Shiver me timbers!

Since the 3 oldest all have birthdays within one month of each other, we decided this year to lump them all together and celebrate at one time. Yeah, we had birthday parties for them, but I like to celebrate them as just a family as well. We'd been trying to get to Pirate Island for weeks, but were waylaid several times by sick kids (Irelynd being the worst with 10-day-long swine flu!) We finally made it on the night after Brighton's birthday party. What a fun restaurant! They serve mostly pizza and pasta, but it's much better than I expected from a themed restaurant (think The Mayan in SLC. blech!). The decor was worthy of a Disney-themed establishment, in my opinion, and the costumed waiters were adorable!

This is the entrance/waiting area. I tell you, I'm going to put a wishing fountain in front of my house one year--people will throw money in any body of water! Irelynd is still in her deer-in-the-headlights phase of taking pictures.

The kids liked the cardboard hats they were given.

Are pirates supposed to be this cute?

They were all decked out for Halloween, with ghosts hanging from the trees and paper lanterns. Doesn't this look fun??? It was!

They had a balloon-making pirate roaming around doing what you'd expect from a balloon-making pirate: he was making balloons! Savannah and Irelynd each got a pink parrot. Scott and I each got a headache from listening to these parrots "talk" for the rest of the evening. (Aach! Polly want a cracker! replayed 137 times)

We discovered just before leaving the play area on the other side of the building. If you go here with little kids, ask to sit here. It would have kept our twins busy playing on the small ship and slides.

Don't you just want to eat him up? Love this kid.
