It's great to be a pirate and live a life of pleasure...We fight with swords and swing from ropes and hunt for burried treasure...

July 28th....Emma's big birthday party at the schoolhouse!! God smiled on her for sure, beautiful sunshine and 85! After the summer we have had that was the best gift she received!!!

Monday night, two of her best friends, Michaela and Bella, spent the night with Emma and helped Betty prepare for the party. Here the three of them hoist the treasure into the tree. (Pinata)

A top the pirate ship getting ready to land......


Walking the plank......


At the helm.....

Carolyn was hoping they were not here to steal precious little KORRA.....


And I was certainly going to protect "little Kitty"....I told her mom if she ever came up missing I was sure she would know where to look for her. Her mother answered, "yea, I would probably start looking in about 4 days"...LOL. Guess she is living up to her name.

Michaela with her very mean parrot.....


Aunt Urch took all 28 kids in the schoolhouse and helped them make pirate hats..Here are the beautiful Rossmassler children modeling their creations. This is the family that bought our farmhouse here on the island. They all hold a special place in our hearts!!

Pin the patch on the pirate.....

28 scary pirates......


Taking a break......

Knowing how hard the older kids would swing at the pinata, Betty lined up all the little ones for the first few whacks....(Oh yea, it's a foam bat)....



Uh oh....it's starting to break....this is when the camera lady leaves!!!


Precious little Eva after her "Hawaiian Punch"....

Imagination....little Branch finds a deflated ball and turns it into a helmet...I believe he may have his Grandpa Rossmassler's hat fetish???

Tae....who gets very serious when it's lunch time!!

Presents....

The melting cupcakes.....


What a fun day.....so many memories made on our Magic Island.

After the party, Emma and her friends came to Grandma's to swim, and play at the beach. Needless to say her friends did not want to go back to town!!
