Pirate Festival

This past weekend was so much fun and HOT! Holy cow it was ridiculous. We went for a few hours on Saturday to a Pirate Festival and the amount of sweat was just unreal. Luckily it was also a LOT of fun so we dealt with it!
 This Parrot greeted us very loudly as soon as we got there! 
 We explored the museum a little bit first then headed back outside for the rest of the event.

Alayna got to meet a mermaid and got an autographed picture which she insisted on framing and is now next to her bed.
 
 
 

 My parents, grammy, aunt and uncle all were volunteering. Mommy the pirate and me!
They were in charge of pirate school which all the kids said was their favorite part.
 Fighting the pirate aka uncle David.  
 
 TREASURE!!!!



 Angel and her fam were there for a little bit too!

We found another building that had some fun inside the best part A/C! :)
 
  We dressed up as pirates




 After we left the A/C building we found Dave and headed up the Hill to the colonial village. This was actually mine and Daves favorite part.
They shot off a very very loud cannon, guns, the girls got to learn a colonial dance and we even held some expensive guns.
 




 A tiny cannon
 This was us holding a gun worth $6,500

 
 Dave held a gun that was worth $20K, yes you read that right! I am surprised they even let people touch it!
 This was right when they shot off the cannon!
  Colonial dancing, they really enjoyed it!
We spent a good 3 plus hours there and all of us had a blast but we were ready to go and get in the air conditioned car! We stopped for lunch then headed home!
 
I hope they do this festival again next year because we will absolutely go! The kids got in free and for Dave and I both it was only $10. Win win!
