Happy Birthday Colin!

My sweet boy is 8! He began his birthday celebration with a pirate treasure hunt party at Lake Zorinsky. (It was a friend party for both Tristan and Colin) Greg planned the whole thing and was very into the details. He commissioned Lindsey to create an authentic looking treasure map. (It was awesome) We had bandannas, earrings, tattoos, facial hair pretty much anything you would need to become a pirate. Once all the kids were decked out in pirate gear they went on a treasure hunt.They had to follow the map to different areas where they would then get a clue to find the treasure. The first stop was the cannon ball stomp. The kids put balloons around their ankles and tried not to get theirs popped. The next area they came upon was a puzzle. The kids had to find 20 the same color of boxes that they then had to put it together to create the image of a jolly roger symbol. Then they were off to find the treasure. It was A LOT of fun! After the treasure was found we went back to the picnic area and had cupcakes and ice cream. We all had a wonderful time. The last child was picked up and in their car just as it began to hail! We all had to wait it out in the picnic shelter.
