jude in celebrating his birthday as well.  Post to follow soon…..
