Arrgh! It's a Pirate Party!

The party started as guests arrived and ate the grub. After the kids made pirate foam hats, played walk the plank and snapped some photos with the shark. Then they went inside to start the scavenger hunt and grabbed their pirate bags to dress up as pirates. The hunt lead them to a buried treasure filled with loot! After the games we topped the party off by eating the pirate loot at centerpiece table. It included pearls (sixlets), gold Hershey bars, gold Rolos, black cannonballs (gumballs), Swedish fish, red vines, rock candy, cupcakes, jello ships and treasure map cookies. The treasure chest cake was made by a local bakery. All other items I bought or made myself.
