THE PIRATE FESTIVAL

was our destination today.
It was the wish of our birthday boy and also on our Stephanie-Palooza list....
The Pirate Festival is this weekend, rain or shine, at Cathedral Park and we got both....
We had a lot of sword fighting amongst our troops....
We heard a lot of ARRRG's, AVAST!, AYE!, SHIVER ME TIMBERS! music and laughter.....

The birthday boy had master skills at the diabolo booth...
And juggling booth...

We saw pirates of every shape and size and even a few sirens too....
It would be a delight for all you people watchers....

We saw sword fighting...

There was so much for the children to do!
Dancing, puppets, re-enactments, bands playing, contests and one of our favorites was Scupper Monkey Island...
After a couple of hours the skies opened and down came the rain....
Some of us who hiked our pants and went barefoot left with wet, wrinkly toes.
The rest of us just left wet - actually, really, REALLY wet!
