Carter's 4th Buccaneer Bash!

I know I'm late posting about this...it's been a week to say the least around here.
Last weekend was Carter's 4th Buccaneer Bash! And I have to admit....it was a blast! This was one of my easier parties to plan...and the kids really had a great time.


Everyone came in a filled a black back pack with their pirate essentials...We made foam pirate ships...


We filled necklaces with pirate sand...it was edible! (Sugar and jello for coloring)


This was the activity that the kids actually made more than one...it was the hit!



We went on a treasure hunt for our "buried" treasure!

We ate pirate ship dogs, cannon ball salad (fruit cut in balls) and sea chips! Afterwards we all played pirates...

The cake did not disappoint! It was amazing and the kids loved all the decorations!
Each table had "shark bait" to nibble on....(whale and fish crackers)

Carter opened his presents and man did that kid haul! I put out the carpet squares from nursery and each kids had a seat. (It worked so well)
The last game was passing the treasure chest around. Once they were "out" they got thier pirate sword. (Then they left...so that there were no fights with the swords.)

It was such a great party! Carter's friends still talk about it when we see them! Carter and Braxton are so lucky to have such great friends and family.

The party was a HIT! Hunter keeps saying he needs a pirate party for his birthday now. It was such a fun time. I can't believe he is four.
Garder Village was so fun too. Thanks for coming with us. I can't wait until our girls night out!
