My youngest son turned 4 on July 9th this year! With Owen's birthday falling in the summer and Chad always working out of town that time of year, we'd never really had a big bash for him like Aidan has had. So this year I decided to rectify that! He decided he wanted the party to be at my grandparents pool and have a pirate theme and we ran with it. There is a great pirate supply store in downtown Seattle and we found some great costume pieces and decorations. We had a blast planning it, and I think our guests had as good of a time attending.

Birthday Boy

Everybody had to come in character...




My grandma made the boys pirate capes, which they loved and Aidan is still wearing it constantly two weeks later!

A few months ago while on a family vacation, my grandpa and I came across a kid-sized zipline at a playground and we thought it was the greatest idea ever and we needed to build one at the farm. So for weeks my dad, grandpa and husband planned and finally and built it for the party. It was the hit of the day for the young...


...and old!
As if a 200ft zipline 15ft off the ground wasn't enough, they decided to attach a rope so someone on the ground could pull my dangling children along for a faster ride!

What a fun party, matey! The zip line looks wonderful, too.

Radical pirate gear Casey! What a bash you threw. Your boys are just handsome little devils. The zipline looks like real trouble. :) I have so many fond memories of wild intertube rides behind the boat, your boys will love that forever... as evidenced by Colin's continued delight as a 20 something!
