One week after Halloween, we celebrated Nathan's third birthday with a Pirate Party! I decided to heck with the germs floating about Fremont County.
Amy and Travis went to a lot of work to make a "Pirate Ship" for the occasion, and the kids loved it!

For a Pirate Birthday Party, one needs a Pirate Birthday Cake. This was actually one of the easiest cakes I've ever made. It's true, sometimes less is more!
How I decided to do the candles, which were trick candles, I hadn't realized until the copious amounts of smoke and flickering began.

Aunt Brooke joined us from Sheridan for the festive event.

For the party we played:
1. Walk the plank
2. Duck, Duck, Pirate
3. Mark the "X" on the map
then we watched a pirate Backyardagains episode
Followed by Lunch of "Golden (chicken) Nuggets", veggie tray and fruit tray
The adults had quiche
Then Cake and Ice cream followed by presents for all!
We had a treasure hunt slated as well, but the kids were winding down and didn't need the extra activity.
Thanks to Brooke, Amy, Travis and Shane for all your help!
