Emma's Pirate Adventure

We decided during our vacation to take Emma out for some special time of her own. What better adventure can a 5 year old dream of than to become a pirate for a day!

The morning started off a little rocky; Emma thought the costumes provided looked a little boyish. Luckily, we had a princess crown in the car and she agreed to having a mermaid painted on her arm (Because mermaids could be princesses, too)

Emma soon got into the adventure when they started learning pirate speak

Argh!!!

Next, the young pirates had to sneak to their boat

Emma was really good at sneaking

Arms out for balance

The captain greeted each pirate before coming aboard

Awaiting instruction

First, they had to find the map to the treasure

Showing how tough they are

Oh no, The evil Pirate Pete had stolen the keys to the treasure, they had to find the bad pirate and get the key

Shooting with the water cannons

Pete taunted the children

But, we prevailed and got the keys

Next, they had to find the treasure

X marked the spot

For the treasure!

The parents got to sit back and watch

While the pirates played limbo

Then took a nap

We had an excellent pirate adventure! If you are ever in the outer banks area, we highly recommend it!

Take a ride on the sea Gypsy!
