JT's 5th Birthday - Pirates: Enter If Ye Dare

We celebrated JT's 5th birthday today. 15 kiddos, backyard playground, pirate games, a grill and a hose. This seems to be a successful recipe for a 5 year old's birthday party. 

Maybe my favorite picture of the birthday boy from the day. Especially the piece of mulch stuck to his head - just imagine the kind of fun that means he's having!

Friends chilling.

A mad dash after the stubborn piñata finally gave way.

Mamu taking a whack. Little known pirate fact: the real rule was "walk the plank unless ye can crack Señor Piñata matey, ARRRRR!"
