Ahoy Matey! Nathan's pirate birthday party

Nathan has been waiting to have a pirate birthday party for months now. And if you own a boat and are going to have a pirate party, you may as well have it at the lake. We found a great campsite to serve as our home base. First we had some genuine pirate food. Ok, maybe not, but we had a hot dog lunch with cheetos and fruit skewered by little swords. Next, the men and kids were off for the treasure hunt. They took the boat for a tour of the lake and found the treasure...a pinata. Then the kids took many turns beating the pinata and got the treasure (mostly gold coins and other favors because candy, bugs, and heat do not mix). Next it was time for gold coin cookies (because frosting, bugs, and heat do not mix). Then, the kids had the best time just swimming in the water by our site.
