Yaarrgghh!

This past weekend we had the pleasure of a visit from my sister (commonly referred to as Aunt Shannon by the minions).  We had a fun time visiting, playing, and hanging out.  We planned a theme for the weekend, and tailored our dinnertime around it.  
The theme: Pirates.


We played games, dressed up, read stories, and created a meal where each item of food was built around pirates.

The table was set, complete with pirate table service and an eye patch for all to wear.

Here is the food.  We had kabobs (swords), zucchini 'boats', couscous islands with coconuts (almonds) and trees (celery), and cauliflower 'clouds'. 

The band of scalawags ready to dig in!

Pin the flag on the treasure map.

Having fun with dress up.

A fun weekend and a reminder to play.  It's good for you!
